I see you went in alphabetical order by team name bks lol.

 

[Pugz]

Kept you did yours in alphabetical order.
Hows that supposed to be a top 50?
We don't know who #1 is we only know the #1 player in alphabetical order.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

I see you went in alphabetical order by team name bks lol.

Easiest way for me to do it... Just go down each roster and come up with players that are worthy of making the list, then (if I have more than 50) eliminate players who don't match up with the rest.

 

[Pugz]

Since when is Tony Parker better than Allen Iverson and Jason Kidd?

I need to fix some things I know I'm changing that now.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

Kept you did yours in alphabetical order.
Hows that supposed to be a top 50?
We don't know who #1 is we only know the #1 player in alphabetical order.

Fine I'll go and rank them, I thought you just wanted 50 players and then you were going to go back and rank them yourself.

Well hay you and I are the only ones who did list's right?

 

[$tunna]

naw because been MVP ain't nuthin if you can't produce when it matters

I was going to with everyone's help but your the only one who posted a Top 50 besides me.

 

[playmaker7]

True...but benchwarmers on championship teams have more rings than Dirk...so that argument doesn't prove anything really.

Why does Dirk have such a bad image as a choker when he has at least made it out of the first round unlike McGrady? You never mention T-Mac as a choker like you hear it from people who say it about Dirk, when Dirk has led his team to an NBA Finals apperance while T-Mac has always come up short. I want to know why Dirk has such a bad image? I mean he was only in the top 5 in 4th quarter points last year. Only hit 3 game winners last year.

[Pugz]

Well it looks like BkS and I are the only ones that did this so I'm done with it now...

But we both did it fast so if any other people wanna do it go ahead I guess I'll still make one if we can all come close to agreeing to a list.

Gilbert Arenas hit more games winners so should he be top 10??
and T-Mac hasn't played for the same caliber teams as Dirk. Dirk had a team built around him T-Mac switches teams and is just now settling and still none of the pistons are top 10 and they won a championship so it doesn't really matter about that and you said Dirk is MVP but hasn't done anything to show it really and ealry I think someone said the mavs lost and not Dirk well T-Macs teams lost not him and how much did Dirk put up against people his size (like the Warriors)

 

[MapleLeaf]

I think someone said the mavs lost and not Dirk well T-Macs teams lost not him

hypocritical........ So it's not T-Mac's fault that his teams lost but it's Dirk's fault that his team lost?

yep because T-Macs scores whe nhis team loses yet Dirk is pretty much out ofthe game the way he plays
