who do you think would be the first player taken if there was a draft of all league players?

and the stats where Dirk ranks 8th, I'd say the top 25 or 30 players on that list are very clutch. That stat is just adding up all the points in "clutch situations". So if Dirk is averaging 40 plus points in clutch situations per 48 minutes, its still pretty damn good and very clutch. The stat basically shows that LeBron has been there with more points in crunch time than Wade has this year, eventhough Wade is still a top player in the league during the final 5 minutes when there is 5 points or less seperating the teams. Though I still feel that clutch defense is as important as clutch offense.

Probably Lebron. You still aren't addressing my point, but at least you didn't call me a hater.

Now I have a question for you. If they had an anonymous survey of NBA players and coaches and one player had to take the last shot with time winding down, where do you think Lebron would finish if it were between him, Kobe, Wade and Dirk?

In regards to the stats, with Lebron "closing out" games during the regular season do you think it's ironic that is when they had so many issues. The losing streaks, players crying after games....all while Lebron was "closing out" those games.

Kobe hands down would be the pick. I'd personally pick Lebron 2nd. Though I would have no problem with the ball in Dirk or Wade's hands.

and the 3rd paragraph, every season has ups and downs, so I dont find anything ironic. Especially when this is the first season the three have played together, and they have a weak bench. They still won enough games to be the #2 seed.

Kobe
Wade
Toss up between Dirk and LeBron for 3rd.

That's being fair. Not a hater just don't feel he deserves the accolades. It's excessive and borderline hero worship.

This is the first game after the famous all star "freeze out" during Jordan's second year. I think sometimes we forget how incredible MJ was.

I give Lebron, Magic, kobe, etc their respect but I don't know how anyone in their right mind could question whether or not MJ was the best of all time. This is just his second year and its against one of the better defensive teams in the league at the time. This is before he learned how to shoot

Jordan-Pippin-Rodman Bulls would destroy the Heat. Jordan would make LeBron cry.

Jordan-Pippen-Horace bulls would as well. Jordan would have locked down wade, Pippen would have locked down lebron and Horace would have taken care of Bosh.

Barea is just awful. How many layups can one guy miss in a series?

I know Miami has a good defense, but they are getting a lot of help from Dallas. They're once again missing wide open shots and Barea has missed 2 layups.

Eight points and wanted no part of the ball in the fourth quarter. Let's hear it.

of course he did. He's spending way too much time with Bronze. yeah, you miss a tying foul shot and can't catch the inbounds pass late in the 4th. you choked big time. no ifs ands or buts about it. LeBron was his own special version of bad, but you certainly can't deny the massive choke job by Wade.

As I said after game four, I hate when I can't defend something. This is getting bad. Yeah, overall with the triple-double, it would appear that it was a good game. But the name of the game is still scoring the most points and he's had moments in these games where he should have just taken over....and he hasn't. It's very disturbing and disappointing.
