i don't really think he has that many black dude features, but that might just be me. besides, doesn't look like he's doing too bad for himself anyways.

i think that question makes it a lot tougher decision than it should be. let's try two more: which would you rather have guarding pao gasol in crunch time? ball's in the air after last shot in crunch time, who do you want going for the rebound? seems pretty black-and-white (ahem, believe it or not, that was totally inadvertent).

Karl.

From the opening tip to the buzzer. At both ends of the court. From October to June. Day game, night game, back-to-back. Healthy, injured. Rec league, NBA, Olympics. Wherever, whenever.

I think deep down inside, all these Laker haters are jealous or envious because no matter what, you guys bring them up over and over again.

And that clunker was a miss, simple as that. He didn't choke. He got the shot he wanted and delivered it the way he usually does, sometimes the ball just doesn't fall and that's what happened. Dirk scored the last what? 12-14 points of that game for Dallas?

I mean seriously, sometimes it just doesn't seem like you watch the games and just the selected few highlights with your comments.

I didn't see this one. Had to work. Will see tonight's. Heat at the buzzer.

Can't help but point out that neither ever won anything. As opposed to Tim Duncan...

Being a star athlete goes a long way, of course.

Well, not exactly. I was thinking of Lenny Kravitz, Halle Berry, etc. Caucasian features and dark-ish skin. Anyway, I'm kind of regretting bringing this up. Not a very comfortable conversation to have with strangers.

Well, in fairness, if Dirk never wins anything it won't be because he wasn't good enough. It will mainly be that by the time he hit his stride he never had any help. Malone had Stockton but he was just unfortunate to play at the same time as Jordan.

Well the best silver lining I can scrap out of this season is that when the Heat win their ill-gotten championship LeBron won't be the MVP. D-Wade in beast mode.
