Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitski, how many Championships will they win? (if any)

Journeyman · Jan 10, 2007

Two of the games best offensive players, both are having banner seasons once again, but will either ever win it all?

This is probably their best chance to date, the East looks weak, whoever comes out of the West has to be the team to beat ....and the Spurs are not as dominant and look O-L-D!

Will Nash and or Dirk ever get a ring?

Dirk has to be the all-time 7 footer with minutes played and almost zero dunks!

:drink:

No dunks for this 7 footer! :suomi:

Only 7 footer I can think of that regularly takes 3-point shots.

It almost seems he has a better shot at making that three than a semi-contested layup...he is on fire though right now!

Both have a really good shot this year. I think Dallas is primed to win it all.

I have much man love for both of these ballers. One of them definitely gets a ring this year, hopefully Dirk. Not sure on the exact numbers, but seems Dirk's 3 point attempts are way down this year, he's become a much more efficient player. He and Josh Howard are gonna lead the Mavs to their first ring this year. :suomi:

they both have a very good chance this year...

What i would kill to have for an nba championship that will rival any series in history...

agent Zero vs The Nashster!!!! that would be a killer play off series that would probably get the highest ratings ever! (the heroics alone from those two that would lead to this series would have the entire basketball world on fire..)

Can you imagine agent zero in multiple series just chucking up 30 footers game after game like its nothing? And nash feeding a healthy Amare and Marion....woooohoooooo....A basketball fan can only wank to this!!

They played a pretty entertaining game about 2 weeks ago, would be a fun series to watch no doubt.

Both are great offensively, mediocre defensively. That's what hurts them when the playoffs roll around, the defense gets a lot tighter than it is during the regular season. That said I wouldn't be surprised to see one of them get a ring this year, almost expecting it in fact. Dallas does play much better defense than they used to, they aren't quite as soft as they once were. They might be poised to make a serious run if they can stay healthy.

The N.B.A. has a way of making sure their stars get rings. 1 of them should get 1 soon. They made sure Wade, Payton, and Walker got 1. They made sure Dr. J. got 1. Kobe and Shaq were given 3! Worst team of all time to win a championship and they won 3 of them.

The N.B.A. was the first pro league to understand how to make their stars bigger than they really are. Now the N.F.L. and M.L.B. are diong this too. It's good for business if you can get everyone to think certain players are way better than others.

Most winning gamblers understand that all star players are overated and don't panic when they don't play a game. (see McNabb, and Jordan).

And Karl Malone and John Stockton never got theirs, real shame.

They had their chance, although it was against the league backed Bulls. The N.B.A. fell in love with the money that was coming in because of the Bulls popularity. The whole league didn't mind the Bulls winning because it help everybodys bottom line. More money!
