I guess we can dispense with all that “KAT is the best shooting big man ever” bullshit now after he went 0-8 from 3 in front of Dirk…
I for one never really paid attention to any of that, nor bought into it.
There have been more than a few big men over the years who I'd put ahead of him IMHO.

He is up there.

If we are talking about what big man is going to make the most 3s out of 100 in a practice setting?

I am betting on KAT as #1.

When the chips are down in the clutch though?

Give me Dirk.

Dallas looking like they are going to give Boston all they can handle.

Remember all the critics of the Mavs adding Irving?

I remember as does Pepperidge Farms.

It does…

But there was also good reason why he was cheap.

His behavior and antics really drove down his trade value. Was never about his skill level.

He was also on an expiring no? They re signed him.

Not knowing what Kyrie might do was a big risk

Maybe. I honestly don’t remember.

Even without an expiring deal it was a risk. There were many teams who didn’t want him at all.

I just checked

He was on an expiring.

That along with his history were big risks

Dirk was absolutely insane shooting from 3 for a big. He is the best Mav of all time.....until Luka passes him of course.

Not sure how many times people have to tell you that is a reg season award.

Several people could have won it.
Luka is doing what he did all year. Be the best player in the league. The most valuable player in the league.

The scariest thing about Dallas is they should be better next year

They will have a first and over 20m in expiring deals to find that missing wing

(Plus omax as a sweetener add to a deal)
