i agree with skip that was dirks last shot to win the title cuz that team was getting old, dirk had a shot at the title in 06 and he lost and took that loss like a man took the blame and dont get me wrong lebron needs it to but he is on a team that will go to the finals for multiple years bcuz of d-wade this is d-wades team thats why lebron will get there but when lebron lost he didnt take the blame he knows he choked thats why he didnt ask the question
They are both right. lebron need(ed) to prove himself as well as the heat, while it might have been dirk's last chance to win. the heat has ZERO excuses not to win, and no one expected dallas to make the finals. Lebron and dirk BOTH needed to win, but there can only be one, and the better man won
@annou23 if lebron played someone respectable he might not have but 8 pts in the 4th quarter between the entire finals? Yeah its hard not to criticize that
well skip is right this is dirk's last dance in the nba finals I mean he's old and he's entire team is old so I'm glad he won it while on the other hand, lebron is still a young ass nigger and still has a lot of chance to win that elusive ring he will win it eventually
These two are great together and complement each other better than any other Duo! They're like Thunder and Lighting Peas and Carrots Batman & Robin, Shreik and Donkey?? %@ I hope ESPN keeps Steven A on full time!! he's the only analyst that keeps Skip's ass in line!!
Okok.. I got to give Skip this one.. Dirk really deserved the championship, and he just got his chance, and I'm really proud of Dallas, so much!! But, Miami Heat will win a ring really really REALLY soon...
When Skip said I won't criticize LeBron if he loses 2011 FInals, um yeah he did, he did big time, Somebody post that after Mavs won it. Getting LeBron to the Finals twice was rigged but the best thing was he lost both of em.
The Heat lost, plain and simple. And Jay Crawford had a point; JJ Barea was killing them when he came off the bench, Lebron, D-Wade, and Bosh couldn't stop him.
I actually agree, Lebron is only 26, why the hell would it hurt him ? Especially because of the fact he has Wade and Bosh, he will go to the finals again, Dirk was aging and needed it now. Skip did win.
for once, im on skip's side this time. i agree with everything he had to say here.
and stephen smith? what an idiot this guy is! no respect for dirk AT ALL! maybe lebron deserved to win it all this year if only he didnt do the decision and his ridiculous not 1 not 2..comments. I just dont see why someone like james, an arrogant, immature cocky, egotistical guy deserves to win a championship.
@oneoverjordan23 Where is Doctor J???? Where is Rick Barry??? Where is Garnett??? Where is David Robinson???? Your putting Isaiah Thomas over Doctor J????Maybe a top 20 or top 25 list
Im surprise that Stephen A is disagreeing with Skip.Dallas won't be in the finals again because of their ages.The Heat are still young they still could do it again.
lmao!!! at 1:22!! "couple of things...i usually never get on you......you my man i love you dearly like a brother..... dont ever mention jj berea's name in the same sentence as dirk lebron and dwade!!
and they say this dude is dah next jordan mane plz!!! kobe is dah next playa close to jordan we want be jordan but hes dah remix of jordan. man dah heats has 3 superstars on there team this series suppose to been ovea. i guess dah heat just love to see there fans whit a dick look on there face
EVEN IF LEBRON WINS....HE WONT GET FINALS MVP.... AND ALL YOU KOBE HATERS SAID THAT KOBES FIRST 3 DIDNT MATTER CAUSE HE WAS WITH SHAQ...WELL GUESS WHAT!!! LEBRON IS RIDING WADE AND WADE WILL GET FINALS MVP
@HIMSELF157 but that's the point if LBJ dosen't get it this year he'll probably get it next year or the year after. This is Dirk's LAST chance that's why he needs it more.
@jkang24 naw dog, if dirk never gets one its kinda sad, if lebron who is the most crucified player ever doesn't get one, he will be chastized forever.
Listen to what S.Smith says: lebron must win cause all future teams as OKC and more, come on man real Bullshit, why Lebron will feel more then Dirk? and lebron is just 26, WTF you mean about Future . if he says so, I say about JKIDD 2 times finals and never won??
@olakey, Ohh Come on man, About JKidd, 2 times in finals and get nothing About that friend?I Believe he deserved that more then anyone there?
Yeah you Right East will be nice to watch next seasons. But, But Dirk is 32 en Kidd 38, How many years can he play more?if lebron is that good like we yo saying then he can come back to the final over couple years again..about S.Smith this guy is Gay 4 sure. couple years ago was a Big Allen Iverson fan and now he blame iverson with stupid shit.WTF is that?
@olakey1 Am from Africa ( Guinea) And I respect your Opinion. But why lebron need it more and not Bosh or Heat? if you really understand BBall, Also i Cant believe that this guys talking about that stuff, stupid Discuss. Like this Guy says, Kidd, Dirk,Marion all this players are 30+ and for me. People wants that Lebron win this ring so they can talk about lebron vs Kobe? same American Stupid Discuss who is the best? SMith is gay. So people will talk about james if loss and not by Dirk 13season
@Gix551 The thing is the East is NOW harder to get out of. With Chicago, Boston, Hawks etc. Just because Dirk is 32 and LBJ is 26, dosent mean that Lebron hasnt earned it. He carried that sorry ass Cav team on his back for SEVEN seasons. SO he went to Miami as a free agent, he has basically been the main force in their wins against Celtics and Bulls. I'm NOT knocking Dirk but LBJ deserves it MORE this year. Dirk will get another chance before he retires. This isnt pity time its championships!
Skip Bayless is right. Dirk Nowitzki NEEDS it right NOW because he does not have a lot of chances to do it. Meanwhile, LeBron James has Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh that means they have a lot more chances to do win rings. Dirk is not getting younger too.
