Just talking about the CURRENT NBA season, do the mavericks have a better chance to win it with Kidd, or did they have a better chance to win it with Diop, Harris, and Ager?
Do the mavericks have a better chance of winning this year with Kidd?nba 2k8
They have a better shot now because they'll need someone to lead the team if Dirk pulls a Dirk
Do the mavericks have a better chance of winning this year with Kidd?nba mvp ,nba teams
Yes because they have a pure point guard that is not focused on scoring, he is focused on passing, getting assists and oddly enough he averages 8 boards a game, which will help because their isint really a rebounder on the team so he will help a lot.
What up Chris M,
Well i think adding Kidd definitely makes the Mavericks a better team, but the playoffs are all about matchups. The Mavs are still soft in the middle and losing Diop will really hurt them against teams like: Spurs, Lakers, Suns and Jazz and so i think the Mavericks are still only the 5th best team in a tough, tough Western conference. Especially because the Spurs had trouble with Devin Harris. i think the revised trade definitely help them because they don't lose Stackohouse for a month as originally planned and that may help their seeding, i think it's all going to come down to matchups i mean the Lakers or Suns could end up playing San Antonio in the first round... it should be a great playoff in the West this year.

I don't think so. I hate this trade. I don't think Kidd will make much of a difference and they got rid of a lot of young talent. I don't get it, maybe I'm missing something, I encourage someone to explain to me why this is a good trade, but I find it as mind boggling as the Shaq trade.
no. dallas gave up too much and it left them incredibly thin at C. the only guy they have down low is dampier. dirk is too soft to play inside and bass is too small and they waived fazekas. that was a dumb move for dallas. losing a young promising PG for an old aging PG who cant score or shoot anymore. plus harris is the better defender. and they lose 2 1st rounders.
the west got BIGGER, with gasol and shaq...but dallas got SMALLER with kidd and losing diop. i dont get that.
in the playoffs dampier might have to go against any of the following guys: shaq, amare, gasol, bynum, duncan, yao, boozer, okur, camby, chandler, west, etc....good luck with that mavs fans.
Much better chance with Kidd for THIS season, but they basically traded away their future PG in Harris. It's basically all or nothing for the Mavs THIS year.
no kidd is washed up and tired
they do not have a better chance with kid. they need two big men on their team, not just dirk. so no they dont. the spurs or suns do
They do have a better chance at getting past the 1st and 2nd Round, but I don't know if they'll get by the Lakers or Spurs though.
Dallas gave up their young up and coming PG for an aging Kidd. Sure it will help them in the short term and to win now. But in the long term, it will only hurt them.
They also lose alot of depth on the bench as well, who's going to defend Duncan in the low post now that Diop is gone? Dampier? Dirk?
They have a better shot offensively, but who is gonna cover all the good big men in the West? Kidd probably gives them a better shot, but they won't win all. They can't compete with other West big men.
No I don't think so because they gave there future to the Nets.
Hey they couldn't win the chip for the past two years with that line up so it means there's something wrong there right? So Kidd might actually be the missing piece.
Actually, they should've won 2 years ago vs. Miami. The NBA practically handed the chip to Wade. They wanted to hype Wade up because of popularity. Wade couldn't get 20+ Free throws in any other game except during the Finals when refs blew everything Miami's way.
Mavs are def. better, but still not as good as the Suns, Jazz, Spurs, and Lakers. I think the Hornets and Warriors could give them a run for the money and probably Rockets. If they had a semi decent Center i would say they r def dangerous, but you won't win a series; moreover, a title with Eric Dampier as ur sole big man.
their chances r better but not gonna win it

Who had a better resume at age 29, Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant?nba schedule
Kobe's number are not even close to mj's.
Who had a better resume at age 29, Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant?nba mock drafts ,nba teams
yeah and MJ has done NOTHING without PIPPEN!....
Kobe has taken the Lakers to the playoffs
3 of the last 4 times without Shaq!....
Kobe Bryant is better than Michael Jordan. Not more successful. Hasn't had a bigger economic impact. Hasn't won more MVPs. Hasn't won more titles. But he's a better player. Kobe can do everything Michael did, and even a few things Michael couldn't do. Kobe is just as good a defender. His killer instinct is just as pronounced. He can shoot, finish and explode. And just like Jordan, the more he's pissed off, the more unstoppable he is.
Kobe's streak of four straight 50-points-plus games is something none of those players can do, and it's something that hasn't been done since Wilt Chamberlain, who had an NBA-record seven straight 50-point games.
Most of those don't even matter. Steals titles? Slam Dunk Titles? Rookie of the year? Who gives a F6ck?
There are two that matter:
NBA Titles:
MJ: 2 (As Leading Role)
KB: 3: (As 2nd Option)
Leading Role %26amp; 2nd Option is a BIG difference.
Final MVP:
MJ: 2
KB: 0
Jordan is still better than Kobe, but it's not as complicated as you make it.
Go0d Comparison. You G0t it this time!!!!....MJ is by far the Best Basketballer of all-time!!!.....Kobe isn't even close.
G0t it? Go0d!!!
You just proved that MJ was better. Whats the question?
Just trying to diss Kobe again without really saying it right?
KING get a life...
i don't think you should judge considering Michael's career is over and Kobe is still playing but right now mj reigns supreme
HELL YEAH MJ!!!!!
GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!!
YOU CAN GO JUMP OFF OF A CLIFF IF YOU THINK THAT IT IS KOBE.
Of course, Kobe sucks compared to MJ. If anyone stands a chance at achieving MJ's credential, it's Lebron James!
why do you need to put thecollegeaward?
NCAA,NAISMITH....,
Kobe will always be the better baseball player
kobe is no jordan...never will be.
Liers will always say Kobe is better than Mike. They even misquote Phil Jackson, when he said:
"And I think it's the best that I've ever seen a player of mine play with an overall court game. I'm asking him to do so much, and he's accomplishing it."
For a fact he did say it, but did you also read the follow-up?
"I never asked Michael to be a playmaker," Jackson said. "That's the GREATEST player that I've ever had, that I could consider the GREATEST player in the game, and I never asked him to be a playmaker in those terms. I asked him to be playmaker when he was doubled or tripled. But Kobe has to set up the offense, to advance the ball, to read the defense, to make other players happy, and he's doing a great job of that."
Did Phil Jackson say MJ is the greatest player he have coached? Now this is a direct quote.

Hope this helps.
-Red Sox are up in the world series 3-0
-Patriots are undefeated and have absolutley dominated
-Celtics-NBA season hasn't started, but they've been dominating the pre-season and probably have the best three man combination this year
-Bruins-probably won't do too good but are definatley taking a step for the better. They're playing with heart...and winning
-Eagles-BC is having a historic year being ranked number 2 and are undefeated so far
Boston-Sports Capital of the nation?pro basketball
Although New York has long been the sports capital of the world, Boston IS for now.
But all time it has to be New York.
51 overall championships.
Boston
33 overall championships
Boston-Sports Capital of the nation?nba history ,nba teams
I was going to say no, but then I remembered how good they were doing. I'd say maybe tied with Detroit.
Wings--dominate as usual.
Lions--whoa 5-2...did hell freeze over?
Pistons--looking good
Tigers--had a good run at it
Boston is up there...
It does appear that way at the current moment. Enjoy it because it won't last.
Let's see...
Ohio State and Mizzou are doing well.
Blues and Jackets are doing well.
Hawks and Royals are long gone and don't miss them!
Cards should be there, Reds could have been there, but thems the breaks.
Colts are undefeated, too!
EDIT:
I get thumbs down because the Colts are taking down the Patriots next Sunday?!?
I have to agree with you; no-one can name a city or state that comes close.
Boston%26lt;3
As much as I love Boston, I've gotta say New York is better suited for that title. They have 2 good football teams, the Giants and the Jets(Even though they should be New Jersey teams but I won't even get into that...), 3 hockey teams, the Rangers, Islanders and Sabres, 2 baseball teams, Mets and Yankees, AND the Knicks.
I'm a Sox fan, and I hate the Rangers/Yankees, but honestly, its hard to top that.
--Edit--
Eh it depends on your definition of a "Sports Capital" is. To me it means the city with franchises which not only excel in popularity but money, fans and wins. In my opinion, all in all I think New York, maybe not how its teams are doing this second, but with its history behind it, takes the cake. I do understand your point though.
Kobe Bryant:
11 NBA Seasons

He doesn't have the highest career %26amp; play-off career point average, he 'ONLY' has 2 scoring titles (Iverson has 4), he only has 2 All-Star MVPs (Big Deal? That's a game with 'NO DEFENSE'), and etc.

Well I think basketball is a team sport, one man cannot completely take the game in his own hands and score all the points.. Kobe has practically no help at all and if they land a good post player then I predict the Lakers get a playoff spot higher than the last two seasons have been. I say go after JO, he even WANTS to be on Kobe's team, if not, maybe Gasol could be a good possibility... The People look at players like MJ who holds these records and name him the greatest basketball player ever:

These are just SOME of the records the world's greatest basketball player ever racked up, he won championship rihg after championship ring as well. But we must come to accept that MJ had help. He wasn't like Kobe who is probably suffering back spasms from carrying his team everywhere. MJ had Scottie Pippen most notably, the Chicago Bulls were a great TEAM. Lakers have a great player, Kobe is a great player and is probably the most prolific scorer since Wilt Chamberlain. All in all, MJ had learned the concept of a team sport long before Kobe will, Kobe is playing on a one man team, nobody can become great all by themselves without help whatsoever. You can say Kobe had Shaq, but Shaq was the great one, not Kobe. Shaq is in the top 10 Lakers to ever play the game in this list.
1. Wilt Chamberlain
2. Magic Johnson
3. Kareem Abdul Jabaar
4. Shaquille Oneal
5. George Mikan
6. Jerry West
7. James Worthy
8. Oscar Robertson
9. Elgin Baylor
10. Since he played with them for a small period of time: Karl Malone, the greatest player to play the game who didn't get the ultimate award, an NBA championship.
All of these players are "greater" than Kobe, Kobe is hoovering at #11. He needs to win one more NBA championship in his prime or he will be considered the 11th best.
They play 6 games and some of the rookies were playing before signing a contract and most of the CBA or NBDL guys don't have contracts. Do they play for free as an audition for the coming season or do they get pay the same way as a 10 day contract?
* 10 day contract - base on the percentage of the NBA minimum salary - NBA season is approx 8 months or 240days so they get pay 10/240*minimum salary
** minimum salary base on years of NBA experience, i.e. 2 years experience's salary %26gt; 1 year experience's salary %26gt; 0 year experience's salary etc...
