    I was just thinking while watching Dirk Nowitski...is he the best white player since Larry Bird? I can't think of anybody else...dang Dirk can light it up. so tell me who the best whitey in the NBA is. Jason Kidd doesn't count.

    Spyke, have you seen Dirk play. He can play 5 spot. easily. Anthony Mason cant play all positions. KG is next to Dirk at playing all positions in this time. The all time player to play all positions was diefinitly Magic Johnson, not Bird...thats just dumb.
