Chris Bosh: "Dirk Nowitzki is the best player in the NBA"

by ap3604 on Sep 16, 2011 9:47 PM CDT

Talk about a class act. Chris Bosh paying respect to the champion Mavericks MVP:

"I'm still very salty about the finals but you have to pay respect to what he did throughout the finals which was an incredible performance. Not only the performances but with the consistency with what he did..."

"As a post guy myself, as a shooter as well, not as good as a shooter as he is..."

"He was playing perfect basketball..."

I really liked what he had to say!

Thanks for posting this!

I miss 1989. I miss 1996. Please make me miss another season in 2008.

I always did like Bosh

Even after Game 6, he was very classy, almost basically saying, “We should take a page out of their book. They were a complete team.” Good guy.

True.

I actually feel neutral about him, even after that game 3 clutch shot of his. Even when he was in Toronto, I like him because he was known to be a “good guy” and who wouldn’t like a star selling his own all-star campaign by creating goofy videos?

Yup

for all the hate he gets for being a part of the Heat, he’s easily the most likeable guy out of the big 3

He's also the only one trying to be the most likable.

Ditto

I liked his viral videos. He’s got “Nash” in him with those funny internet videos. he just happens to wear the wrong jersey. haha. And he owned Game 3. That was for his family in Texas and his haters who says he’s dickriding lebron in Miami. but i can’t erase the ostrich and dinosaur memes from my head sorry.

thank you brandon roy and portland for waking up the mavs

Like it as a Mavs fan

But if I’m a Heat fan, do I really want him calling Dirk the best player in the NBA? I don’t mind him commenting how they were a much better team, but you might sting LBJ a bit.
