Question Who is the best player in the league, that is the 2nd best player on their team
I think I know the answer but looking to see how obvious it is

he could be "the" guy on another team, but they wouldnt win anything

he lacks fire and emotional leadership, but his stat line rocks

so who is the best player in the league that is #2 on his team?

fwiw, I think Dirk should fall into this category and if he ever got into a situation where he wasnt considered the leader but could operate as a #2 not in the spotlight

he would be the best

every team needs a vocal leader, some people just arent born with it

Yep, Dirk looks awkward when trying to be that vocal leader! I'd love to see him in a situation like Gasol. I'm not sure what the right word for him would be. The guy is already lethal.

Gasol is a special player. Guy can shoot with either hand, face up, play with his back to the basket, rebound, pass, and play D. Still can't believe the Grizz traded him away for Crittenton, Marc Gasol, and Kwame. Still goes down as one of the most lopsided trades ever!
