Carlisle is propping up his boy. Somewhere top 20 maybe, but top 12 is fantasy.

Basketball-reference has him ranked 54th with Wilt ahead of him at 53 but people vote for that and people are clearly stupid with putting Wilt 53rd.

Lakers fans did the same when Dirk led the sweep of the Lakers 3 years ago. Guy is borderline top 20. No way is he greater than Jerry West or Oscar.

Top 15-17 range. If he wins another title somehow then he vaults close if not in the top 10 for me.

I'd have to look at my list again to be able to rank Dirk accordingly. I recall having Pip as my #20 ranked player of all time.

Top 10-15

Extra points for being the best Euro ever.

Guys that are unquestionably ahead of him on the GOAT list include MJ, Russell, KAJ, Magic, Bird, Wilt, Duncan, Shaq, Kobe, LeBron and Hakeem. That's 11 right there and there a significant number of others I would put ahead of him also, but those are at least debatable.I'd have him closer to twenty than ten.

I can't find Realgm's most updated list but they do them every so often.

Shaq/Chuck just called Dirk a top 25 player all-time, GOAT Euro, GOAT big man shooter. I might agree with all three.

Funny you ask. When I was doing some of the names in my head that I might put ahead of him, two that naturally came to mind are Malone and Barkley since they played similar positions. Despite his playoff foibles, I would put Karl (and Moses) Malone ahead of him. I could be convinced either way with Chuck.

Top 25-30 ever sounds reasonable. No higher

He's a Mav so I can't be sure I'm being fair, but around 20-25 seems reasonable.
