Will be 7th in all time scoring behind Shaq by seasons end.

I was surprised to see how high he was on the list.

Never was a fan of his but the guy is a legend.

Played with one team entire career.

Has a championship ring, league MVP and NBA Finals MVP trophy.

Remember when it was discussed if Dirk was as good as Pau Gasol?

He could potentially have 30,000 points and 10,000 rebounds when he hangs it up. Only 3 guys have ever done that: KAJ, Karl Malone and Wilt.

Statistically (PER, TS%, EFg%, Offensive rating, Defensive Rating, Offensive Win Shares, Defensive Win Shares, WS, WS/48--though Kobe leads in VORP and the other ASPM metrics), he's had a better career than Kobe. This is not saying he's the better player or had the better career, but that he's had an amazing career.

This comment is neither here or there, nor is it directed at you ribeye, but that says a lot about all those metrics if at the end of the day they can't tell you who the better player is.

On topic: Congrats to Dirk. One of the best PFs of all time.

Where would a player with the following biography rank?:

- 1 NBA Title
- 1 DPOY Award
- #4 All Time TS%
- #2 All Time FG%
- #2 All Time EFg%
- #20 All Time Offensive Rating

To be all time high in both TS and FG, you're probably not shooting a lot, nor anywhere away from the basket, so probably not high (most near every star player tends to have TS way higher than FG, except close to the basket centers) and only the truly dominant ones could put up high career averages (Shaq, Wilt) with that gamestyle.

Also take that there's not even an all nba team award (judging by those numbers its tyson chandler?), and yeah

You still need raw stats.

What I mean by raw stats is flat out high numbers of both points/rebounds and or assists over a long period. Those are efficiency numbers. Like Telleris said, a guy who barely shoots and has a gaudy FG% isn't that impressive.

Both are/were great players in this era, along with TD. We are lucky to have been able to watch them.

Amazing. Players that are double-double and/or reach 10000 in two categories are usually special. Dirk is one of them. He changed the game and the way PF's are viewed.

Dirk's early 2000s teams (Van Exel era) were a lot of fun to watch.

I gained a hell of a lot of respect for Dirk after his 2011 run, and he's been one of my favorite players since. I wouldn't mind seeing him win one more title before he retires.

If the Mavs had kept Nash, they probably would've won a couple of more chips.
