Before the Conference Finals, Dallas Mavericks Coach Rick Carisle said he believed Dirk Nowitzki was a Top 10 All Time player in the NBA. I said I was confident he was a top 15-20 player but without a title he couldn't move up. Well congrats to Dirk, cause him and the rest of the Over the Hill Gang (Kidd, Marion, Chandler, Terry) won a title!!! Does that move him into the top 10? IDK
About the rankings. I took into account personal per game stats but only about 1/3 of how I ranked. Titles mattered A LOT. If a player makes the list without a title, then they were transcendent players. There are only 3 players without titles who made the list. The ERA of a player definitely counts! So no George Mikan! Sorry Minneapolis Lakers Fans. LOL. But one thing is for sure, I quantify a whole player. Not just an offensive player.
20. Charles Barkley- "I am not a role model" but I am the best 6'4" PF of All Time!
19. Jason Kidd- I did not beat my wife and that is not why I was traded from Phx. Nash says Thanks.
18. Kevin Garnett- "The Kid" changed the culture in Boston. Got a Title. Contenders every year.
17. Chris Webber-Long Shorts. Fab Five. Culturally he ranks 3. His smooth PF game was revolutionary!!!!
16. Hakeem Olajuwon-Akeem from the Phi Slamma Jamma. 2x champ and father of drop step jumper
15. Shaquille O'Neal-BIG MAN. used his size. 4 titles. If he could hit FTs, he would be at LEAST #2!!!!!

13. John Stockton-Dirty? No. Tough as nails? Yes. Pain in ass? Yes. 1st in Assists All Time. Yes.
12. Dirk Nowitzki-Greatest European Player EVER! Has a legit argument as Greatest Shooter Ever.
