    They did a segment on that during TNT Overtime and it was the first time I ever noticed it. It was pretty hilarious seeing their reaction.

    +1. and he's a PF that is not a great rebounder.

    dirk is an all-time great player, but the adulation for him is getting out of hand.

    Elvin Hayes - Better than Dirk just about every other player on that list.

    Dirk is most definitely Not a top 10 player.

    Moses Malone
    Hakeem Olajuwan
    Clyde Drexler
    Elvin Hayes

    Thats 4 players that played for the Rockets that was better than Dirk and we still have the rest of the league.

    I agree he is not a great rebounder.... he is a good rebounder but certainly not great.

    Magic?

    Dirk isn't top 10. MJ, Cap, Wilt, Bird, Magic, Russell, Oscar, Doc J, Hakeem, Shaq, Duncan, Kobe. That's 12 alone.

    dirk's career isn't even better than lebron james' career and lebron is not close to top 10.

    i don't know what carlisle is thinking. i guess he's trying to pump up his star since this laker series win is probably dirk's biggest in his career.

    I saw that. The fact that 33% believe it baffles my mind

    But he is not a Houston Rocket and since we can find easily find 10 non-Houston Rockets better than Dirk I would call us impartial.

    Dirk is Great? yes.
    Dirk is All-Star? yes.
    Dirk is HOF? yes.
    Dirk is top 10 player of all time? Not no but not even close.

    Wilt Chamberlain
    Moses Malone
    Kareem Abdul Jabbar
    Dream
    Big E
    MJ
    Magic
    Bird
    Dr. J.
    Bill Russell
    Shaq
    Big O
    Karl Malone
    Tim Duncan
    Jerry West
    Clyde Drexler


    Hmmmm. Top ten? The list could go on. Dirk is on the same level as Dominique Wilkens.

    Well even if he was a Rocket, Hakeem would still pretty much be the obvious candidate.
