I might have to wait until the season is over to determine whether or not Dirk is past Kobe, Garnett and Duncan. You have T-Mac who hasn't gelled with his team yet and you have Shaq who is still lingering from injuries. As of right now with just 6 games into the season I rank them like this:

1. Duncan
2. Garnett
3. Kobe
4. Dirk
5. Shaq

This could change towards the end of the season. If Dirk keeps this play up he will surpass Kobe. I give him the edge of T-Mac and Shaq due to their problems with their respective teams. IMO, the only way that Dirk surpasses Duncan and KG is if he starts grabbing as many boards as those guys do. Not exactly 15 but definately around the 11-12 range.
