If Dirk played like a true PF or C he would be much higher on that list. Im sure he'd also be higher on the list if he was 6'7" or whatever the average height of an SF is.
If Dirk got his 23/9 (27/10 playoff) the same way duncan got his 21/12 (20/8 playoff) Im sure he'd get more respect. People just dont know how to quantify his abilities because of his unusual game
Last year in the playoffs
Duncan averaged 20-8-3 on 53%/61%.
Nowitzki averaged 27-10-3 on 52%/93%
including a second round series where he averaged 34.4ppg, 11.6rpg, 4apg, 1bpg on 53.4% Fg, 39% 3pt, 92% FT
