Got into a debate on another board.

Look at that list and tell me who is going to pass him soon after he retires.
Duncan and Paul Pierce are older than Dirk so they're out. Vince Carter is a joke. McGrady's career is just about over due to injury. Lebron James, probably, but he is 5,000 points behind Dirk so it's going to take him a while. Carmelo Anthony is even further behind. He needs to maintain his production for five years....FIVE YEARS...to have a shot at passing Dirk. Dwayne Wade is going to be lucky to tie Dirk with the way his injuries are piling up.
Everyone else is so far out of the conversation it's hilarious.
Dirk is going to be on the top 10 scorers list for a long time.
