Sporting News is out with its top 75 All-Time NBA greats, based on how good they were at their peak. That lets guys like Chris Webber in, in spite of careers shortened by injuries. They rank Dirk as #18, and I have no quibble.

Their blurb cites his 2011 championship over Miami's big three as his peak. However they failed to mention that he beat 7 guys on their top 75 list, including three, Kobe, LeBron and Duncan, who rated higher on their list than he did. The Lakers, with Gasol, the Thunder with Harden and Westbrook, and the Heat with Wade, all had at least 2 top 75 players. The Mavs only All-Star was the big German. Now that is a peak performance!

They also failed to mention that he revolutionized the game. No one can get hired as a four now, unless he can hit the three. That's all Dirk.

All Hail...and is the statue up yet?
