Was he the best that Dirk ever played with? Certainly not. And if you want to make a list based purely on the peak performance metric, I don't have any real problem with him being ranked below Fin, or Nash, or Kidd, or Trix, or even Tyson, all of whom at least arguably have had higher NBA ceilings. But taking everything into account, there's not a single Mav in the Dirk era, other than Dirk himself, who I'd rank above JET on my all-time Mavs list.

I completely understand your point(though I'd argue that chandler was never a better player than jet at his best.

I'd also argue that the Nash dirk pick and roll was as good as the jet dirk pick and roll and that was with a much lesser version of dirk. I can see the rationale for ranking jet higher than anyone but dirk, I just don't agree with it
