Dirk is certainly playing as well as anybody in the league right now. In terms of league-wide respect and overall greatness, Dirk is also defintely going in KG/TD's direction but not quite there. The season is still too green. If we keep feeding him and running the offense through him, he'll be there before season's end.

When will we know he's there? When we know, without a doubt, we can take the Wolves and Spurs because our cast is as strong, or stronger, then either team.

As for topping TD/KG, Dirk would have to take it to yet another level IMO.
