The Athletic's Jeff Maillet had Dirk as the 51st best player in NBA history
Wow

I made it 6 months on the Athletic. It ended up being garb.

The Athletic started out as a different and unique publication until like every other one they eventually settled for click bait.
Putting Dirk at 51 is absolute trolling click bait. The guy just wants a reaction from Mavs fans, so I say don't give it to him. Never even heard of the person.

Your mileage may vary on Bill Simmons, but since 2011 he has always touted Dirk's greatness. He ranked Dirk #17 all time. Incidentally he ranked Garnett at 23, which surprised me given that he's a mega Celtics homer. I've never heard him break down Dirk vs. KG but I would really like to hear his reasoning on it.

ESPN just came out with their NBA 75th anniversary rankings. They also ranked Dirk at 17, ahead of Garnett, Giannis, and even Jerry West. I don't totally agree with all of their rankings, because I would have West and Giannis slightly above Dirk, and they also have Dr. J ahead of all them at 14, whom I would have significantly lower. Still, 17 overall I think is a very fair ranking for Dirk and it makes me happy to see him get the respect he deserves after he was so unfairly maligned before 2011.

Agree. What they don't realize is every stupid thing theyvsayvjust reduces their credibility. To which they usuallyvrespond with even more ridiculous statements. Why pay attention to complete idiots?

Simmons is a good old school sports reporter. Yes he's a Celtics homer, but hecwears his fandom proudly, rather than hide it. This shows he can be objective despite that...and his articles are usually good writing, not click bait. You think most sports talking heads could write even one good article? I don't.

Oh you don't have to convince me how good he is. I'm a huge fan. I listen to his podcast almost every day.
