I think dirk is top 20 all time(and actually a little higher) but I wouldn't say it's a slap in the face. In no order Jordan, Kareem, wilt, shaq, Russell, magic, bird, Lebron, Duncan, Moses, Kobe, Garnett, dr j, Barkley, Malone, dream, west, Oscar, Robinson, Havlicek are all at least close even though I'd personally take dirk over some of those guys, none of them are an affront to him

Challenge ACCEPTED! hahaha... I will find out who the greatest players of all-time are and where Dirk stands. This, unfortunately, will ignore championships. Sorry Bill.

For starters, Dirk's career player efficiency, as previously used on NBA.com (NOT PER), is a 23.74. I will include asterisks for active players since their efficiency will likely drop before they retire. Michael Jordan has a 29.19.

There's a difference between "top 20 all time" and "in the conversation for top-20".
