Screw it, as much as I wanna vote Zeke, I'm voting Dirk. I'd be pissed if he wasn't in the top 25.

If there is one thing to learn from this list, it is the main trends in the opinions of the ISH posters.
I vote Mikan.

Re: #22 NBA Player Of All-Time According to InsideHoops
I feel its between these guys here...
................D-ROB......DIRK......ISIAH....GARNETT....
MVP..............1............1............0...... .......1..........
FMVP............0............1............1....... .......0.........
CHAMP..........2............1............2........ ......1........
ROTY...........Yes.........No..........No......... ...No........
DPOY............1............0............0....... .......1........
1st All-NBA....4............4............3..............4. ........
1st All-Def.....4............0............0..............9 .........
All-Star........10..........11...........12........... .14.........
Isiah & Dirk had by far the better championship runs as D-Rob & Garnett were really not the best players in those championship teams nor were they that productive-dominant as Isiah & Dirk were in those championship playoff runs....
Meanwhile D-Rob & Garnett in their primes were probably better overall individual talents, especially defensively, the defensive accolades speak for themselves....
Close, but I am leaning towards Isiah & Dirk... if it has to be one of them then i say Dirk Nowitzki, he has 1 MVP compared to Isiah and i feel Dirk had a better playoff championship run especially with the competition he was facing...
I vote DIRK NOWITZKI...

Re: #22 NBA Player Of All-Time According to InsideHoops
He had one EXTREMLY short career and the only tagged "NBA" accomplishments he has is 5 x BAA/NBA Championships, 1 x NBA All-Star MVP, 6 all-BAA/NBA, 4 x NBA allstar...... and his statistical totals were ridicilously low....... What about NBL accomplishments? Do we count that as the NBA before the merger? Does the fact of him being probably the first NBA pioneer give him a bonus, by how much? What about his era? So many questions, so little time.... Originally Posted by Coffee Black

Re: #22 NBA Player Of All-Time According to InsideHoops
Oh wow, all he did in the NBA was lead a team offensively and defensively to 5 NBA championships while being considered hands down the best player in the league for most if not all all of those runs? Originally Posted by pauk

Re: #22 NBA Player Of All-Time According to InsideHoops
Exactly... thats all he did... Originally Posted by Colbertnation64

4 x NBA All-Star
6 x All-NBA team
1 x All-Star MVP
10-11000 pts
4000 rbs
1000 asts
Do we maybe count his NBL accomplishments as NBA before the merger?
I am no critic, for me its just extremly mindbogling to rank him correctly on my list....Last edited by pauk; 09-05-2012 at 12:33 AM.

Just for reference Originally Posted by pauk

No MVPs, no final MVPs. No defensive teams, no defensive player of the year award, only 1 all nba team. It makes his resume look much more bare than it would have been otherwise. Realistically you're looking at 3-4 MVPs, 4-5 Finals MVPs, a Rookie of the Year, 3 more all star games, some all defensive teams and possibly a DPOY to throw on top of that.
So something conservative like this(he could've had more MVPs but this is the bottom end of an estimate)
5 Championships
5 Finals MVPs
3 MVPs
6 All NBA Teams
6 All Defensive Team
1 Rookie of the year
6 All Stars
1 Defensive player of the year.
Also had killer instinct, he WANTED and NEEDED the ball in the closing moments. He'd will his team to win. You don't lead your team to 5 championships in 7 years in any era unless you've got killer instinct.
All while helping modernize the NBA, that's not top 20? Not to mention that's in 7 seasons...Last edited by Colbertnation64; 09-05-2012 at 12:51 AM.

Mikan would have more Allstar selections, at least multiple MVPs, and 5 Finals MVPs.
With a resume like that, who cares about longevity.
