[KubiliusF]

Where would you have kevin Porter ex Bullets one of my all time favorite as well as Arice Clark .

Top 250 maybe

Porter is in the 30's among PG's but I don't give it much thought beyond 100 to 125 or so.

I'd say 250 for sure, got some assist titles and was one of the guys to usher in the era of true PG's instead of just a two man back court.

I know this is gonna sound like a broken record but ill repoint out the dirk vs mchale argument. Prior to the begining of this season, Dirk had more points, rebounds, assists, steals and fewer turnovers than mchale did in the entirety of his in more than 100 fewer games played. Dirk will end his career with more turn overs than mchale but its entirely possible dirk ends up with 10,000 more points, 3200 more rebounds 1800 more assists and 1000 more steals. Again i realize that mchale had 3 rings but if dirk had played with a top 10 player of all time, so would he. You can make a legit argument that Mchales 87 season was better than any of dirks seasons. However, dirk has the next 7 best seasons out of the two and that really isnt arguable. Youve used first team all nba seasons before and dirk has 4 to mchales one while playing in the golden era of pfs.

Also for all the talk of the rings and such, Dirks been better in the playoffs than mchale was. Mchales playoff numbers were 18.8/7.4/1.6/.4/1.7 with 1.9 topg. Dirks career playoff numbers are 25.5/11.0/2.6/1.2/1.0 with 2.2 topg. Mchale only averaged >23 ppg in the playoffs twice. Dirks done it 8 times. Mchale never averaged 10 rpg in the playoffs, dirks done it 8 times. For a guy who one of the big arguments for is his playoff resume, thats pretty tough to stomach.

your double counting post scoring. Its the reason for his better fg% and did you seriously just say he was the celts best offensive player???? Are you out of your damn mind? There was this one guy that played sf you might wanna look at. ALso no one who averaged 18 a game was the most unstoppable offensive player in the playoffs. Thats just idiotic.

[B]Offensive Scoring Player, Yes
Offensive Total Player, No (Bird through APG, Game Creating, Passing)

Its not my fault that Dirk is not a Great Post Paint Player . He is a Great Mid Range-Post Player and Shooter but at 7
