Agree, and I’m a Mavericks fan.

Dirk, KG, Malone is a distant 3rd. Dirk won his title as the lone all star in his team. KG had two other Hall of Famers. Dirk also averaged 33 ppg in their lone playoff series versus KG (3-0 sweep) and has winning record when going head to head.

I watched probably 80% of Dirk’s games…. Guy was unstoppable. KG was great too, but he was nowhere near the offensive force that Dirk was. And for all of KG’s defensive prowess - he never stopped Dirk from kicking his ass.
