There is no such thing. People die. New people are born. The world keeps spinning.
I think the Aguirre comparison is apt...
EXCEPT - The comparison is to Flagg NOT Luka...
Aguirre the last #1 pick in the franchise history never became what Luka had in 5 years. Aguirre was a piece on a championship team in Detroit, and Flagg might be that one day. Luka was a top 5 player in the NBA for about 4 seasons. The greatest Mav in the franchises history was that for about 2 years max. Dirk will always be more regarded than Luka, because of longevity, levity, and loyalty. BUT Dirk was not in the conversations Luka has been part of... Defense not withstanding.
