Honestly don't disagree with their list that much.
I'd still put Dirk above Karl Malone and Durant, and I think he has a real good case for Moses Malone as well. But whatever, everyone's rankings are different.
Dirk is top 15 in my unbiased take.
He's definitely top 1 in my heart though.
He´s definitely above Durant.
Durant is such a poor leader and I think between him and Irving, they´ll be a massive flop in Brooklyn. The guy was on the 2nd best team in the world, a young team as well, and he ran to the best team in the world to win two titles. How many titles does Dirk have, if he joins Shaq and Kobe or maybe a little dance with Duncan, Ginobili and Parker. Who is supposed to be impressed by that?
It´s not like Durant tried on a bad franchise for years. The guy played with Harden, Westbrook, Ibaka, Collison, Jackson, Thabo and still couldn´t win a title. Reggie Miller, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone or Patrick Ewing win a title with that supporting cast.
Totally hit the nail on the head. It's why I'll never respect Durant and will question his standing on any list, regardless of his individual talent. Dude ruined his legacy by making the most cowardly choice available. Rivals Lebron "Decision" and even surpasses it imo.
