Dirk at age 22 had Steve Nash and Michael Finley.
If Luka had that kind of reliable talent next to him I have no doubts that the Mavs would be a 50 win team.
Now I'm not saying Dirk wasn't the main engine or taking away from his greatness, because I'm not. He was the reason they won 50+ games year in year out. But Luka's teams talent levels aren't even close to that of Dirk's yet, and unfortunately that's saying something.
