<div class="quote_poster">Swish15 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Am I the only one who thinks Dirk Nowitzki is a little high?</div> Maybe but I can see why they put him there. He's not really he may not be the flashiest player but he's probably the most consistent player in the league bar none. he's the closest player to a "machine" that the league has. 7 footers with that 3pt % and FT %, as well as his ability to drop 30 when needed are key. He also knows when to relax when he's not having a great shooting night which is an underrated skill. He knows when to take over and when it's not meant to be and just let it be Josh Howard's or Stack's night. A lot of other great offensive players force the issue when they're having an off-night, usually resulting in a LOSS. Kobe, gilbert and AI come to mind. He has one of the highest PER ratings also.

Kobe, Gibert, Ai doesn't have the luxury like Dirk with a bunch of talented players surrounding him. Even if Dirk was having a bad night, you can bet his teammates will back him up with their scoring. the writer is inconsistent to the point where i don't know if he ranks them base on individual performance or using team concept as his main priority when it comes to ranking these players.
