Last night, I was watching San Antonio vs. Dallas on ESPN, and Dirk had a great, great game. The dude was unbelievable. But I was just wondering about something.... do you think this guy will ever win a championship, and if not... where will he rank among the great athletes in sports who never won one? Would he be up there with Dan Marino, Charles Barkley, Stockon/Malone, etc. or will he be more like a Reggie Miller, a guy who was well respected, but the fact that he never won a championship is ever brought up?
I personally think Dirk will remain in Dallas for the rest of his career, like Reggie did in Indiana, but I don't think he'll ever get a squad good enough that could help get him a championship ring.
So, with that said... Dirk, in my opinion, most definitely deserves to be up there with the greats never to win a championship, if my prediction turns out to be correct. He's one of the most gifted big man to ever play the game, if not THE most gifted. I mean, when you think about what this man can do... it's truly unbelievable. He has an absolutely gorgeous shot, and when he wants to, he can play great in the post as well. He's also a good rebound and defender as well. He's a bit soft, which hurts his case, but outside of that... I don't know how anyone could ever deny his skills. When it's all said and done, I think he'll end up being a top 5 Power Forward to ever play the game, championship or no championship. What do you think?
