Dirk is better than everybody ahead of him on the regrets row, no way Charles Barkley and Karl Malone is better than Dirk. I’m taking dirk over Kd, Giannis and Jokic as well. The rest of the list is good though.

My top 10 would be:
1.Jordan
2.Lebron

3.Kareem
4.Magic
5.Duncan
6.Steph
7.Kobe
8.Bird
9.Shaq
10.Hakeem

The funniest thing on these lists is always Bill Russell being ranked but rarely getting talked about.
Smartest player that ever played the game. Now I know why my goat always:russell:'ed at you brehs:mjlol:
People only include wilt and Russell in these because they feel obligated. Having them at like 7 & 8 makes zero sense. Either you’re ranking players on stats/accomplishments/greatness to their era, the they would be 1 and 2, or you’re ranking who’s the best player and neither would be close to top 10. Russell was a 6’9 center that couldn’t shoot and wilt was a 7’1 freak athlete that couldn’t beat the 6’9 guy that couldn't shoot.

People just throw them in between tiers because they feel like they have to.

Be serious man. I love Dirk but compared to those guys he one-dimensional. They all do pretty much everything better than dirk with the exception of dirk being a better shooter than giannis.

I’m honestly not sure what definitively puts Magic a tier above Bird besides passing. And Bird was an underrated passer himself, if anything they need to be on the same tier.
Honestly, nothing. Magic and Bird are like a married couple to me. I would even put them in their own tier. The Magic and Bird tier
