Just GOAT.I don't understand what he would be the goat of.

So…you got stoned watching it. Good for you, man, Good for you.The eclipse was one of the most phenomenal things I have ever experienced. I wasn’t all that enthused about it but after seeing the earth grow dark from normal daylight in a matter of seconds that is something I have never experienced. It was a real lesson on how dependent we are on the magnitude of the solar system we live in. When the darkness started I could actually feel the atmosphere grow colder in seconds. Then after a couple of minutes when the light came back the temperature rose again.
That conversation would be like this...Just GOAT.
Kidding, but he is in the conversation.
Nowitzki is the only player ever to play for a single NBA franchise for 21 seasons. He is a 14-time All-Star,[13] a 12-time All-NBA Team member,[14] the first European player to start in an All-Star Game,[14] and the first European player to receive the NBA Most Valuable Player Award.[15] Nowitzki is the highest-scoring foreign-born player in NBA history.That conversation would be like this...
"Is Dirk Nowitzki in consideration as the GOAT of the NBA?"
"No."
"Ok, then. Next order of business."

Exactly right.I think you are confusing all timer with GOAT.
Great player, Hall of famer, elite. All true.
He's not im the conversation for GOAT.
He is in the conversation. 22 years in the league. All time leader in scoring for the Mavs, I didn't say he was the GOAT, I just said he is in the conversation. And I will stand on this hill.I think you are confusing all timer with GOAT.

30-50?The GOAT conversation has about 4 or 5 players on it, if that. He's not one of them unless you want to expand the conversation to like 30-50 guys, which would be ridiculous.
I'd call him top 10-15 at the minimum.30-50 is not a slight. The guys in that ranking are legends. It might be a little off, but I don't think it's that far off.
I'd put Dirk somewhere in the class of Karl Malone, Patrick Ewing, John Stockton, Charles Barkley, Dominique Wilkins, etc... I certainly wouldn't put him up with guys like Jordan, Kobe, Wilt, Kareem, Bird, Magic, Dr. J, Bill Russell, etc... Hell, as big of a Dr. J fan as I am, maybe even he doesn't belong with these guys. I think he does because these guys changed the game. And he certainly did that.
Dirk is an all timer, sure. No doubt about it. But not in the GOAT conversation. That is a conversation that includes maybe 5-6 guys. Maybe less. And Dirk is not close to being top 5-6.
2024 Solar Eclipse
We never stay on topic on this board.
I'd call him top 10-15 at the minimum.
I'm not talking to you anymore.Nowitzki is 57th all time in Points per game.
He is 178th in Rebounds per game.
And those are his best counting stats.
