NBA TV just posted a graphic that does a good job of putting Dirk Nowitzki's achievements in perspective. Nowitzki becomes the 11th player in NBA history to make 10+ All-Star Games, to win a regular season MVP and to win a Finals MVP (which, of course, means a championship as well). That list:
↵Dirk Nowitzki
Magic Johnson
Michael Jordan
Larry Bird
Wilt Chamberlain
Hakeem Olajuwon
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Tim Duncan
Shaquille O'Neal
Kobe Bryant
Moses Malone
It's just so great that Dirk will now forever be on these kinds of lists, rather than ones with Karl Malone on them.
