I agree, but the team surrounding Dirk is hurting his appeal as an "icon" imo.

What do you mean? That they aren't good, or they're selfish?

I mean that the talent is more evenly spread amongst the Mavericks than say Jordan's Bulls or Shaq & Kobe's Lakers.
There are examples like Magic & Kareem's teams. Those are more like the situation we have here, in that Worthy, Scott, et al. are great talents, but Magic and Kareem were way above their teammates' level.
Dirk, imo, isn't that far above.

Re: Will Dirk Nowitzki Make the HOF?
Really? I think the difference between Dirk and JET/JHo is bigger than the difference between MJ and Scottie.

Re: Will Dirk Nowitzki Make the HOF?
Dirk is the best european player to ever play in the NBA and the only 7 ft guy that can make 3 points. Those are the only reasons why Dirk would make the HOF.

Well after watching the Mavericks vs Heat finals, not much difference between Jet and Dirk.

I wouldn't say the ONLY 7 ft guy...in fact, most Europeans are able to, big or small...

I'm kind of pretending the Finals were a part of my imagination.

Re: Will Dirk Nowitzki Make the HOF?
I meant Europeans in the NBA, no names really come to me off the top of my head, but Vladimir Radmonovic is like 6-10 and Andrea Bargnani, although he has yet to prove himself, is on his way to 7 ft.
