On Tuesday, Sports Illustrated's Jack McCallum released his ranking of the 50 greatest players in NBA history. No huge surprises in the top 10, but then as you start moving towards 25, a question comes to mind: where the hell is Dirk Nowitzki?
McCallum believes there are 36 players better than Dirk, placing him at No. 37. Here's a list of a few people higher on the list than the big German: Rick Barry, Dave Bing, Jerry Lucas, Dwyane Wade, George Gervin, and Stephen Curry. Now, to be fair, Curry might get there -- we're all mostly agreed that he might be the greatest shooter of all time -- but he's only 27 and didn't cross the 10,000 points plateau until this season.
