did van gundy say nowitzki might be a top 10, borderline top 5 player in nba history last night?

[gtc08]

if so, in no particular order:

michael jordan
wilt chamberlain
oscar robertson
bill russell
magic johnson

 

[billhill999]

He was a little of the top with that statement, this is the proper statement "Dirk is the most underrated basketball player that ever played"

 

[DogDaze]

Larry Bird goes in my top five no matter what. I'd put Dirk top 25, maybe lower.

hes top 10. hes not better then any of those players i mentioned though.

 

[JakeT.]

I thought he was saying Dirk was a top shooter, not overall player. I might be wrong.

 

[steaktartar]

i think i heard he called him a top 5 german player....i may be mistaken

No he did not, he said top 5 all time. He's an idiot.

 

[HacheMan]

Top 5.... Top 50.... whatever... Dirk is the kind of player you root for and hope he gets that ring

i think i heard he called him a top 5 german player....i may be mistaken

Besides, if you're going to argue he said top 5 German player - Can you even name 5 German players in the history of the NBA?

Detlef Schrempf is the only other one I can think of off the top of my head.

Funny you mention that, because when I saw the list I thought to myself "Wow the worst second overall draft pick ever was born in Germany, didn't know that"

3. Penny Hardaway
