George Karl would take Dirk Nowtizki over Charles Barkley and Karl Malone

[Jeffrey32]

Tim Duncan has to be the #1 PF of all-time; Karl is #2 only because he never won a championship, and Dirk is probably top 5, but if he wins the title, you'd have to move him into Top 3 because of the championship and he is easily the most versatile PF of all time.

Meh. Does anyone talk about how many championships Russell won anymore? But plenty would probably argue he is not even a top 10 center anymore.

who are among these "plenty"? The guy just averaged 22.5 rebounds per game over a 13 year career. To get 9 better centers, you have to dip into the likes of Patrick Ewing, David Robinson and Geoge Mikan. Not even close.
