Dirk Nowitzki Vs Kevin Garnett: Who’s the Greater Player All Time?

Kevin Garnett and Dirk Nowitzki, 2 top 5 ALL TIME power forwards have often been compared to each other throughout their careers. Though their play styles were entirely different, their impact on the game was VERY close, some might even say equal. I mean these 2 played the same amount of seasons, won the same amount of rings, and even won the same amount of MVP awards. On ESPN’s top 50 NBA players of all time list, KG is placed at #20, while Dirk is #19, just 1 spot ahead of ‘the big ticket.’ Is ESPN right in their placement of these 2 legends, or is KG in fact the GREATER player all time over Dirk. Let’s look at each case and decide. My decision will be made based on offense, stats, defense, accolades, winning ability, and longevity.
