Re: Barkley vs Dirk vs Kobe vs Wade
Probably the way you did. Although Kobe might be ranked ahead of Dirk... not easy to compare shooting guards vs. power forwards.
PC Board All Time Fantasy Draft:
PG Mark Price (92-94)
SG Manu Ginobili (05-07)
SF Larry Bird (84-86)
PF Horace Grant (93-95)
C Dwight Howard (09-11)
+
Bernard King (82-84) Vlade Divac (95-97) Derek Harper (88-90) Dan Majerle (91-93) Josh Smith (10-12)

Re: Barkley vs Dirk vs Kobe vs Wade
Sheer efficiency goes to Barkley but if you factor playoff scoring into it, I don't see how this is not Dirk. He is the only one out of the four whose efficiency basically stays the same. All the other three has a bigger dip in scoring efficiency. This just shows you how unique of a weapon Dirk was between 2001 and 2011. I have to mention that Barkley's dipped scoring efficiency is still higher than Dirk's, but I feel Dirk was a more versatile scorer. I could see someone putting Barkley first though, that efficiency is otherworldly.
My ranking would be: 1st Dirk, 2nd Barkley, 3rd Wade, 4th Bryant. Naturally, the list is relatively tight and there is room for discussion.
