Clearly he has for their to be such a consensus of his status as "best of the era". Players including Dirk, T-Mac and Lebron say so, coaching polls say so... He's the only perimeter player to be on both the ALL NBA first team and ALL D first team in years not to mention leading the league in scoring at the same time....
