Question of the Day: Where Does Nowitzki Stand Among the NBA Greats?

Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki took home NBA Finals MVP honors and his first championship ring Sunday afternoon – so where does that place him among the NBA elite?

The Dallas Mavericks, led my 10-time NBA all-star Dirk Nowitzki, won the title Sunday night on the road against the Miami Heat. In the win, Nowitzki scored 21 points on 9-of-27 shooting and grabbed 11 rebounds.

Nowitzki's regular season averages include scoring 23 points-per-game and grabbing seven rebounds. During the Mavericks playoff run, Nowitzki topped his regular season averages, scoring 27 points-per-game and averaging eight rebounds.

Now that Nowitzki has his first ring as well as Finals MVP honors, our Question of the Day for Monday is, "Where Does Nowitzki Stand Among the NBA Greats?"
