There is no doubt that dirk is superior to a vast amount of players as a specimen and collection of skills. But those skills do not and have not fostered the type of basketball that needs to be played in order to win a championship.
mavs play around the perimeter instead of inside-out--greatly because dirk doesn't like the paint.
i'm only trying to critique the philosophy and direction of the mavs. how could a valid assessment be made if the best player and focus of the offense is not mentioned?

This is your board, and your team. I understand your concern, but consider that Dirk has never been a prototypical PF. All I know is that every time the game is on the line, and Dirk puts up one of his falling-away contested floaters, I KNOW that it's going in. I just put my head down in my hands, because it just is. Is that enough to win the championship? So far, no, it hasn't been, but I just can't see putting that all on Dirk. Sure, he's your leader, and rightfully so, but he can't do it all by himself.
