Another interesting tidbit, Dirk, pairing up with Damp, got virtually the same offensive, and defensive rating from 2004 till 2006, than Dirk paired up with Chandler. Summed: Tyson is a massively overrated player, and defender, and Dirk is a top 15 player of all-time. Dirk made Tyson, not the other way around, and our championship defense came from team defense, and the brain was Carlisle behind it. Not Tyson Chandler.
