Never quite understood Stevenson over Roddy back in 2011 which I admit was a brilliant move and surely has a lot to do with it.
But also gotta say that I think for some part this is system-based. You can communicate and express trust in young guys or you can bring in washed-up veterans every time it gets tough. Right now I think it's a fixed mechanism for this team, part of their identity and how they operate. And at least I have a hard time sometimes to accept it, bc the older Dirk gets the more I think this is not the strategy to choose.
But we won a championship this way, so really hard to challenge.
