I agree completely. I also scoffed at this line- "If pushed though, I’m ranking Dirk behind Duncan (a better leader and defender) and Malone (a more explosive scorer and the only power forward more durable than him),"
I agree that Duncan was overall a better player because of his defense, but this esoteric notion that Duncan was a great "leader," I've always found a little ridiculous. And if I can choose between Dirk and Malone, I'll take Dirk any day of the week and twice on sunday.
Still though, it's just nice to see non-Dallas writers to give Dirk some props.
