I agree and should've been more clear.... He never had a traditional back to basket game (I think of drop steps and using sheer strength/ body mass).... And there was a time where Dirk was frustrated by smaller defenders and couldn't get the position that he wanted, but he got past that phase and started making smaller defenders pay on the low block.
