Found it! Here is our own, unimitable GMC describing the thing of beauty that is Dirk's jumpshot:

A lot of the truly unique instrumentalists, when you watch the way their hands move (even when they're playing slower passages that any intermediate player could handle), it just doesn't look normal, and in some cases even seems thoroughly ineffecient - but the results are unarguable. It's the same with Dirk. You watch him put the ball on the floor and begin to execute his moves and half the time you have absolutely no idea how he's going to manage to tie it all together, but somehow at the end of it all he squares himself up, the arm extends with perfect trajectory and acceleration, and at the end of a seemingly weightless epoch of inevitability, crafted more as an indulgence of the art than of the science of physics, the ball drops through the net with a gentle caress and a whispered promise that this meeting of leather and twine will not be the last.

Genius. Thanks, G.
