We might never see another player like Dirk again. That's why I am reluctant to think he has changed the way people play basketball.. I would have to see at least one other team be as succesful as the mavs have with a 7-footer that can shoot like Larry Bird.
People are looking internationally because it's a fresh talent pool. But people looking at Darko and Bargnani and other international athletic 7-footers so far is only a trend. I don't think we'll know if he's changed the league until years from now.
