About the Dirk situation.
No one in the NBA can guard Dirk when he gets on the elbow. And yes, Avery wants him to play more like he is 7 foot. And while that may never be his game, he has certainly tried. It is hard to get Americanized. It is funny. We want our athletes to get a mid range game that is consistent. We want international players to be more athletic and have a solid post game.
The corvette analogy was great. But a little misguided.
A corvette is a great vehicle. Not everyone can have one. When you feel like hitting the street, few cars can match it. But you are right, can't take on the heavy loads. Sexy, and masculine, but not a monster truck. Like the comment was made earlier, we need both. If we can keep Dirk and still get a brusier, that seems to be the best bet.
The question is, do you have to give up one to get the other?
Avery likes to play Defensive Basketball. He is old school at heart. He wants to play Nelliepop ball. I dont think he can do it with out a better Athletic Center.
