This is absolute bullsh*t. Dirk's not a great defender by any means, but he is certainly better than average. He is a serviceable man-to-man defender, and actually a pretty good pick and roll defender. The only places he really gets burned are on the weakside, and he too often goes for the strip when he should go for the block.
And trust me dude, we get torched much much more often at 3 than we do at 4. Defensively, Josh Howard is one of the most overrated players in the NBA.
