Default RE: Congrats Dirk

AK's +/- is a net +26.5
Marion's +/- is a net -2.2 (though in fairness the two have similar on-court numbers)

AK is one of a handful of guys in the league for whom traditional stats don't even come close to capturing the impact they have on the court. I like Marion, but I'm just not convinced that he's a difference maker of the caliber that AK is.
