As Five-o mentioned, Dirk was also never anointed as one of the best 2-way players in the league. It's a matter of expectations as much as superstardom. Dirk isn't expected to shutdown an opposing star-PF. Wade is 'supposed' to be a good defender. The fact that he hasn't gotten flack for it does seem a little odd to me.
