Whoever doesn't think there is anti-Dirk bias just doesn't know the world out there. Look at the comments in youtube clips, go spend sometime in other team's boards (I do this a lot) and you'll see what a huge anti-Dirk bias is out there. Many people dislike him. That is a fact.
Why it happens, it's been widely discussed. I think it's also because he goes against every thing that people have been taught about the game. He is a 7footer who is a great shooter, who can score on the block but also anywhere else around the floor. As John Thompson put it very clearely in an interview he did with Dirk and Kidd: "He screwed up the game".
All over America coaches are telling their 7 footers to be push people around, score from two feet away, and barely teaching them how to move. And then here comes this kid from Europe and is so succesful by being totally opposite from what people want out of 7 footers. It's kind of mocking the game that people have been taught.
That plus that he is white, and a European, makes him ripe for criticism. As someone already said, when did you ever hear "soft black boyz" or "tough European" for anyone. NEVER!
Personally I believe this all goes away when/if he wins a title. They can say a lot of thing after that about him, but it can't be that he isn't a winner or that he is 'soft' or a 'choker'.
