I think Dirk gets it more than he lets on. And along with that I like to think he has a more nuanced natural understanding than most of what leading a team entails. I actually find it encouraging that he seems fairly impervious to the often far too simple-minded insistance on the part of fans and the media that he act like Kobe or KG or something along those lines. There's nothing more important for a leader to understand than that he's got to be himself, first and foremost.
