Elton, Dirk, Duncun

[Kat]

Is it my imagination or does Dirk mirror Duncun in his attitude. And Brand...humm I think he would be an interesting addition to this team. Dirk is a great player but lacks the drive to assert himself, therefore the team. He (Dirk) appears not to have that ego/self esteem that is neccesary to be a "star".
He is developing into the "all around player". But lacks the motivation to become "great". He doesn't have that "killer" instinct. I recall reading somewhere that he didn't believe he had what it takes to play in the NBA to begin with. He doubts himself.

I found it magnified with Nellie only putting Dirk into the game when Nash was there to hold Dirks hand. He has the talent, he has to grow thicker skin.

On another note (should be another thread) I though it was a shame to see the boo birds come out on Kobe in his own hometown like that. What's wrong with people?
