Dirk was a rather weak defensive player the first 5 years of his career...but these last couple years his defensive improvement has gone largely unnoticed...but his is a vastly improved defensive player.

yeah -- he's got Karl Malone's only defensive move, a strip, and a lot on top of that.
it really struck me in the Nets game last week just how much the mavs had missed dirk's defense in the previous game v. the rockets.

he is solid off the ball, solid blocking shots, solid man on man....not great...but I think more than passable...he might even be nudging closer and closer to a "good" defender.
