Maybe we are thinking of a different Dirk. I am thinking of the one who runs the floor as though he has cement shoes and hasn't bent down in 3 years. The one that has a bunch of quick little tricks and fade aways to get his shot off. The one that has a vertical leap of 3 inches. The Dirk who I think is a great player despite his lack of athleticism. And you were the one who started the comparisons. I believe that he reminds me most of Tom Chambers with Caldwell Jones body.
His body surely is underdeveloped compared to mature NBA players but saying that he is not athletic or is just better than inferior players has me puzzled.
