Avery Johnson got Dirk off the 3pt line and into he post. He even sacrificed wins by sitting Dirk for long stretchs. Had Dirk develop a post game and hat patented free throw clear out that Durant also now does

Once Dirk added the elite post game he became unstoppable offensively. How do you guard a 7 footer who can shoot 40 percent from 3 but also murder you in the post?

Dirk took advantage of his matchups in the post though during the playoffs especially. KD should study some of Dirk's best games to see how to exploit mismatches. To many times I see him having a guy 6'7 on him and because of his lack of bulk or just not wanting to he ends up taking a long jumper. Which is a good shot for him but at 7'0 tall he could get in the post and get an easy 12-15 foot look anytime he wants. Dirk is an excellent 3 point shooter but unlike these players today he wasn't jacking up 6 or 7 3's a game and he knew his bread and butter was in that post with that unblockable turnaround.
Later in his career he did. Everyone ignores who Dirk was basically considered a choker until 2011. At the point in his career that KD is at now Dirk was considered overrated. That one title did more for his career than anyone outside of maybe Hakeem.

Dirk always bought it in the playoffs and matched or exceeded his numbers from the regular season most times.

act like Dirk didn't son prime Duncan out of the playoffs (only Lakers did that). act like dirk didn't get cheated for a ring in 2006 brehs. act like Dirk didn't baptize kg after kg tried to do his intimidation shyt that worked on guys like Pau. Pau is soft, Dirk wasn't.
