Thinking Basketball is doing a piece on offensive legends, he did a great piece on Steve Nash, naturally focusing on his SSOL Suns days, and now he covered Dirk.
Here's the video
;t=1259s&pp=ygUTdGhpbmtpbmcgYmFza2V0YmFsbA%3D%3D
Ben shortly covers pre-2005 Dirk, who was a very similar player to Lauri Markennen, less powerful, but insane body control and touch, then covers his best version, 2005-2012 Dirk, mid range master, with elite scoring ability on all 3 levels.
I loved the fact he actually covers one of the best and most underrated aspects of Dirk's game, off ball gravity, had Steph Curry not happened, Dirk would've been easily my top player in this aspect, Ben's video breakdown shows how Dirk's gravity changes the floor, and opens things up for the guard to operate.
I think you'll enjoy this one.
