The difference between Dirk and STAT is that Dirk doesn't have a poo covered carrot for a brain. Dirk knew full well that he could afford to gamble more on defense with Chandler stalking his opponent in the background, and with a good blend of timing and anticipation he made that a plus for Dallas' defense.
STAT, the unrivaled maker of empty promises, is so fcking retarded and so entwined in his own little world, that the concept of doing anything coherent defensively as a teammate surpasses him.
