Dirk was not a very solid player when the Mavs first got him in 1998, he was asked to play Power Forward because of his towering size over many other players in the league. The biggest issue? He wasn’t very good at playing defense. Hecklers in the stands would call him “Irk Nowitzki”, because he had no D.

That isn't really completely accurate. Nellie had Dirk playing SF quite a bit early on which was about as stupid as when PJ Carlisimo had Durant play SG.
