so if a player can defend the 4, he's not a stretch four?
i agree that players who don't defend are overrated. i don't agree with your definition of stretch four though.
dirk was definitely a stretch four to me. he played the four, and he stretched the floor. that's a stretch four. just because he was good doesn't mean you attach a new term to his playing just to say stretch fours aren't good.
