Dirk is still good, but the chart of Tim Duncan's 36-minute splits is the most ridiculously age-defying stat in basketball

That's
insane consistency. Even this year with his shot attempts going way down, he's still at his career average or above for rebounding, assists, steals, blocks, and FG%.
(p.s .- Those are just 36-minute numbers. In case anyone forgot, Duncan used to be a 25-13-4-3-1 guy when he was playing 40 minutes/game.)
