Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to put either guy out to pasture any time soon. Both have several seasons of the high caliber basketball we're accustomed to ahead of them. I just think that if you take Duncan at 35 and Dirk at 35 that Duncan's game would allow him to have more useful years beyond that than Dirk's.
