exactly. It's an average. When Dirk's not as great as he is now at the end of his career, his numbers aren't going to be as inflated as they are currently.
and being 7 foot tall and doing this stuff doesn't make you change the league. It doesn't make people train to be 7 feet tall. There are still very few players that are able to emulate what Dirk does. He hasn't changed the league. He's been the impetus for a slight trend in how big men play outside more, but nothing shows that this will be sustained. In fact, the most heralded big men coming into the league right now are strictly inside players.
