Dirk is aging like fine wine. He's 35 and putting up a 24.0 PER, over 60% TS, and a 120 ORtg on 27% Usage. If he can keep the average of 21,5 points per game for the rest of the season he would be only the third big man who is at least 35 and was able to do this. Kareem and Malone would be the other two.

Additionally, he is shooting 49,5% from the field which is the third highest in his career, despite taking more three points attempts. The 91,7% quote from the line is the highest in the league.

Also his longevity must be mentioned. Since his first game in the NBA he had won 795 games while losing 453. In this timeframe the only team with a better quote was the Spurs with Duncan (880-356). The Lakers are following at number three with 783-463.
