I am not taking a shot at Kobe (the irony), but I look at the way Dirk's career has played out over the last few years and think that's exactly what declining legend should do.
Dirk has always been in my opinion one of the most efficient scorers in the league.
Over the last few years, he has decreased the number of field goal attempts (about 20 per game at his peak, down to 14 per game this season)
He is still averaging 20ppg this year on just 14 shots, shooting 52% from the field, 48% from 3 and an absolutely abysmal (by his standards) 82% from the line.
He accepted his decline and changed his game for the better of the team.
Yet he could still have a 50,40,90 season. It's crazy.
