Still one of the most lethal scorers alive at 37, the future Hall of Famer poured in 26 a night on a sublime 64.1% true shooting, drilling 41% from three and 87% at the line. He's a walking bucket who gets a quality shot whenever he wants — the defense has slipped and he's no longer a playmaking hub, but the offense remains automatic.
