In basketball years, that is.
Chandler vs. Father Time
At 34 years old, Chandler joins just 38 other active players who are at least that age.
Of the other 38, only Dwyane Wade (29.9) averaged more minutes per game than Tyson Chandler did (27.6) this past season. In fact, only 14 of the 39 players averaged at least 20 minutes per game this past season.
It’s just pretty unusual for players that age to carry that much of a workload.
While Chandler’s total numbers on the season were depressed by the team’s decision to sit him after the All-Star break as part of a “Strategic Resting Policy”, Tyson managed to rack up a few impressive feats in just 47 games.
