When did points per shot become and NBA stat? I just saw this statistic on ESPN's NBA page. Seems like a weird stat to me.
We've discussed this stat in the Rockets forum several times. Do a search in that forum. We came to the conclusion that it was a good indicator of shooting efficiency. I personally think it's a great stat! Didn't we dub this thing the "Pole stat" after Pole who kept bringing it up in discussion?
I thought everyone in the league got two points for a regular field goal, and three for a three-point shot!?!? You mean some players get more points per shot than others? Well, that's just not fair.
The new rule is that Kobe and Iverson get three points for every 2-pt field goal made. The defender is automatically whistled for a foul and thus Wannabe and Whiner get a free throw.
