In the NBA, BA are useless because they aren't tracked properly. Same goes for BS to a lesser extent.

You surely meant to say "Nick Van Exel's assist stats were manipulated in home games at one point in time"...


Did you even read what is written on the website I posted the link to?

I thought a GM would know better than post spam in a suggestions thread...

Do you also keep your own stat sheet updated when watching a game ? Believe me some players block shots and they never appear on the stat line.
But at the end of the day it doesn't make a difference and I don't care.

The original Van Exel incident is well-know. That's also the only case for which there is factual evidence. Everything else, as the author himself admits, is allegations with little support.


the author admit done this in less several cases a lot, even with support from externals ;)

Even when i expect the stats here quite objective, with little failures while making alley hoops without an Assist or some ghost assist from the bench.

I see the BA statistic in the box scores now, but am a little bit of a loss as to how one should interpret it. If a guy try to block too many shots and is out of position because of it? What about steal attempts -- players gambling on steal attempts that end up leading to easy baskets for the other team....

BA does not mean how often a player tried to block a shot, but how often a players shot (attempt) was blocked.
