Why isn scoring factored into Power PointsTM ?
Because scoring is not powerful. As Charles Barkley so eloquently put it, “Any knucklehead can score. All you have to do is shoot a lot. It takes brains to rebound.” Remember, more power points means a player is a better defender and better team player. Gunning accomplishes neither: it does not make a player a better defender (although some jordon jockers have tried to argue that it does), nor does it make a player a better team player, since it usually makes your teammates mad.
