In the same vein, I only count rebounds where the guy getting the bound 
boxes out.  Similarly, I give (and take away) aesthetic points on the 
shots of NBA players.  For instance, nothing but net gets you 4 points, a 
clanker that goes in anyway gets only .5 points.  In fact, I keep my own 
records and standings.  Boy, you have no idea how much free time this eats 
up.  You'll be happy to know that the Celtics are well on their way to 
winning the championship in my league, though.  It may have something to 
do with the 50-point lead I give them at the start of each game.  I'm 
prejudiced.

Sorry.  Statistics may lie, but an assist is an assist is an assist.
