Not sure about your joke about the Wages of Wins here (Rodman being better than Jordan.) But you don't have to read their book to know they don't argue that--check out their blog.

Again, I haven't read the book and, in any case, the math would be way beyond me, but their point is that rebounding is undervalued and scoring--particularly inefficienct scoring--is overvalued.
Otherwise, good column as always. Yours is one of the very few columns of any type I read daily, along with one of the few sports anythings I read regularly.
