I like this YouTube look at the cynical stat padding that occurs in the NBA:
Then below is more depth on the Russell Westbrook factor. He hurts his team by insisting on taking rebounds away from Steven Adams, who incredibly has more offensive rebounds than defensive boards. This hurts the OKC as Westbrook is not putting the team into a situation where they can get an offense going fast, Westbrook prioritises his own stats ahead of the team...
Note that I've previously posted about how regular season games are orchestrated to ensure key players get open looks.
