About NBA Statistics

Statistics have been an important part of professional basketball since the NBA's earliest seasons, but the league has not always tracked every statistic used today. Points, field goals, free throws and personal fouls were recorded from the beginning, while other statistical categories were introduced later.

Rebounds became an official NBA statistic during the early 1950s. Steals and blocked shots were not officially recorded until the 1973-74 season, meaning the official career totals for players such as Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain do not include blocks or steals.

Modern NBA statistics have expanded far beyond the traditional box score. Advanced measurements such as offensive rating, defensive rating, effective field-goal percentage, pace and usage rate are now commonly used to evaluate players and teams.

NBA Hoops Online focuses on both modern statistics and historical statistical records, including career leaders, single-season leaders, single-game performances, team records and unusual statistical achievements.
