This idea that where you score matters is completely false. What matters is HOW WELL, and HOW EFFICIENTLY you score. Now, it just so happens that over the course of the history of the NBA, many of its best scorers have in fact been post scorers. But that's a correlation, not a causation.

How well you score matters. Where you score doesn't.
Great post. And you didn't even have to call anyone names!
