re: How important is the +/- stat in the NBA

I think it's a trash stat but some people look at it as if it's an end all be all measure.

So you have a team that has 4 Durants and 1 Javale. That team plays all 48 minutes and beats some team by 25 points. Every player will be +25.

Javale could have 3pts/2rebs/20to and still be +25. It's a trash stat, especially for single game use.
