basketball and statistical equality

One of the things that I like about basketball is its statistical purity. By that I mean that everyone on the floor can get every statistic. Not so in football, where most of the stats are for backs and receivers only. Not so in baseball, where only pitchers get strikeouts. Not so in hockey and soccer, where only goalies get saves. In that sense, at least, basketball is the most equal of the major sports.
