It is FASTEST GOAL SCORER, either of the category, “INSIDE THE ARC or OUTSIDE THE ARC”. Furthermore, some NBA fans pointing out of some department’s life, Block, Assists, Steal and Rebounds. However, it is not the main instrument to win as a team. And the scoring as main objective of every team. Otherwise, Score of the player as most important than other departments. See, below;
