Dunkage Rate

I invented a new stat.

In an effort to help the #letjeremydunk campaign, a campaign to get a very deserving Jeremy Evans into the 2012 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, I invented a new stat to help his cause. It is a stat that shows what percent of the time any given player spends dunking while he is on the court. It's simple: Dunks per game, divided by minutes per game, multipled by 100. Jeremy Evans Dunkage Rate is 16%. The previous dunk contest winner, Blake Griffin? Only 7%. Jeremy Evans deserves to be in that contest.
