although I am not a student of basketball, I would also assume it has something to do with star basketball players playing a much greater % of a given game (don't the stars routinely play 40 minutes or so) - where as a top d-man would log a little less than 50% of the game and a forward even less.
aslo with BBall, it seems to me that any given basket is rarely that crucial because lots of the time the teams are taking turns sinking baskets.
