100% FALSE.
Every rebound is grabbed in a TEAM context and no rebound can be grabbed without nine other players having an impact on whether it is grabbed.
Every shot is made in a TEAM context and no shot is made or missed without nine other players having an impact on the context of that shot.
Etc. Etc.
+/- is NO DIFFERENT than any other stat, it is ultimately a look at an individual within a TEAM context. Like every other stat in basketball because it is a team game.
