The reason there isn't much pressing in the NBA is because of the ball handling ability of an NBA point guard. Teams press at the end of a game to either manage the clock when ahead or as a desperate move when behind. Otherwise, NBA players are good enough to ensure easy baskets against a press.
A great article about the Stat Movement in the NBA was written by Michael Lewis a few weeks back:

- jimbokun 17y agoI just love this image of Battier defending Bryant: http://www.nba.com/media/lakers/0903mailbag_battierkobe.jpg http://www.nba.com/media/lakers/0903mailbag_battierkobe.jpg Getting a "hand in the face" of a shooter is rarely more literal than that. It must drive Kobe nuts (though he would never admit it). Will be interesting to see if Battier can disrupt Kobe in the upcoming series.
