Does the NBA have a travesty of the game rule?

David Aldredge, who I think is very intelligent for a TV guy, has this to say:

The "righteous indignation" may get a little thick near the end, but it's a worthwhile read.

And Aldredge knows the rule, which is more than I can say for myself!

From the article:
" If Davis had shot at Utah's basket on purpose, and missed, it would have merely been bush league. To shoot at his own basket unveils a whole new level of bush previously undiscovered by the world's top archaeologists."

Do you shoot in your basket or do you defend your basket?

Also my question, which I have clarified:

In Fed rules, you shoot at your own basket, defend the "other guy's" basket. I don't know if NBA uses the same philosophy. At least he is consistent in the philosophy he uses, even if it is wrong. Football you defend your own goal. Soccer you shoot at your own goal. Baseball you.... hmmmm.....

In soccer you do not shoot at your own goal. If you do, and the shot is good, it counts as a goal for your opponenet.
