stat padding
Meaningless statistics accumulation
Stat padding is artificially inflating one's statistics, especially in sports or video games, through actions that boost numbers without contributing meaningfully to winning.
A basketball player might chase rebounds from teammates or pad assists with easy passes.
The practice prioritizes personal metrics over team success: He's just stat padding in garbage time.
Extended to any context where someone games metrics rather than achieving genuine results.
