Actually, the free throws are what makes it meaningful. Because he gets fouled so often, he becomes more effective. Even Shaq shooting two free throws at 60% is more effective than an average NBA possession. How often one gets fouled and scores points should definitely be a factor in how efficient an offensive player one is.
By the way, PPS is a common way to measure offensive efficiency, not something I invented. Your statement above is like saying slugging percentage is stupid.
