Just 24 hours after Rafael Nadal’s first round defeat against unheralded Ukrainian Alexandr Dolgopolov, it was Wawrinka’s turn to succumb to an unexpected loss at the Wimbledon warm-up event in west London. The Swiss second seed had swept through his first round clash against Australian Nick Kyrgios in just 49 min- utes as he looked to follow his memorable final triumph over Novak Djokovic in Paris with his first ever grass-court title. But, in the second round, Wawrinka couldn’t find a way to subdue the big-serving Anderson, who fired down 22 aces en route to his first win over a top five ranked oppo- nent this year. Wawrinka had been hoping to extend his winning run to nine matches, but the towering 6ft 8in Anderson had won their last three meetings, all in 2014, and he proved a thorn in the 30-year-old’s side again. “He’s a terrific player so it means a lot to me,” Anderson said. “It gives me confidence knowing the guy I beat just won the French Open. To do it on such a great court makes it extra special.” A hard-fought first set looked to have swung Wawrinka’s way when he secured two set points at 6-5, only for the Swiss to let Anderson off the hook as the 29- year-old raced through the subsequent tie-break. The superstitious Wawrinka was still wearing his ‘lucky’ pair of garish red, white and grey checked shorts that caused a stir during his triumphant run in Paris, but his for- tune took a turn for the worse in the second set. A dramatic second set tie-break saw Wawrinka save five match points and Anderson rescue two set points before the South African finally sealed his win. In the quarter-finals, Anderson will play either world number 79 Dolgopolov or Spain’s Guillermo Garcia-Lopez. French seventh seed Gilles Simon ended Thanasi Kokkinakis’s Queen’s Club debut with a 6-4, 6-2 second round victory over the Australian teenager. —AFP.

  • Stephen Curry and Sc30: Aligned Purpose, Amplified Impact
    CASE: M-380 DATE: 01/24/20 STEPHEN CURRY AND SC30: ALIGNED PURPOSE, AMPLIFIED IMPACT Throughout my life, I have made a point to not let anyone else write my own story. For me, this means transforming, disrupting and challenging the status quo. It means taking a stance in being unwilling to accept the world’s standards as just good enough and shattering the expectations put on me by others. In other words, to Ruin the Game. —Stephen Curry, National Basketball Association player and CEO of SC30 Inc.1 Stephen Curry looked out appreciatively at the nearly 50 people gathered on a warm August day in a bright conference room near Napa, California. The group included leaders of major global companies and Curry’s personal board of advisors, a small group of trusted family and friends. Along the edges of the wall were Post-it notes galore and mock newspaper headlines: “Currys Challenge the World: 10,000 Donate This Holiday Season,” and “Curry and Obama Make Chicago Great Again.” The summit had been set up to communicate the mission and vision for SC30 Inc., Curry’s newly formed company, and to identify opportunities for collaboration among SC30’s ecosystem. Over the course of one day, teams huddled around boards and Post-it notes in the room to ideate potential pilot projects. The teams aimed for projects that could create value and impact aligned with SC30’s mission—and that could occur during key events over the coming year. At the end of the day, teams presented their ideas to Curry and the wider group.

  • “Steve Kerr”). Kerr Holds the Record for Best Career Three-Point Percentage in NBA History (“Basketball Statistics”
    How Technology Changed the NBA In 2014, Steve Kerr took over as the head coach for the Golden State Warriors (“Steve Kerr”). Prior to his coaching career, Kerr was known for being a deadly three-point shooter and famously knocking down the game-winning jump shot in the 1997 NBA Finals to clinch the fifth championship for teammate Michael Jordan (“Steve Kerr”). Kerr holds the record for best career three-point percentage in NBA history (“Basketball Statistics”). So, what happened when the most potent three-point shooter in league history took over as a head coach? His Golden State Warriors won more games in a three-year span (2014-2016) than any other team in NBA history, while claiming two championships along the way (Young). Led by Kerr’s philosophy, they attempted more three-point shots during those three years than any other team in league history (“Basketball Statistics”). The Warriors’ success has caused many teams to mimic their strategy, putting up record numbers of three-point shots. During the 2016-2017 season, NBA teams shot twenty seven three-pointers per game--a number that has increased by almost ten shots in the last five years and is the highest in league history (“Basketball Statistics”). However, as Toronto Raptors’ head coach Dwane Casey notes, teams can “shoot as many 3s as you’d like, but if you don’t make them, that philosophy goes out the window” (“Lights, Cameras, Revolution”). What if I told you that it is improved technology in basketball that has resulted in players shooting more three-pointers than ever before? But, this technology has done more than just increase the number of three-point attempts.

This thesis poses this debate in the realm of basketball, seeking to find the statistics that directly correlate to the most wins. Business-minded individuals can relate this to financial investing, specifically factor investing, by analyzing what elements are associated with a security’s returns and whether that change is positive or negative. In a day when sports analytics are sweeping through leagues (see the “Moneyball” effect in baseball), having such data that can be interpreted to find how a company can optimize its success, is key to executives. The observations have found that of the several data points tested, maximizing Effective Field Goal Percentage, as well as Defensive Rating, is correlated with more total wins. iii Table of Contents LIST OF FIGURES ............................................................................................................ iv LIST OF TABLES ..............................................................................................................

  • Lucky Bounce an Incredibly Accurate New Formula for Predicting Lead Changes Shows Just How Random Basketball Truly Is
    SPORTS NUT THE STADIUM SCENE. JUNE 18 2015 7:14 PM Lucky Bounce An incredibly accurate new formula for predicting lead changes shows just how random basketball truly is. By Marcus Woo Chaos wins! The Golden State Warriors celebrate after defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 6 to win the 2015 NBA Finals on June 16, 2015, at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. Photo by Timothy A. Clary/AFP/Getty Images s a Bay Area native, I’ve been following the Golden State Warriors since the A end of the Run TMC era of Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond, and Chris Mullin in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Over most of the last two decades, the Warriors have been plain lousy—and it seemed they always would be. Even as they became a playoff team in the past couple of seasons, not many imagined they would be a bona fide championship contender. So when J.R. Smith knocked down a three to cut the Warriors’ lead to 4 points with 33 seconds left in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, I, along with Warriors fans everywhere, got anxious. The Warriors had built what seemed like an insurmountable cushion—up 15 points with about five minutes to go and 11 with one minute left—to clinch the championship. But a flurry of Smith three-pointers brought the Cleveland Cavaliers back. Fortunately, Stephen Curry would get fouled and sink two free throws, the Cavs wouldn’t score again, and the Warriors would close out a well-deserved title. But did Warriors fans really have a reason to sweat during that last minute? As Kevin Garnett would say, anything is possible, but is anything really that possible? Not quite.

  • Do Steph Curry and Klay Thompson Have Hot Hands?
    Do the Golden State Warriors Have Hot Hands? Alon Daks Nishant Desai Lisa R. Goldberg∗ November 7, 2017† Abstract Star Golden State Warriors Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Kevin Durant are great shooters but they are not streak shooters. Only rarely do they show signs of a hot hand. This conclusion is based on an empir- ical analysis of field goal and free throw data from the 82 regular season and 17 postseason games played by the Warriors in 2016–2017. Our anal- ysis is inspired by the iconic 1985 hot-hand study by Thomas Gilovitch, Robert Vallone and Amos Tversky, but uses a permutation test to auto- matically account for Josh Miller and Adam Sanjurjo’s recent small sample correction. In this study we show how long standing problems can be re- examined using nonparametric statistics to avoid faulty hypothesis tests due to misspecified distributions. arXiv:1706.03442v2 [stat.AP] 4 Nov 2017 ∗All three authors are at University of California, Berkeley.

  • Stephen Curry Reading Comprehension Name___Stephen Curry Is a Basketball Player
    Stephen Curry Reading Comprehension Name_______________________ Stephen Curry is a basketball player for the Golden State Warriors and was the first person to be named Most Valuable Player by unanimous vote in NBA history. He was born on March 14, 1988, and grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina. Curry is the son of former NBA player Dell Curry, and he learned the basics of basketball from playing with his father. While his father was on road trips playing with his team, Curry’s mother Sonya, a former Division I volleyball athlete, encouraged him to keep playing and honing his skills in the game. Curry went to Davidson College and impressed with his talents in shooting and ball- handling. In 2009, he was drafted to play for the Golden State Warriors. After 2010, he averaged more than 22 points per game, and finished second in balloting for Rookie of the Year. Curry clinched a spot on the USA Men’s Basketball Senior National Team, and won a gold medal at the 2010 World Championships. In 2012, he continued his upward trajectory by setting an NBA record of 272 three-pointers. In 2014, Curry and his fellow teammate Klay Thompson led the warriors to an early 16- game win streak. They were hailed as the Splash Brothers due to their incredible shooting accuracy; their shots always “splashed” into the net. Curry led the Warriors to an NBA championship in 2015—the team’s first championship since 1975. In May 2016, he became the first person to be named MVP by a unanimous vote.
