  • Renormalizing Individual Performance Metrics for Cultural Heritage Management of Sports Records
    Renormalizing individual performance metrics for cultural heritage management of sports records Alexander M. Petersen1 and Orion Penner2 1Management of Complex Systems Department, Ernest and Julio Gallo Management Program, School of Engineering, University of California, Merced, CA 95343 2Chair of Innovation and Intellectual Property Policy, College of Management of Technology, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. (Dated: April 21, 2020) Individual performance metrics are commonly used to compare players from different eras. However, such cross-era comparison is often biased due to significant changes in success factors underlying player achievement rates (e.g. performance enhancing drugs and modern training regimens). Such historical comparison is more than fodder for casual discussion among sports fans, as it is also an issue of critical importance to the multi- billion dollar professional sport industry and the institutions (e.g. Hall of Fame) charged with preserving sports history and the legacy of outstanding players and achievements. To address this cultural heritage management issue, we report an objective statistical method for renormalizing career achievement metrics, one that is par- ticularly tailored for common seasonal performance metrics, which are often aggregated into summary career metrics – despite the fact that many player careers span different eras. Remarkably, we find that the method applied to comprehensive Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association player data preserves the overall functional form of the distribution of career achievement, both at the season and career level. As such, subsequent re-ranking of the top-50 all-time records in MLB and the NBA using renormalized metrics indicates reordering at the local rank level, as opposed to bulk reordering by era.

    Social Media Statement on the Occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the 1969-70 NEW YORK KNICKS WINNING THE NBA CHAMPIONSHIP Most Reverend John O.

I join with all of Bill Hosket, Nate Bowman, John Warren Metro New York, and especially all Long and Coach Red Holzman. What makes this victory so memorable Islanders, in celebrating that dramatic is not simply that the Knicks won the victory, a victory that still carries lessons championship, but that they won it through exceptionally unselfish play and team for us 50 years later. chemistry. In so doing they became one of the most admired and beloved teams in New York and NBA basketball history. There is often a misperception that New Yorkers prize individual achievement and care little for team play. That belief was challenged in the days and months after 9/11 when New York showed the world what team play was. And it has also been long challenged by the esteem that the 1970 team is held in by New Yorkers. Today, the memory of their play connects BISHOP JOHN O. BARRES with the inspirational team play of New is the fifth bishop Yorkers and all Americans during this of the Catholic Diocese of COVID-19 Pandemic, and most importantly Rockville Centre.

Prof. Dr. Owen Miller August 2020 Professional basketball players in the National Basketball Association (NBA) founded the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) in 1954. The first collective act of professional basketball players under the NBPA was a threat to strike just before the 1964 NBA All-Star Game. Eventually, they had achieved to get the pension plan that they hoped for many years. Larry Fleisher, the general counsel of the NBPA, and Oscar Robertson, the president of the NBPA, were determined to abolish the reserve clause in basketball. The reserve clause restrained the free movement of professional athletes for many years, and NBA players were the ones who established staunch struggle against it, in various ways, including litigation. The NBPA filed a class-action lawsuit, also known as the Oscar Robertson lawsuit, against the merger between two basketball leagues, the NBA, and the ABA (American Basketball Association) in April 1970.

  • 2019 - with the Completion of the 2018-19 Prep Basketball Season, the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan Proudly Wraps up Their Decade-Long “Retro” Mr
    100 YEARS OF MR. BASKETBALL BCAM Announces 10th and Final Round of “Retro” Mr. Basketball Winners. EAST LANSING, MI, April 1, 2019 - With the completion of the 2018-19 prep basketball season, the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan proudly wraps up their decade-long “Retro” Mr. Basketball project with the announcement of their final six honorees. Over the course of ten seasons, the project has examined the high school court careers of hundreds of the state’s finest. The list of 61 honorees, when combined with the winners of the current ‘Mr. Basketball’ award, first presented following the 1980-81 prep season, totals 100. A contiguous list of Michigan’s ‘Best of the Best’ now dates back to 1920. Noting the amazing pool of talented basketball players produced by the state over the years, past Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan Executive Director Tom Hursey and Michigan High School Athletic Association historian Ron Pesch hatched a plan to replicate the ‘Mr. Basketball’ concept, and apply it to the past. The goal was to name the top high school senior ballplayer for each of the 61 years between 1920 and 1980. To do so, Pesch hit the archives, examined the data, gathered names and assembled biographies, then provided a ballot. BCAM assembled a committee representing all parts of Michigan to examine the information, narrow the field to the best-of-the-best, and then vote for a winner. “All along, the idea was to focus solely on the high school playing careers of these individuals, just like the current award,” said Hursey.

  • A Private Journey Comes Full Circle Rebellion and Return - Part 3 of 6
    A Private Journey Comes Full Circle Rebellion and Return - Part 3 of 6 © The Washington Post - Washington, D.C. Author: Barton Gellman, Dale Russakoff Date: December 14, 1999 Five days after his graduation from Princeton, on June 19, 1965, Crystal City, Mo., declared Bill Bradley Day. Thirty-eight vehicles, among them a white flowered float, a marching band, Gov. Warren E. Hearnes in his limousine, and most of the fire trucks from Festus to Herculaneum, paraded down Eighth Avenue behind a red-and-white banner commanding, “SALUTE BILL BRADLEY.” Old home movies of the event, preserved by Bradley’s scoutmaster, Red Bryant, show Bradley waving awkwardly to the crowds from an open coupe. That night, over roast beef and apple pie at a banquet held on the old high school gymnasium floor, the Chamber of Commerce presented him a set of matched lug- gage for his trip to the University of Oxford, where he would be a Rhodes scholar. The journey turned out differently than his sponsors supposed. The British cared no more about Bradley’s fame than most Americans did a cricket star’s. Delighted, Bradley found an anonymity he had not experi- enced since grade school. He used it to experiment, raising fundamental questions about his life. Bradley lived out a postponed teenage rebellion and reconsidered every aspect of his headlong race toward accom- plishment. When the two-year idyll ended, most of Bradley’s goals were intact – but not all of them. A few days after Bradley’s arrival in Oxford, Bill Kingston wrote his old roommate with exactly the right question.
