  • Empirical Mysteries of the 2016-17 NBA Regular Season
    Athens Journal of Sports - Volume 7, Issue 2, June 2020 – Pages 77-98 Empirical Mysteries of the 2016-17 NBA Regular Season By Thomas M. Fullerton, Jr.*, James H. Holcomb†& Michael L. Jaeger‡ This study examines the on-court performance of the thirty National Basketball Association (NBA) teams during the 2016-17 NBA basketball season. Cross sectional data are employed to analyze wins for the 2016-17 NBA basketball season. Although the results are inconclusive, there is one notable outcome in the form of a negative correlation between team payrolls and victories. Field goal percentage is, similarly, also reliably associated with team wins. In general, the outcomes obtained stand in contrast to those reported in prior analyses conducted for major League Baseball and the National Football League. Replication of this study for the 437 teams in National Collegiate Athletics Association provides an intriguing opportunity for subsequent research. Keywords: National basketball association, team performance. Introduction The National Basketball League produces an increasingly popular product in the United States and abroad. Games are watched, or attended, by millions of fans every year, especially as the league continues to invest overseas. Given that, it is natural to examine what influences win-loss records during the regular season. Prior studies have analyzed variables that impact post-season outcomes (Berri and Eschker, 2005; Wallace, Caudill and Mixon, 2013; Zimmer and Kuethe, 2009), but comparatively little attention has been devoted to the regular season. This effort examines the potential impacts of both on-court performance measures and several management variables on win-loss records during the 2016- 17 NBA season.

You have given up so much and allowed me time to study, while you took care of our family.
