    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS REVISITING THE SUPERSTAR EXTERNALITY: LEBRON’S ‘DECISION’ AND THE EFFECT OF HOME MARKET SIZE ON EXTERNAL VALUE ANDREW DAVID BRYANT SPRING 2013 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Mathematics and Economics with honors in Economics Reviewed and approved* by the following: Edward Coulson Professor of Economics Thesis Supervisor David Shapiro Professor of Economics Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT The movement of superstar players in the National Basketball Association from small- market teams to big-market teams has become a prominent issue. This was evident during the recent lockout, which resulted in new league policies designed to hinder this flow of talent. The most notable example of this superstar migration was LeBron James’ move from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Miami Heat. There has been much discussion about the impact on the two franchises directly involved in this transaction. However, the indirect impact on the other 28 teams in the league has not been discussed much. This paper attempts to examine this impact by analyzing the effect that home market size has on the superstar externality that Hausman & Leonard discovered in their 1997 paper. A road attendance model is constructed for the 2008-09 to 2011-12 seasons to compare LeBron’s “superstar effect” in Cleveland versus his effect in Miami. An increase of almost 15 percent was discovered in the LeBron superstar variable, suggesting that the move to a bigger market positively affected LeBron’s fan appeal.

  • Sixers Superfan Tom Kline
    10/21/2020 undefined Doc’s coaching record of 943 wins and 681 losses includes 176 more wins than the Sixers had during the same period. Doc spent nine years in Boston, so he knows how to coach in our kind of town with passionate fans and a demanding media. And he’s done the same on the national stage. In short, Doc is a proven winner. There will be no on the job training. That counts for a lot. Doc also knows how to coach superstars. In Boston, he coached the Big Three of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce — all first round, top 10 draft picks — taking them to two NBA Finals and where effort, defense, and making big shots in the clutch were hallmarks. Doc led the Big Three to an NBA title over a team led by an all-time great known by one name, Kobe. For the Sixers to achieve their goal of winning an NBA title, Doc will need to lead them past teams led by greats like LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo. This year with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George playing together for the first time, Doc led the Clippers to within one win of the Western Conference finals. Granted, the team had higher expectations and blew a 3-1 lead, but, hey, they are the Clippers. More important, Doc had the fifth-best regular season coaching record in the NBA since taking over the Clippers in 2013. Like the Clippers, the Sixers have two superstars in Embiid and Simmons. The key will be getting both of them to achieve their full potential, while surrounding them with a strong supporting cast and especially a shooting guard.

  • South Florida Bulls, Winners of 6 NBA Titles in the — Oh, Wrong Bulls
    The Michigan Full Court Press Volume VI Issue VIII The Official Newsletter of the Maize Rage 11 December 2004 We’re back in Crisler this afternoon for the third installment of our current four-game homestand. This afternoon, our Wolverines face the mighty South Florida Bulls, winners of 6 NBA titles in the — oh, wrong Bulls. These Bulls are no slouches though, having achieved a 5-2 record so far this season on the strength of wins over teams like Stetson and Grand Canyon. They’re coming off of a season in which they finished a hot 1-15 in Conference USA. We’re without Daniel (4 weeks), Graham (4-6 weeks), and Lester (season), but there’s no reason our team is going to roll over here in December. We need to stay right with them as their official support group and help them play a solid forty minutes of basketball in every game. Let’s make Crisler move this afternoon, Rage. Here is the starting lineup for the South Florida Bulls (5-2, 0-0 Conference USA): 1 Marlyn Bryant 6’3” G Nicknamed “The Energizer Bunny” by his former coach; has torn an ACL each of the past two Januarys so he won’t be “Energizing” for much longer 3 Brian Swift 5’10” G Short; a member of USF’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee 21 Terrence Leather 6’9” F Again, last name is Leather; USF’s leading scorer and rebounder in 2003-04 25 James Holmes 6’2” G A native of nearby Ypsilanti; career ambitions include acting 44 Solomon Jones 6’10” C This transfer from Daytona Beach CC stays truly active by fishing and playing video games Coach Robert McCullum Coached at WMU when they knocked us off in 2001 and 2002; get revenge Boston Bandwagon: Chris Capko (#10), a standout baseball player in high school in Lakeland, Fla., professes that he is “an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox and Boston Celtics” and lists Paul Pierce as his favorite NBA player.

  • Should Super-Teams Be Allowed in the NBA? Hoopers Journal Author: Peter Pellegrino Date of Publication: 3.30.21
    Should Super-Teams Be Allowed in the NBA? Hoopers Journal Author: Peter Pellegrino Date of Publication: 3.30.21 After the recent uproar of the NBA’s most talented players joining forces, the question needs to be asked: Should Super-Teams Be Allowed in the NBA? News: For those who have not yet heard the news, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets have both bought out and traded for multiple all star talents. The defending champion Lakers, who previously had Lebron James and Anthony Davis as the prime talent on their roster, bought out the two-time all star Andre Drummond. Drummond led the league in rebounds in the 2016, 2018-2020 seasons and was the number one player on the Detroit Pistons for the majority of his career. The recent player addition changes the potential Laker starting lineup to Dennis Schroeder, Contavious Caldwell-Pope, Lebron James, Anthony Davis, and Andre Drummond. Many fans view this lineup as an overwhelming challenge to almost any team that faces them. “It’s all about competition.. I love competition.. There’s this culture where everyone wants to join one another, and it goes against everything that I’m about,” shouts analyst Stephen A. Smith. The true level of competition in the NBA has undoubtedly lessened over the years, and it’s evidence correlation with the burst of super-teams has been clear ever since the 2017 Golden State Warriors. The superstar talent on the Brooklyn Nets has also been tremendous even before recent alterations were made. Early in the 2020-21 season, nine time all-star, three time scoring leader, three time field goal leader, and previous league MVP joined former champions Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
