Not the fans, not the coaching staff and certainly not the players. There’s always a certain amount of basketball soul left on the court.” - Justin Tinsley, The Undefeated Statistical support provided by Elias Sports Bureau, the official statistician of the NBA. All statistics and records are through the 2020 NBA Playoffs. All photos are from NBAE via Getty Images. 2 GAME 7: DID YOU KNOW? • There have been 139 Game 7s in NBA history. 2016 NBA Finals • Home teams have a record of 108-31 (.777) in Game 7s. • Every active NBA franchise has played at least one Game 7. • There have been 19 Game 7s in the NBA Finals, with home teams holding a 15-4 record.

  • Renormalizing Individual Performance Metrics for Cultural Heritage Management of Sports Records

    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.
