  • 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.

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.

  • Robertson Still Taking Strong Opinions to the Basket
    Robertson still taking strong opinions to the basket By Peter Finney New Orleans Times-Picayune February 16, 2008 The Big O was still scoring points, not with that graceful jumper that bedeviled defenders for 14 seasons, but with words, from the hip, words from the heart. A few samples. "I'd like to see guys today try to guard Elgin Baylor. They couldn't do it. You couldn't outjump him or hang in the air longer than he did. He was unstoppable." "If there's one thing I hate, it's the zone defense. As bad as they're playing defense today, all a zone does is leave you with the feeling you don't have to guard anyone." "You look at TV shows today, you've got people rating the top 10 players, the top 30, on and on. And they haven't seen most of them play. Does that make any sense?" "You know what makes me laugh? I see a guy taking it to the basket against a 7- footer. I see the 7-footer hit the floor. Charge, says the official. I hear the guy on TV say, 'Boy, what a great defensive move.' I say to myself: 'That's crazy. Why didn't the 7-footer try to block the shot.' " Yes, Oscar Robertson, basketball's Big O, is full of opinions, the kind you can find in the man's autobiography, a book the Hall of Famer will be signing Sunday at the Barnes & Noble in Harvey. It's part of an event presented by the National Basketball Retired Players Association, which Robertson co-founded, and by the Louisiana chapter of the National Kidney Foundation, for whom the Big O has served as a national spokesperson since donating a kidney to his daughter, Tia, in 1997.
