  • 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.

He won five championships and legions of admirers. When he was forced to retire in after contracting HIV, the basketball world reacted with a profound sense The Age of Magic loss. Gone from the game was the greatest point guard The Age of Magic ever lived. When he came back inhe rejuvenated the league. More staying power than Nate Archibald or Walt Frazier. More creativity than Maurice Cheeks and even Isiah Thomas. What made Magic great? First, he was nearly impossible to guard. At 6'9" and pounds, he coupled the size and strength of a power forward with the quickness of a point guard. He could force smaller defenders into the lane and shoot over them he patterned his "baby sky hook" after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 's favorite shotand he could run circles around bigger players. He displayed keen vision and passing sense, and he was a phenomenal rebounder compared to other The Age of Magic. He thrived under pressure, especially in the fourth quarter. He called it "winnin' time. Johnson played for the Los Angeles Lakers during their "Showtime" era of fastbreaking offense and crowd-pleasing defense. Magic became a celebrity as recognizable as the movie stars who sat courtside at the Fabulous Forum. It was a remarkable climb for Johnson, a native of Lansing, Michiganwho was born August 24,the sixth of 10 children of Earvin and Christine Johnson.

  • Racial Double Standards? the Case of Expected Performance and Dismissals of Head Coaches In
    Racial double standards? The case of expected performance and dismissals of head coaches in NBA Carlos Gomez-Gonzalez, Julio del Corral, Andrés Maroto ABSTRACT Professional basketball in the US provides an opportunity to test racial differences in the labor market. In contrast to other professional sports, such as baseball or American football, and, more deeply, to other economic sectors, black Americans are represented in influencing positions as head coaches in this competitive setting. The paper investigates the influence of the race of the coach and performance (winning ratio and an efficiency index relative to expectations) on dismissal decisions. The data includes coach- team information over a 20-year period of time in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the analysis uses several probit models. The results show that black head coaches are more likely to be fired and less prone to quit than white head coaches, ceteris paribus. Both measures of performance (efficiency and victories) also play a significant role in dismissals. Keywords: Basketball, Coaches, Dismissal, Efficiency, Race, Performance, NBA 1 1. Introduction In the words of Samuel Johnson, racial discrimination was a fact "too evident for detection and too gross for aggravation" in the American society of the first part of the 20th century (Arrow, 1998, p. 92). African Americans had a strictly limited access to certain jobs, which prevented them from creating a social network and reaching top positions (Ibarra, 1995). In recent years, although African Americans still face barriers to access leadership jobs in certain sectors, they have successfully scale top positions in professional sports, particularly in basketball.
