  • 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.

  • Forecasting Most Valuable Players of the National Basketball Association
    FORECASTING MOST VALUABLE PLAYERS OF THE NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION by Jordan Malik McCorey A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering Management Charlotte 2021 Approved by: _______________________________ Dr. Tao Hong _______________________________ Dr. Linquan Bai _______________________________ Dr. Pu Wang ii ©2021 Jordan Malik McCorey ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT JORDAN MALIK MCCOREY. Forecasting Most Valuable Players of the National Basketball Association. (Under the direction of DR. TAO HONG) This thesis aims at developing models that would accurately forecast the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the National Basketball Association (NBA). R programming language was used in this study to implement different techniques, such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), K- Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Linear Regression Models (LRM). NBA statistics were extracted from all of the past MVP recipients and the top five runner-up MVP candidates from the last ten seasons (2009-2019). The objective is to forecast the Point Total Ratio (PTR) for MVP during the regular season. Seven different underlying models were created and applied to the three techniques in order to produce potential outputs for the 2018-19 season. The best models were then selected and optimized to form the MVP forecasting algorithm, which was validated by predicting the MVP of the 2019-20 season. Ultimately, two underlying models were most robust under the LRM framework, which is considered the champion approach. As a result, two combination models were constructed based on the champion approach and proved to be most efficient.

  • NBA's REVIVAL IS PURE MAGIC by Michael Wilbon
    NEWSLETTER #23 - 2005-06 NBA'S REVIVAL IS PURE MAGIC By Michael Wilbon Don't get me wrong, the NBA has had great teams since Michael Jordan retired from the Chicago Bulls after the 1997-98 season. The San Antonio Spurs teams, particularly the ones with Tim Duncan and David Robinson, could hold their own in any era. The Lakers of Phil Jackson, Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant were, at times, dominating and entertaining. And although great team play usually is enough to maximize interest in pro football and Major League Baseball, that simply isn't the case with professional basketball. The NBA has been, is now, and probably always will be a league driven by and dependent on its star power. It's been that way from Mikan and Cousy to Russell and Chamberlain to Oscar and West to Kareem and Julius to Bird and Magic to Sir Charles and M.J. to Shaq and Kobe. The greatest team in NBA history -- the 1992 Dream Team -- never even played a single league contest or a game of consequence on U.S. soil but was the most star-studded team ever put together anywhere. So there's a very easy answer to the questions of why these NBA playoffs have been so compelling, why TV ratings have been up and why there's a buzz about the NBA Finals in a way there hasn't been since Jordan's second retirement. After seven seasons of trying to convince fans that certain players were stars, the league has enjoyed a postseason where its most recognizable players led teams into the playoffs, then played the way stars historically have in the NBA.

    Double Pump Collegiate Business Conference August 2006 Universal City, CA Bill Russell and Bill Walton “Life Lessons from NBA Hall of Famers” 1 - “Practice personal integrity so it’s a movement, not a cause.” – Bill Russell - If you make $3 a day at work, give them $4 worth of work per day. This gives you job security and allows you to always look a man in the eye and know that you are valuable. - To be successful, you can’t just be orthodox. - Russell blocked his 1st 7 shots in his 1st college game and his coach told him to stop leaving his feet on defense. He and his coach did not see eye to eye. - Never recruit a player or a coach who you do not want to invite to have dinner with your own family- must have integrity. - When you get confused, listen to the music play! –Bill Walton - “We used to play for silver, now we play for life. - Walton’s parents were the most unathletic people on earth. Never recruit a player based solely on genetics. - Wooden gave Walton a “chance” to play for UCLA. He promised opportunity to develop human qualities, excel academically- but no other promises after every other college coach in the country promised the world. - Wooden recruited him differently than any other college coach and his parents loved it. - The ultimate level of your success depends upon your teammates’ ability to excel as well. Must sell recruits on abilities of their future teammates. - Do not depend on others’ judgements to value your own success.
