2008 History.Indd SPARTAN BASKETBALL HISTORY AND TRADITION 1979 NCAA CHAMPIONS The 1978-79 season was truly a magical one for Coach Jud Heathcote and his Michigan State Spartans. Blending a perfect combination of individual ability, enthu- siasm and teamwork, Heathcote formed a cohesive unit that captivated the nation and sellout crowds at Jenison Field House. The Spartans compiled a 26-6 overall record and went 13-5 in the Big Ten to share the league crown with Purdue and Iowa. State steamrolled through the NCAA Tournament, ending the season on top of the college basketball world with a 75-64 victory over Larry Bird and unbeaten Indi- ana State. The 1978-79 squad gathered at Jenison Field House on Aug. 12, 1989, to play one more game against a team of former Spartan All-Stars. On a hot, sweltering night, the National Champi- onship squad, led by Earvin Johnson’s 25 points and 17 rebounds, topped the All-Stars, 95-93, before a sellout crowd of 10,004. 126 MICHIGAN STATE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2000 NCAA CHAMPIONS Tom Izzo repeatedly talked to his team about leaving its mark on the program. The 1999-2000 Spartans did more than leave their mark; they set the standard by which all future Michigan State teams would be measured. Part of being a champion is winning titles, which the Spartans accomplished in winning the Na- tional Championship, a third straight Big Ten Championship and a second consecutive Big Ten Tourna- ment title. Michigan State’s three consecutive conference crowns marked only the eighth time in league history that a team has won three straight titles. A champion is also measured by its character. The Spartans displayed their relentless spirit in overcoming many different forms of adversity dur- ing the season. From playing the fi rst 13 games of the season without All-America guard Mateen Cleaves to fi ghting back from signifi cant second-half defi cits in three NCAA Tournament games, Michigan State played with contagious emotion. Finishing the season 32-7, the Spartans capped their champion- ship run with an 89-76 victory over Florida on April 3, 2000, in the RCA Dome in Indianapolis. Michigan State became the fi rst championship team to defeat all six of its NCAA op- ponents by double fi gures since the NCAA Tournament expanded to 64 teams.

Su situación geográfica privilegiada la convierte en un centro de ser- vicios de primer orden tanto en el ámbito catalán como en el español, y en un punto estratégico en la puerta de entrada a Barcelona. Con aproximadamente 260.000 ha- bitantes, es la segunda ciudad catalana en número de habitantes. La ciudad está dividida en 6 distritos admi- nistrativos y 1 de carácter económico. En L’Hospitalet se han encontrado numerosos restos de la estancia de los romanos, a partir del siglo II antes de Cristo, como la Cabeza de Medusa, una pieza de uso fu- nerario el original de la cual se encuentra en el Museo Arqueológico de Barcelona. No es, sin embargo, hasta el siglo X que el término de Provençana (nombre original del municipio) aparece en documentos escritos. En aquella época, los límites del territorio dibujaban una superficie que doblaba la actual. L’Hospitalet fue una villa tradicionalmente agrícola hasta final del siglo XVIII, cuando comenzaron a instalarse en ella las primeras fábricas textiles. A principios del siglo XX, la ciudad experimenta un gran desarrollo industrial y un espectacular crecimiento demográfico. El 15 de diciembre de 1925, el rey Alfonso XIII le otorga el título de ciudad.

  • 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.

By Daniel Roberts , reporter FORTUNE -- What do most professional basketball players do after retiring? "A lot of guys get on the golf course," says Kevin Willis, whose 23 years in the NBA included a 2003 championship with the San Antonio Spurs. "A lot try to get into some type of business venture, but when you don't really have the experience, or you're not knowledgeable, it doesn't go well." That's an understatement. (Ask Scottie Pippen or Latrell Sprewell, both of whom blew their basketball bucks post- retirement.) Yet Willis, 49, a still-muscular 7-footer, made the transition so smoothly it was almost as though the NBA was merely a long, lucrative interlude in the life of his business. In a way, it was.

Eric Snow understands leadership, and it’s why he’s continued to be recognized for possessing that quality even after his NBA career ended following the ‘07-08 season with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Snow elaborated on his concept of leadership by penning his first book — Leading High Performers: The Ultimate Guide to Being a Fast, Fluid and Flexible Leader. In the book, Snow analyzes the leadership characteristics that helped him maintain a successful 13-year NBA career, which included NBA Finals appearances for three teams — the Seattle Supersonics, Philadelphia 76ers and Cavaliers. Now an analyst for NBA TV, Snow wrote this book not only for athletes but for people looking to enhance their opportunities for success in any walk of life. SLAMonline caught up with him at the NBA Store in New York City, where he was signing autographs for Leading High Performers.
