Walker played his greatest game of the season in scoring 34 points, including 11 in the final quarter, as the Tigers overcame an eight- point deficit with seven minutes to play. Senior shooting guard Duane Dunbar’s basket with 1:13 remaining pushed the Tigers into the lead for good, 68-67, while senior Ron Lange, who finished with 16, added a pair of insurance free throws for the final margin. Walker and Lange scored 17 apiece, while junior Mickey Yarbrough added 15 as the Tigers topped Inkster, 62-52, in their Quarterfinal. Across the bracket, DeBusschere again lit up the scoreboard with 31 points in a 65-48 win over a formi- dable squad from Highland Park. The Tigers posted a final-round record for total points scored with an 81-58 rout of Flint Central in the Semifinal.

  • 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.

In so doing they became one of the most admired and beloved teams in New York and NBA basketball history. There is often a misperception that New Yorkers prize individual achievement and care little for team play. That belief was challenged in the days and months after 9/11 when New York showed the world what team play was. And it has also been long challenged by the esteem that the 1970 team is held in by New Yorkers. Today, the memory of their play connects BISHOP JOHN O.

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.

  • 2019 - with the Completion of the 2018-19 Prep Basketball Season, the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan Proudly Wraps up Their Decade-Long “Retro” Mr
    100 YEARS OF MR. BASKETBALL BCAM Announces 10th and Final Round of “Retro” Mr. Basketball Winners. EAST LANSING, MI, April 1, 2019 - With the completion of the 2018-19 prep basketball season, the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan proudly wraps up their decade-long “Retro” Mr. Basketball project with the announcement of their final six honorees. Over the course of ten seasons, the project has examined the high school court careers of hundreds of the state’s finest. The list of 61 honorees, when combined with the winners of the current ‘Mr. Basketball’ award, first presented following the 1980-81 prep season, totals 100. A contiguous list of Michigan’s ‘Best of the Best’ now dates back to 1920. Noting the amazing pool of talented basketball players produced by the state over the years, past Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan Executive Director Tom Hursey and Michigan High School Athletic Association historian Ron Pesch hatched a plan to replicate the ‘Mr. Basketball’ concept, and apply it to the past. The goal was to name the top high school senior ballplayer for each of the 61 years between 1920 and 1980. To do so, Pesch hit the archives, examined the data, gathered names and assembled biographies, then provided a ballot. BCAM assembled a committee representing all parts of Michigan to examine the information, narrow the field to the best-of-the-best, and then vote for a winner. “All along, the idea was to focus solely on the high school playing careers of these individuals, just like the current award,” said Hursey.
