    NBA Court Realty Dan Cervone (New York University), Luke Bornn (Simon Fraser University), and Kirk Goldsberry (University of Texas) The Court is a Real Estate Market Throughout a basketball possession, teams fight to control valuable court space. For example, - being near the basket or in the corner 3 areas leads to high-value shots - having the ball at the top of the arc keeps many pass options open - being open and undefended anywhere on the court eases ball movement and minimizes turnovers. Using only patterns of ball movement such as passes, we are able to infer which regions of the court teams value most, and quantify the effects of controlling such regions. This leads to new spatial characterizations of team/player strategy, and value quantifications of positioning and spacing. For instance, we can compare the value of the space the ballcarrier controls with the value of the space his teammates control to better understand how different lineups manage on- and off-ball resources.

Valuing property investments based on exchanges: When players pass the ball on offense, the team exchanges property investments. The patterns of these transactions allow us to infer the value of each player's real estate investment porfolio.

  • Tolliver Calls Game-Winning Rebound in Hawks Win Over Bucks
    Tolliver calls game-winning rebound in Hawks win over Bucks By Chris Vivlamore The Atlanta Journal-Constitution MILWAUKEE — Anthony Tolliver called it. Not a game-winning shot but a game-winning rebound. Tolliver’s rebound of a missed free throw by teammate Dahntay Jones with 22.4 seconds remaining preserved the Hawks’ 104-99 come-from-behind victory over the Bucks Sunday afternoon. With a one-point lead, 100-99 after Jones’ first free throw, Tolliver looked at Jeff Teague and told his teammate a missed shot would be all his. “Yeah, I told him right before it happened, ‘I am going to get this rebound,’” Tolliver said. “I just tried to analyze the situation. I knew he has missed a few free throws earlier so I just wanted to be aggressive toward the rebound. I saw an opportunity. They didn’t box me out and I jumped and it came to me.” Tolliver called timeout after gathering the loose ball forcing the Bucks to foul. Al Horford and Teague each made two free throws in the closing seconds for the final margin. The rebound may not have been the biggest play of the game by Tolliver. He set up Jones’ free throws with a steal seconds earlier. With the game tied at 99-99 after the Hawks erased a five- point deficit with 2:45 remaining and a Bradley Center crowd cheering wildly, Tolliver tipped a pass intended for J.J. Redick that Jones gathered before being fouled. “I was face guarding, being up, on J.J. Redick,” Tolliver said.

    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks Honoring the 2016 National Basketball Association Champion Cleveland Cavaliers November 10, 2016 The President. Hello, everybody! Welcome to the White House, and give it up for the World Champion Cleveland Cavaliers! That's right, I said "World Champion" and "Cleveland" in the same sentence. [Laughter] That's what we're talking about when we talk about hope and change. [Laughter] We've got a lot of big Cavs fans here in the house, including Ohio's Governor, John Kasich, and his daughters Emma and Reese. We've got some outstanding Members of Congress that are here. And obviously we want to recognize Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, who put so much of himself into trying to make sure this thing worked. One of the great general managers of the game, David Griffin. And the pride and joy of Mexico, Missouri—[laughter]— Coach Tyronn Lue. I also, before I go any further, want to give a special thanks to J.R. Smith's shirt for showing up. [Laughter] I wasn't sure if it was going to make an appearance today. I'm glad you came. You're a very nice shirt. [Laughter] Now, last season, the Cavs were the favorites in the East all along, but the road was anything but stable. And I'm not even talking about what happened on the court. There were rumors about who was getting along with who, and why somebody wasn't in a picture, and LeBron is tweeting—[laughter]—and this was all big news. But somehow Coach Lue comes in and everything starts getting a little smoother, and they hit their stride in the playoffs.

  • Danilo Gallinari Scores 33 Points to Top Derrick Rose's 30 and Nine Boards, As Denver Wins It, 115-110. 3 -- Games in Which
    Danilo Gallinari scores 33 points to top Derrick Rose's 30 and nine boards, as Denver wins it, 115-110. 3 -- Games in which the Spurs have trailed at home in the fourth quarter this season, the third coming, quite surprisingly, at the hands of the Lakers Saturday night -- though San Antonio pulled away late for its 37th straight regular season win at AT&T Center. 1,736 -- Career steals for Clippers teammates Chris Paul and Paul Pierce , tied for 18th on the NBA's all- time list, 23 behind 17th place Shawn Marion. I'M FEELIN' ... 1) Good . 2) Terrific (and, long) Q and A with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar by George Mason University economics professor Tyler Cowen . (This has Kareem's "one trick pony" quote about Dirk Nowitzki . I think there's context here that shows the comment wasn't as bad as it seems, but judge for yourself.) 3) We're two months from the playoffs, but it's already looking like another episode of Clippers-Grizz in the first round could be in the offing. Seven games of nasty. Sign me up! 4) Now, this is the way you announce where you're going to college! 5) Congrats to Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos, but especially Manning, whom I hope will ride off into the sunset after a second Super Bowl title. But, it's his life and career. He can do what he wants. (Though I hope he retires.) NOT FEELIN' ... 1) No surprise that Jeff Hornacek was fired in Phoenix last week, given the team's dreadful performances through much of the first half of the season, but everyone owns this, starting with Robert Sarver and GM Ryan McDonough.
