    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. Above: Map of NBA court real estate values during 2014-15 season. Just like New York City (right), property values vary Read the full paper: dramatically by neighborhood. The hoop is the Tribeca of the NBA. 30 feet away? That's more like Astoria. The Value of a Player's Court Real Estate Investment Portfolio 3. 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. For instance, in the figure on the left, if a pass between players A and B is equally likely to go A → B as B → A, we'd think A's and B's investment 1.

Salary Dispersion and Team Performance in the National Basketball Association By Robert Pierce A Thesis Submitted to Department of Economics Skidmore College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the B.A Degree Thesis Advisor: Monica Das Name: Robert Pierce Signature: Robert Pierce Abstract This paper explores the relationship between salary dispersion in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and team performance. Team performance will be measured by regular season win totals as well as playoff performance. I hypothesize that teams with higher salary dispersion typically perform better because of superstars in the NBA. Superstars are more effective in basketball than in any other sport because of rules inherent to the game. They also create high salary dispersions on their respective teams, and being superstars, they contribute largely to team success. This study will encompass all 30 NBA teams over the past 20 NBA seasons, 1995-96 to 2015-16.

  • Facts About Russia and Its People
    Facts about Russia and Its People Name: conventional long form: Russian Federation conventional short form: Russia local long form: Rossiyskaya Federatsiya local short form: Rossiya former names: Russian Empire, Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic Population: 138,739,892 (July 2011 est.) Population Comparison to the World: ranked number 9 Form of Government: Federation Capital City: Moscow Official language: Russian Currency: Russian ruble Interesting Country Facts: Russia is the largest country in the world in terms of area, covering almost twice as much area of the next-largest country, Canada. In fact, part of Russia is in Asia and part of it is in Europe. The country also has nine time zones. It is approximately 1.8 times larger than the U.S. Despite its size, much of the country lacks proper soils and climates (either too cold or too dry) for agriculture. Mount El'brus, located in Russia, is Europe's tallest peak.* Long ago, two missionaries, Cyril and Methodius, took Christianity to the Slavic people who settled Russia. These people didn’t have a written language, so these early missionaries created an alphabet for them. It was named for Cyril and the Russian language is based on this Cyrillian alphabet. Russia Religion 1 Russian Orthodox 15-20%, Muslim 10-15%, other Christian 2% (2006 estimate). Note: estimates are of practicing worshipers; Russia has large populations of non- practicing believers and non-believers, a legacy of over seven decades of Soviet rule. Sports 2 Among the most popular sports in Russia are soccer and ice hockey. Basketball is also popular.

  • A Descriptive Model for NBA Player Ratings Using Shot-Specific-Distance Expected Value Points Per Possession
    A Descriptive Model for NBA Player Ratings Using Shot-Specific-Distance Expected Value Points per Possession Chris Pickard MCS 100 June 5, 2016 Abstract This paper develops a player evaluation framework that measures the expected points per possession by shot distance for a given player while on the court as either an offensive or defensive adversary. This is done by modeling a basketball possession as a binary progression of events with known expected point values for each event progression. For a given player, the expected points contributed are determined by the skills of his teammates, opponents and the likelihood a particular event occurs while he is on the court. This framework assesses the impact a player has on his team in terms of total possession and shot-specific-distance offensive and defensive expected points contributed per possession. By refining the model by shot-specific-distance events, the relative strengths and weaknesses of a player can be determined to better understand where he maximizes or minimizes his team’s success. In addition, the model’s framework can be used to estimate the number of wins contributed by a player above a replacement level player. This can be used to estimate a player’s impact on winning games and indicate if his on-court value is reflected by his market value. 1 Introduction In any sport, evaluating the performance impact of a given player towards his or her team’s chance of winning begins by identifying key performance indicators [KPIs] of winning games. The identification of KPIs begins by observing the flow and subsequent interactions that define a game.
