  • 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.

  • Ranking the Greatest NBA Players: an Analytics Analysis
    1 Ranking the Greatest NBA Players: An Analytics Analysis An Honors Thesis by Jeremy Mertz Thesis Advisor Dr. Lawrence Judge Ball State University Muncie, Indiana July 2015 Expected Date of Graduation May 2015 1-' ,II L II/du, t,- i II/em' /.. 2 ?t; q ·7t./ 2 (11 S Ranking the Greatest NBA Players: An Analytics Analysis . Iv/If 7 Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to present a statistical model to help rank top National Basketball Association (NBA) players of all time. As the sport of basketball evolves, the debate on who is the greatest player of all-time in the NBA never seems to reach consensus. This ongoing debate can sometimes become emotional and personal, leading to arguments and in extreme cases resulting in violence and subsequent arrest. Creating a statistical model to rank players may also help coaches determine important variables for player development and aid in future approaches to the game via key data-driven performance indicators. However, computing this type of model is extremely difficult due to the many individual player statistics and achievements to consider, as well as the impact of changes to the game over time on individual player performance analysis. This study used linear regression to create an accurate model for the top 150 player rankings. The variables computed included: points per game, rebounds per game, assists per game, win shares per 48 minutes, and number ofNBA championships won. The results revealed that points per game, rebounds per game, assists per game, and NBA championships were all necessary for an accurate model and win shares per 48 minutes were not significant.

  • Integrated Marketing Campaign Case Study: State Farm's "Born to Assist"
    Integrated Marketing Campaign Case Study: State Farm's "Born To Assist" 06.17.2013 The PromaxBDA: The Conference session, "Integrated Marketing, Creative Solutions and What's Next," on Wednesday, June 19, at 4:45 p.m., explores the evolution of how marketers are balancing content, creative and strategy and seamlessly blurring the lines between marketing the channel or program brand, the consumer brand and content. Over the next three days, as we near the session, PromaxBDA presents a series of sports marketing case studies featuring memorable brand integrations from the past year. In our first study, State Farm reveals a secret about NBA all-star Chris Paul: This past December, State Farm revealed a secret about NBA all-star Chris Paul: That on May 6, 1985, Chris and his "twin brother" Cliff were accidentally separated at birth. The campaign, "Born to Assist," from lead agency Translation, New York, has birthed several TV spots, including one where the twins finally meet over coffee, with Chris relating his NBA exploits and Cliff talking about his career as a State Farm agent. State Farm's campaign has also included such elements as Chris "interviewing" Cliff prior to the NBA All-Star Game and a takeover of Staples Center in Los Angeles, home to Chris Paul's Clippers, where fans wore Cliff Paul's glasses and mustache. That activation carried over to post-game TV interviews, when Paul's teammate, Blake Griffin, and Clippers fan Billy Crystal wore the glasses and mustache on-air. Perhaps the most memorable moment of the campaign was a commercial in which Cliff the State Farm agent came to the rescue of TNT's NBA broadcast crew: Kenny Smith, Reggie Miller and Marv Albert. "The numbers we have seen on the Chris-Cliff Paul campaign show that brand awareness is strong," said Tim Van Hoof, assistant VP of marketing communications for State Farm.
