  • Open Andrew Bryant SHC Thesis.Pdf
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS REVISITING THE SUPERSTAR EXTERNALITY: LEBRON’S ‘DECISION’ AND THE EFFECT OF HOME MARKET SIZE ON EXTERNAL VALUE ANDREW DAVID BRYANT SPRING 2013 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Mathematics and Economics with honors in Economics Reviewed and approved* by the following: Edward Coulson Professor of Economics Thesis Supervisor David Shapiro Professor of Economics Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT The movement of superstar players in the National Basketball Association from small- market teams to big-market teams has become a prominent issue. This was evident during the recent lockout, which resulted in new league policies designed to hinder this flow of talent. The most notable example of this superstar migration was LeBron James’ move from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Miami Heat. There has been much discussion about the impact on the two franchises directly involved in this transaction. However, the indirect impact on the other 28 teams in the league has not been discussed much. This paper attempts to examine this impact by analyzing the effect that home market size has on the superstar externality that Hausman & Leonard discovered in their 1997 paper. A road attendance model is constructed for the 2008-09 to 2011-12 seasons to compare LeBron’s “superstar effect” in Cleveland versus his effect in Miami. An increase of almost 15 percent was discovered in the LeBron superstar variable, suggesting that the move to a bigger market positively affected LeBron’s fan appeal.

  • NBA Feature Story
    2018-19 NBA Season Already a Wild One By: Isaac Tomoletz On Tuesday, October 16, 2018, the NBA regular season officially started. Before the season started, there were some big moves by players and teams in this past offseason. Starting with the back-to-back Champions, the Golden State Warriors added a big time player to their already stacked team, Demarcus Cousins, who missed the majority of the season with a torn achilles. Another big shocking move was made by two teams, the Toronto Raptors traded star player Demar Derozan for San Antonio Spurs’ Kawhi Leonard. There were also players such as Jimmy Butler of the Minnesota Timberwolves, who wasn’t happy with his current relationship with his team. So many rumors spread about where he’s going. All of these plus other deals and trades such as Carmelo Anthony signing to the Houston Rockets, one of the biggest deals over the summer was former Cavs forward LeBron James signing to the Los Angeles Lakers have fans wondering about the coming season. All of these changes in teams were months ago, but the NBA season is now underway and we have already seen some interesting things. One of the big talks lately has been about the game played on this past Saturday between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers. During the fourth quarter between the two, a foul occured on Brandon Ingram, a player on the Lakers. After the foul, Ingram pushed Rockets guard, James Harden, which resulted in him getting a technical foul.

  • Phoenix Suns' Eric Bledsoe Requests Trade: Two Potential Trade
    Phoenix Suns’ Eric Bledsoe Requests Trade: Two Potential Trade Partners Author : Andrew Parrish The NBA Twitter-sphere has been ablaze over the weekend due to the recent tweets and reports regarding the status of Eric Bledsoe’s relationship with the Phoenix Suns organization. The Suns, who have had a rocky 0-3 start behind the worst point-differential in the last 10 seasons over the first 3 games of a season, have been the worst team in the NBA, and it’s not really close. Bledsoe, arguably the best two-way player on the Suns, was not happy with how the direction of the franchise was headed, and finally decided to tweet out his frustrations publicly. Considering the relative weakness in Phoenix’s position and ability to negotiate a more fair package to 1 / 3 offload Bledsoe, here are a few potential suitors for Bledsoe’s services, as well as a potential package that each would send to Phoenix. Milwaukee Bucks Receive: Eric Bledsoe Send: John Henson, 2018 first round pick (lottery protected in 2018 and 2019, converts to 2020 and 2021 second-round picks if not conveyed), cash This trade is one of the better packages that the Suns can hope to get out of Bledsoe. John Henson is a serviceable defensive power forward option that can play at both the 4 and the 5, which Phoenix could use in a desperate way. They are allowing a league-worst 58.5 eFG%, as well as a league worst defensive rating of 120.8, which is on pace to be the worst defensive rating in league history, which has been tracked back as far as 1973.
