  • 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.

  • Measuring Production and Predicting Outcomes in the National Basketball Association
    Measuring Production and Predicting Outcomes in the National Basketball Association Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Michael Steven Milano, M.S. Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Packianathan Chelladurai, Advisor Brian Turner Sarah Fields Stephen Cosslett Copyright by Michael Steven Milano 2011 Abstract Building on the research of Loeffelholz, Bednar and Bauer (2009), the current study analyzed the relationship between previously compiled team performance measures and the outcome of an “un-played” game. While past studies have relied solely on statistics traditionally found in a box score, this study included scheduling fatigue and team depth. Multiple models were constructed in which the performance statistics of the competing teams were operationalized in different ways. Absolute models consisted of performance measures as unmodified traditional box score statistics. Relative models defined performance measures as a series of ratios, which compared a team‟s statistics to its opponents‟ statistics. Possession models included possessions as an indicator of pace, and offensive rating and defensive rating as composite measures of efficiency. Play models were composed of offensive plays and defensive plays as measures of pace, and offensive points-per-play and defensive points-per-play as indicators of efficiency. Under each of the above general models, additional models were created to include streak variables, which averaged performance measures only over the previous five games, as well as logarithmic variables. Game outcomes were operationalized and analyzed in two distinct manners - score differential and game winner.

  • NCAA Men's Basketball Direction of the Game Update
    MEMORANDUM January 15, 2019 VIA EMAIL To: Men’s Basketball Conference Commissioners, Directors of Athletics, Head Coaches and Registered Officials. From: Tad Boyle, Chair NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee Jeff Hathaway, Chair NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee Jim Delany, Chair NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Competition Committee. SUBJECT: NCAA Men’s Basketball Direction of the Game Update. Following the 2014-15 season, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee and NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee began a review to identify potential rules changes and officiating initiatives to improve the pace of play, better balance offense with defense and reduce the physicality in the sport. The goal of the changes was to keep men’s college basketball competitive, contemporary, fair and moving towards an even more appealing game for student-athletes, coaches and fans. One of the moving forces behind the desire to review the rules and the enforcement of the rules stemmed from the analysis of certain data obtained from men’s basketball games. For instance, NCAA men’s Division I basketball teams averaged 76 points per game during the 1990-91 season. Over the course of the next 25 years, the per game average slowly, but steadily, dropped by nine points to 67 points per game during the 2014-15 season, the lowest since the 1980-81 season. During the same time period, increasingly physical play was permitted evidenced by the lowest fouls per game average and the lowest field goal percentage rates in decades. In an attempt to reverse these alarming trends in our game, the rules committee adopted several changes including: 1.

  • Forecasting Most Valuable Players of the National Basketball Association
    FORECASTING MOST VALUABLE PLAYERS OF THE NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION by Jordan Malik McCorey A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering Management Charlotte 2021 Approved by: _______________________________ Dr. Tao Hong _______________________________ Dr. Linquan Bai _______________________________ Dr. Pu Wang ii ©2021 Jordan Malik McCorey ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT JORDAN MALIK MCCOREY. Forecasting Most Valuable Players of the National Basketball Association. (Under the direction of DR. TAO HONG) This thesis aims at developing models that would accurately forecast the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the National Basketball Association (NBA). R programming language was used in this study to implement different techniques, such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), K- Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Linear Regression Models (LRM). NBA statistics were extracted from all of the past MVP recipients and the top five runner-up MVP candidates from the last ten seasons (2009-2019). The objective is to forecast the Point Total Ratio (PTR) for MVP during the regular season. Seven different underlying models were created and applied to the three techniques in order to produce potential outputs for the 2018-19 season. The best models were then selected and optimized to form the MVP forecasting algorithm, which was validated by predicting the MVP of the 2019-20 season. Ultimately, two underlying models were most robust under the LRM framework, which is considered the champion approach. As a result, two combination models were constructed based on the champion approach and proved to be most efficient.
