The ultimate decision maker for the NBA is the Commissioner, Adam Silver, whose job is to represent the interests of the league and more specifically the team owners, while the ultimate decision maker for the players at the bargaining table is the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA), currently led by Michele Roberts. In the current system of negotiations, the NBA and the NBPA meet to negotiate and make changes to their collective bargaining agreement as it comes close to expiration. This paper will examine the 1976 ABA- NBA merger, and the resulting impact that the joining of these two leagues has had. This paper will utilize language from the current collective bargaining agreement, as well as language from previous iterations agreed upon by both the NBA and NBPA, as well information from other professional sports leagues agreements and accounts from relevant parties involved.

  • How Did Being a Lifelong Knicks Fan Help –Or Hinder—Writing WHEN the GARDEN WAS EDEN?
    Q&A with Harvey Araton, author of When the Garden Was Eden: Clyde, the Captain, Dollar Bill, and the Glory Days of the New York Knicks How did being a lifelong Knicks fan help –or hinder—writing WHEN THE GARDEN WAS EDEN? I tried to approach writing the book with two different perspectives and voices. The first was as a reporter delving into the era of the Old Knicks and, once there, becoming reacquainted with a younger version of myself as a fan. The challenge was in striking an appropriate balance so that the book would be presented as a work of honest sports journalism but with the appropriate level of homage. These players were, after all, heroes of my adolescence and early adulthood. I believe a perfect example of the right mix is in the chapter that explores a confrontation between Willis Reed and Cazzie Russell, provoked by a racial profiling of Russell that led to him calling Reed an Uncle Tom. While the story is reported objectively and in context with the racial pressures of the time, the sub-text clearly portrays Reed as a man of unusual character and leadership skills. In my mind, he was always that, but one-dimensionally, seen through the prism of performance. I was grateful that my reporting upheld my boyhood views but it also gave me greater insight into Willis Reed the man. What was it like interviewing the players you once rooted for? In most cases, especially with the principal characters and some of the opponents, I had established relationships based on my newspaper career.

  • 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.

I join with all of Bill Hosket, Nate Bowman, John Warren Metro New York, and especially all Long and Coach Red Holzman. What makes this victory so memorable Islanders, in celebrating that dramatic is not simply that the Knicks won the victory, a victory that still carries lessons championship, but that they won it through exceptionally unselfish play and team for us 50 years later. chemistry. In so doing they became one of the most admired and beloved teams in New York and NBA basketball history. There is often a misperception that New Yorkers prize individual achievement and care little for team play. That belief was challenged in the days and months after 9/11 when New York showed the world what team play was. And it has also been long challenged by the esteem that the 1970 team is held in by New Yorkers. Today, the memory of their play connects BISHOP JOHN O.
