    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Julie Mason (412-496-3196) GATORADE® NATIONAL BOYS BASKETBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR: BRANDON KNIGHT Former Miami Heat Center and Gatorade Boys Basketball Player of the Year Alonzo Mourning Surprises Standout with Elite Honor FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (March 23, 2010) – In its 25th year of honoring the nation’s best high school athletes, The Gatorade Company, in collaboration with ESPN RISE, today announced Brandon Knight of Pine Crest School (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) as its 2009-10 Gatorade National Boys Basketball Player of the Year. Knight was surprised with the news during his second period class at Pine Crest School by former Miami Heat Center Alonzo Mourning, who earned Gatorade National Boys Basketball Player of the Year honors in 1987-88. “When I received this award in 1988, it was a really significant moment for me, so it felt great to surprise Brandon with the news and invite him into one of the most prestigious legacy programs in high school sports,” said Mourning, a Gold Medalist, seven-time NBA All-Star, and two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year. “Gatorade has been on the sidelines fueling athletic performance for years, so to be recognized by a brand that understands the game and truly helps athletes perform is a huge honor for these kids.” Knight becomes the first-ever student athlete from the state of Florida to repeat as Gatorade National Player of the Year in any sport. He joins 2009 NBA MVP LeBron James (2002-03 & 2001-02, St. Vincent-St. Mary, Akron, Ohio) and 2007 NBA Draft Number One Overall Pick Greg Oden (2005-06 & 2004-05, Lawrence North, Indianapolis, Ind.) as the only student-athletes to win Gatorade National Boys Basketball Player of the Year honors in consecutive seasons.

  • 20Questions for DJ White
    20questions Interview by Jeremy Shere Photography by Ben Weller & Paul Riley for D.J. White 64 Bloom | June/July 2008 Taking His Place in Hoosier History IU men’s basketball has had its share of great big men— Kent Benson, Alan Hender- son, Jared Jeffries, and many more. Now, after his stellar senior year, we can offi cially add D.J. White to that list. Throughout a tumultuous season, White was a rock in the middle. His steady and often spectacular play an- chored the Hoosiers, leading the team to a 25-8 record and a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Averaging 17.4 points and 10.3 rebounds per game, White was voted Big Ten Player of the Year, named fi rst team All-Big Ten, voted second-team All Amer- ican, and has now emerged as a top NBA prospect. (left) One perfect moment in the IU career of D.J. White. Photo by Paul Riley (above) Photo by Ben Weller June/July 2008 | Bloom 65 Of Eric Gordon (right), White says, “We’re going to have a lifelong friend- ship.” Photo by Paul Riley But anyone who followed IU basketball WHITE: No, it’s not scary. I’m over the fact that over the past four years knows that White’s “Hey, I’m standing next to such-and-such.” But, importance went beyond statistics and awards. it’s an honor, I think, to play with those guys, At a time when many of the best college especially Kevin Garnett and Shaquille O’Neal. players leave for the pros after one or two years, Standing next to them, that’d be an honor.

  • Bayesian Analysis of Dyadic Data Arising in Basketball
    BAYESIAN ANALYSIS OF DYADIC DATA ARISING IN BASKETBALL by Xin Lucy Liu B.Sc., Shenyang University, 1996 a project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science c Xin Lucy Liu SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2007 All rights reserved. This work may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. APPROVAL Name: Xin Lucy Liu Degree: Master of Science Title of project: Bayesian Analysis of Dyadic Data Arising in Basketball Examining Committee: Dr. Richard Lockhart Chair Dr. Tim Swartz Senior Supervisor Simon Fraser University Dr. Paramjit Gill Co-Supervisor Simon Fraser University Dr. Tom Loughin External Examiner Date Approved: ii Abstract The goal of this project is to use statistical methods to identify players and combinations of players which affect a basketball team’s performance. The traditional statistics which are recorded tell us only about the contribution of individual players (eg. points scored, rebounds, etc). However, there are subtle aspects of play such as defensive help, setting screens and verbal communication that are known to be important but are not routinely recorded. The model we propose is based on the Bayesian social relations model. The results help us identify aspects of player performance. Data from the NBA 2004 and NBA 2005 finals are used throughout the project to illustrate our approach. Keywords: Bayesian social relations model, Dyadic data, WinBUGS iii Dedication In memory of my father, Zhong-Xuan Liu (1946-1994) iv Acknowledgements I would like to thank the people who have helped me go through this difficult, challenging yet exciting time of my life.
