Playing like one, Affl alo is having quite the year and his play has brought many to believe in his worthiness of a fi rst All-Star appearance. But, the NBA we have all come to un- derstand is not one to commend a great player, on a bad team. Give it up for @nhnets Despite having a career year and ranking among the top shooting guards in practically every sta- #GiveItUpForGood tistical category, Affl alo’s hopes of making his fi rst NBA All-Star team were dashed on Thursday when he was left off the team. Clearly, Orlando’s 12-35 record factored into the decision to pick the likes of DerMar DeRo- zan and Joe Johnson ahead of Orlando’s standout guard.

  • 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. As the situation was being handled, Rajon Rondo of the Lakers and Chris Paul of the Rockets started arguing and then all hell broke loose in the Staples Center in Los Angeles when Rondo threw a punch at Chris Paul and then Ingram hopped in and threw a punch as well.
