  • 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.

  • Basketball Hall of Fame Names Twenty Point Guards to Watch List for 2021 Bob Cousy Award
    Basketball Hall of Fame Names Twenty Point Guards to Watch List for 2021 Bob Cousy Award Starting Five Fan Voting Presented by Dell Technologies to go Live on Friday, November 6 Springfield, Mass. (Nov. 2, 2020) — The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced today the 20 watch list candidates for the 2021 Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Award. Named after Class of 1971 Hall of Famer and former Boston Celtic and Holy Cross guard Bob Cousy, the annual honor now in its eighteenth year recognizes the top point guards in Division I men’s college basketball. A national committee of top college basketball personnel determined the watch list of 20 candidates. “Since 2004, the Hall of Fame has had the honor of bestowing the Bob Cousy Award on the best point guards in the collegiate game,” said John L. Doleva, President and CEO of the Basketball Hall of Fame. “The list is comprised of many outstanding student-athletes and we know the fans are very excited to see them take the floor. Starting Five Fan Voting presented by Dell Technologies will allow fans to support their favorite players throughout the season and eventually play a part in helping us to select our winner. We greatly appreciate the support of Dell Technologies, the fans, our selection committee and the namesake of the award, Mr. Bob Cousy.” Bob Cousy played for Holy Cross from 1946-1950 winning an NCAA Championship in 1947. He was named a Consensus First-Team All-American in 1950. His success continued at the professional level as a six-time NBA Champion (1957, 1959-1963), NBA Most Valuable Player (1957) and 13-time NBA All-Star (1951-63).

  • Publication: Nba.Com Date: 2/18/14
    PUBLICATION: NBA.COM DATE: 2/18/14 The Lenny Way By Jon Cooper No one had to tell Lenny Wilkens that it’s better to give than to receive. For Wilkens, giving always came first, whether it was in his basketball career that spanned close to 50 years, or through his foundation, which has been in existence for more than 40. In 15 seasons as a point guard, the 76-year-old Brooklyn, N.Y., native, was one of the game’s premiere distributors — a nine-time All-Star and 1971 All-Star Game MVP with the St. Louis Hawks, Seattle Super Sonics and Cleveland Cavaliers. His 7,211 assists rank 12th in NBA history. In his 32 years as a head coach, his teams won 1,332 games, second-most ever, and he brought the 1979 NBA Championship to Seattle, an accomplishment for which its citizens still thank him. Wilkens, one of three men to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player and a coach — joining John Wooden and Bill Sharman — has become as revered for the work he’s put in on behalf of children through the Lenny Wilkens Foundation. The Hawks organization and fans in Atlanta are showing their gratitude by honoring him on Feb. 22 as part of the Hawks Heritage Night, a yearly fixture celebrating the history of the franchise. “I certainly I feel honored,” Wilkens said. “I spent a part of my career there, certainly it was a good time. The team made progress. We had good fans.” “He should be honored,” said Hall of Famer and current Hawks broadcaster Dominique Wilkins.
