I've been a big NBA fan for most of my life, beginning with the Lakers-Celtics rivalry in the 1980's. I have a lot of fond memories of watching those old games: the NBA on CBS theme music, the slow-motion recap-intros, Tommy Heinsohn on network television, ... good times.
A lot has changed since then (teams, uniforms, rules, salaries, coverage, etc.), but the game is still fun to watch, the players are still entertaining, and the rivalries are still compelling.
I'm not an NBA expert, but I'll be publishing a few kinds of posts here:
- Statistical analysis - extracting interesting nuggets from the wealth of available information
- Charts and graphs - visualizing statistics and other metrics.
- Observations - highlighting interesting stories from around the league
