The NBA SportVU dataset contains player and ball trajectories for 631 games from the 2015-2016 NBA season. The raw tracking data is in the JSON format, and each moment includes information about the identities of the players on the court, the identities of the teams, the period, the game clock, and the shot clock.

The National Basketball Association has one of the highest percentages of African American players from the big four professional sports leagues in North America. In 2023, approximately 70.4 percent of NBA players were African American. Meanwhile, ethnically white players constituted a 17.5 percent share of all NBA players that year. After the WNBA and NBA, the National Football League had the largest share of African Americans in a professional sports league in North America.

How do other roles in the NBA compare?

When it comes to African American representation in the NBA, no other role in the NBA is as well represented by African Americans as players. Meanwhile, on the opposite end of the scale, less than five percent of team governors in the NBA were African American in 2023. During the 2022/23 season, the role with the second-highest share of African Americans was head coach, with a share of 50 percent. That season, the number of African American head coaches in the NBA exceeded the number of white head coaches for the first time.

African Americans in the NFL

In 2022, the greatest share of players by ethnicity in the NFL were African American, with more than half of all NFL players falling within this group. The representation of African Americans in American Football extended beyond the playing field, with 36.3 percent of NFL assistant coaches being African American in 2022 as well. However, positions such as vice presidents and head coaches were less representative of the African American population, as less than 10 percent of the individuals fulfilling these roles in 2022 were African American.

The database contains several datasets and files with NBA statistical data spanning four seasons (2015-2016 to 2018-2019). These datasets were procured from the Basketball Reference database (https://www.basketball-reference.com/), a publicly accessible source of NBA data.

The main file, dat.cleaned.csv, includes the Win/Loss records for all thirty NBA teams, along with box scores and advanced statistics. The data captured over the four seasons correspond to about 4,920 regular-season games. A distinguishing feature of this dataset is the repeated measurements per player within a team across the seasons. However, it's important to note that these repeated measurements are not independent, necessitating the use of hierarchical modelling to properly handle the data.

Two sets of additional text files (per_2017.txt, per_2018.txt, rpm_2017.txt, rpm_2018.txt) provide specific metrics for player performance. The 'PER' files contain the Athlete Efficiency Rating (PER) for the years 2017 and 2018. The 'RPM' files contain the ESPN-developed score called Real Plus-Minus (RPM) for the same years.

However, potential biases or limitations within the datasets should be acknowledged. For instance, the Basketball Reference website might not include data from some matches or may exclude certain variables, potentially affecting the quality and accuracy of the dataset.

This paper examines the impact of lagged performance on free agent contracts for players in the National Basketball Association. The main approach of the paper is twofold. The first piece investigates how past performance affects future performance in the two seasons after contract year and compares it to the impact previous performance has on contract terms for free agent players. The second piece investigates the rationality of free agent contracts in their entirety by comparing the impact of lagged performance on total accumulated production and total dollar value paid. The goal is to determine if performance prior to contract year is underweighted in contract decision-making relative to its predictive power of future performance. There is evidence that performance in years prior to contract year is overlooked in contract determination decisions by NBA general managers, and there is mild evidence that performance data two years prior to contract year are underweighted given their predictive power of future performance.

An average of 1.56 million viewers tuned in to watch NBA regular season games across ABC, ESPN and TNT in the 2023/24 season. This marked a very slight decline in the number of viewers from the previous season.

Initial hypothesis:

Dispense with the medium distance shot can give more points, and therefore more games to a team?

In the 2023/24 season, total attendance at National Basketball Association (NBA) regular season games rose to 22.52 million. This was an all-time high for the United States' pre-eminent basketball league. The league-wide average per game attendance in the NBA for the 2023/24 season was also at a record high, exceeding 18 thousand.

During the 2023/24 season, the 30 franchises comprising the National Basketball Association (NBA) recorded a total revenue amounting to 11.34 billion U.S. dollars. This was an increase of over 700 million dollars from the previous year. What are the NBA's main sources of revenue? Among the NBA's main sources of income are broadcasting deals, sponsorships, and gate receipts. In particular, the NBA's sponsorship revenue has consistently exceeded one billion U.S. dollars since the 2017/18 season. One of the league's main sponsors since then has been Nike, which is the league's official outfitter. Meanwhile, the share of overall revenue from gate receipts in the NBA was 21.57 percent in 2023/24. Which NBA team generates the most revenue? With a revenue of 800 million U.S. dollars, the Golden State Warriors were the NBA team with the highest revenue in the 2023/24 season. Between 2015 and 2023, the Warriors were a dominant force in the NBA, appearing in six of eight finals and winning four championships, ending their trophy drought stretching back to 1975. However, the Warriors still have some way to go to match the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers as the NBA teams with the most championships, with the Celtics winning a record 18th championship title in 2024.

We examine whether social data can be used to predict how members of Major League Baseball (MLB) and members of the National Basketball Association (NBA) transition between teams during their career. We find that incorporating social data into various machine learning algorithms substantially improves the algorithms' ability to correctly determine these transitions in the NBA but only marginally in MLB. We also measure the extent to which player performance and team fitness data can be used to predict transitions between teams. This data, however, only slightly improves our predictions for players for both basketball and baseball players. We also consider whether social, performance, and team fitness data can be used to infer past transitions. Here we find that social data significantly improves our inference accuracy in both the NBA and MLB but player performance and team fitness data again does little to improve this score.

In the 2023/24 season, the Golden State Warriors generated the most revenue from the National Basketball Association franchises. Specifically, the Golden State Warriors generated 800 million U.S. dollars in revenue by the end of the season.
