5th Annual MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference

Sloan Sports Panel

If you were presently unaware, the MIT Sloan Sports Conference just wrapped up this weekend. Truehoop has particularly good coverage of the event, including this gem about Tracy McGrady:

“Tracy McGrady was 1,000 hours of practice,” Van Gundy said. “He should be a Hall of Fame player. His talent was other-worldly. He was given a great leg up in the race against other players. He’s as close as I’ve ever seen to someone with a perfect body and a good mind.”

Oh, another good article on: Dynamic Efficiency, the Nash Equilibrium, & Kobe as an undershooter.
