I love this stuff, ever since watching Moneyball and discovering the system Oakland Athletic used to bring success to their club, I’ve been interested in sports stats ever since. Basketball is a game that moves so quickly on the eye but beneath the exterior there is a myriad of statistics and analytics that probably go a miss to the casual fan.

If you’re serious about becoming a statistician in you’re professional work, or just enjoy this stuff for fun then I fully recommend this book as there is a ton of transferrable knowledge to be learned.

A Methodical, Crafted approach to the game of basketball
