This is at least two books in one: 1.Prophecies Proved Prescient
for the NBA That the Boston Celtics would draft Al Jefferson at #15
in the 2004 draft (predicted a month ahead of time) That the Boston
Celtics would win the championship in 2008 (predicted four years
early) Who would be a star and who would be a bust today (predicted
after the 2004 draft) 2.Telling the NBA's Fortune How to eliminate
the clock-stopping, foul-shooting boredom at the end of close games
How the NBA can increase its revenue and make its fans happier at
the same time How to make basketball timeless and monetize the
league's growing archival footage Why reintroducing barnstorming
teams would contribute to the league's global growth How to make
the first three quarters of a game even more exciting And much
more, including novel methods of statistical analysis inspired by
financial derivatives valuation methods, the flaws and the
strengths of the collective bargaining agreement, sports hedge
funds, what Bill Russell and Kendrick Perkins have in common, and
more. Maybe it is a way to experience the present from the
perspective of the past. Or maybe it is the first step in viewing
basketball as a religious experience. These articles originally
appeared in 2004-2005 on hoopsworld.com.
