Winning Links: Everything and Nothing
The internet is a great place. It seems like new amazing sites pop up all the time. Sometimes I don’t even realize it! I wanted to make sure to share a great site that has been using the Wins Produced data is Josh Weil’s Everything and Nothing blog. I’ve been meaning to link this for a bit and while I’ve been meaning to link him, he’s kept producing great content. Here’s a brief rundown (Some preferential ordering applied…)
Wins Produced and Games Outcome - Post that got me looking. Turns out that Wins Produced lines up with how the games turn out — which is of course the model it’s built on.
The Heat Histogram - AWESOME post. That LeBron guy? He only had one below average game last season.
A Tale of Four Players - Kobe, Iggy, Melo and LeBron. Fun point, barring Bron’s rookie year, his worst has trumped Kobe’s best.
Players aren’t consistent game to game - Season to season they are. However, all players have ups and downs game to game. Starring Thabo Sefolosha.
Kobe vs. Wade? I called Kobe an all-time great even over Wade. Josh disagreed. I fully approve this post!
The End of Games - Josh gives some thoughts on why clutch shots and the end of game stick out.
The Bayesian of Wins - A call to arms! Be warned, there’s a test.
That’s tons of great content that I hope you enjoy. Josh has also given great input in the comments and on Twitter. Thanks again!
