Understandable Guide
My son is all about basketball and I have no idea what’s what.
I want to be able to connect with my son through things he loves, so I reached out to books to learn about his passion.
After listening to this great book on the differences between stats and analytics I feel confident I can hold a conversation with him about his favorite players and teams!
I can whole heartedly recommend this book.

Great for fantasy learning
I've gotten into fantasy leagues with friends but I'm not very sports literate. This has been helpful as I sort through players trying to build a team and understand why some players are better than others.

A Methodical, Crafted approach to the game of basketball
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.
