Statistical Resources

What follows is a shortened list of statistical resources that can be useful in analyzing basketball the way I do. A more thorough list of resources, some of which are very specific and some of which are pretty general, is given here.

NBA Statistics

• My '96 Numbers
• www.nba.com. The NBA's official location. They like advertising it; I guess I'll help.
• ESPNET NBA has good information, including daily boxes, but the premium pages (costing a few bucks a month) have a lot more than the public pages. (Gee, another advertisement for someone else's commercial site! You'd think they were paying me.)
• CBS SportsLine gave me a shirt, but they have a pretty good site anyway.
• Doug Steele has some of the best NBA stats freely available, though they aren't official.

Women's Pro Basketball Statistics

• My WNBA '97 Stats include all normal statistics and my analytical tools for the WNBA inaugural season, including ranking of offensive and defensive players.

Men's College Basketball Statistics

• ESPNET College Basketball has daily boxscores, but no large scale databases. It's not their job.
• Jazzy J has a good database of college stats for individuals and teams from major conferences. It's not his job either, but he does it.... Recently, it became Jazzy's job to do this because he is now at The Mining Co.'s College Basketball Page.

Women's College Basketball Statistics

• ESPNET Women's College Basketball has daily boxscores, but no large scale databases. But at least they have something.

Other Basketball Statistics

Infodesporto is Portugal's sports site. I don't read Portuguese, but this site is still useful for doing analysis of overseas leagues. Overall, the site is very good-looking and well-conceived.
