Howstat working out for you?

Loading ...I love Michael Lewis. You’ve likely read Moneyball–people credit James, Beane with developing new statistical approaches, but guess who wrote the book that made it a common concept?
At any rate, there has been a little discussion recently concerning the use of statistics in ultimate, and a comparison with basketball’s newer stats has been made. It’s not the scores made, assists, blocks that define a player’s value, but something beyond that.
Lewis swoops in again to shed some light. Read this article with a mind for ultimate–how are you selfish? How are you part of the system? How do you help your teammates get better?

So I assume you have read The Blindside? As much as I love baseball, I thought The Blindside was a much better book from a writing standpoint – weaving the details of the game with the details of the man. So it is interesting to see him now delve into basketball in this article.
I have to confess that I haven’t–like you, I love baseball, and my interest in sports reading actually tends to stop there (when we get out to novel length; ESPN.com is one of my daily reading sites).
I’ll add it to my reading list for the near future; been needing some new stuff. Thanks!
