Abstract
Basketball is a sport played all over the globe. It connects with people in ways that other sports may not. The only requirements for someone who is interested in participating are a basketball and a hoop. The game may appear to be simple, but basketball is one of the most complex sports in the world. The connection it shares with people is outstanding, but the connection basketball shares with the study of mathematics is very similar, if not, even stronger. From the roots, the creator of basketball only created this game, as he was in desperate need of a new indoor game. Little did he know, his sport would grow to be one of the most played and watched sports in the present day. His creation has grown astronomically, just as the connection it shares with the study of mathematics has.
This project will take a look at this connection, including the geometry and physics behind basketball. Expanding into the world of statistics, this project will take an even deeper look into the world of advanced analytics. The general statistics, expanding into the advanced genre, is what has changed the way coaches can determine which players they would elect to play for them. Positives, negatives, and everything in the middle can be looked at, and reviewed, by coaches to determine the impacts players have on a game. The world of statistics in basketball has grown into something amazing, and this project will reflect that.
