In early 2002, George William Jas's book "Win Shares" caused quite a stir in baseball circles.
Win Shares is the na of the tric he developed in the book, using detailed data to prove a baseball player's contribution.
In Major League Baseball, MVP data visualization has been widely recognized by sports dia!
An ESPN columnist even considered the book groundbreaking, and even thought the theory could be applied to other sports.
New ideas are naturally a business opportunity, just as data expert Hollinger gained industry renown through PER.
Creating a new data tric will undoubtedly bring huge benefits.
Unlike the old guard of sports comntators, the new generation of comntators and scouts place more emphasis on data.
Everyone hopes to evaluate players through large data samples, which has created a lot of demand.
The sa goes for the new generation of fans: how to evaluate a player, besides honors, data is the best way.
In this situation, ESPN's recent programs have begun to strengthen data popularization, but currently it is limited to the baseball field.
Basketball still lacks so reasonable data models, and everyone is working hard, waiting to make a splash!
On July 3rd, Lee started dealing with sponsor event arrangents early in the morning, confirming his schedule for the week.
His agent, Mark Bartelstein, also stopped bickering with the Washington Wizards.
Unless Michael Jordan retired imdiately, his top pick would never have a chance to shine.
Lee looked at the filtered emails at his ho in Manhattan and noticed an invitation from Sean Forman, a mathematics professor at St. John's University.
After reading it carefully, he asked curiously:
"Baseball Reference? He founded this website. I didn't expect this math professor to be such a big baseball fan."
Mark Bartelstein didn't gain much from this year's draft.
Ever since he signed Kwa Brown, troubleso issues have consud a lot of his energy.
Hearing Lee's words, he regained his spirits.
Mark Bartelstein flipped through his notebook and then introduced:
"This mathematics professor probably wants to expand his business and extend the data field to basketball."
"He wants to talk to you about basketball data and also raise so investnt. He probably isn't limited to baseball and basketball. He also wants to get involved in more sports."
Lee nodded, always feeling that the website na was sowhat familiar.
Being able to survive after the dot-com bubble, the other party's data website should have a good number of users.
Realizing that the other party was a data expert, Lee felt that his future "customized data" should be settled.
Basketball superstars must dominate in Excel!
The 2002 FIBA World Championship was held in Indianapolis.
This was essentially the Pacers' ho court, and Reggie Miller had confird he would participate in the United States Team to give back to the fans.
USA Basketball had sent Lee several invitations, and Mark Bartelstein couldn't help but ask for his opinion again:
"Lee, are you sure you're not participating in this year's World Championship? If you agree, you don't have to join the training camp imdiately. The coaching staff will allow you to practice with the team in August."
Lee was still browsing interesting email information, and at this mont, he answered without lifting his head:
"No, I'm not interested in playing international gas. I've even reduced my offseason training plan."
"I've been worn out these past few years, and I want to get so good rest. Besides, the sponsors didn't include these clauses, and Arcia has no shortage of guards."
Seeing that the big client was not interested in international gas, Mark Bartelstein stopped ntioning it.
This US Team was lackluster, mainly because the compensation was too low.
On Friday, July 4th, Independence Day was celebrated, and Manhattan beca lively.
After checking emails and making calls yesterday, bad news arrived early this morning.
In the morning, Kevin Plank, the founder of Under Armour, seed a bit awkward when he ca to Lee.
In recent years, the brand has developed rapidly, and after going public, it has flourished in both football and basketball compression wear.
With the boost from advertising, the company's market value naturally also rose.
Yesterday, Lee rely reminded him that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission would soon require CEOs and CFOs of listed companies to provide written certification of their financial reports.
This news startled Plank, who then flew to Manhattan that morning.
Independence Day happened to be a holiday, and Kim was also at ho.
Clay Lee's information, of course, ca from her.
After the financial fraud scandal broke out, the South District Federal Prosecutor's Office began a "crackdown" on financial criminals.
Whether it was to give an explanation to the public or to appease the big shots, the goal was to restore credibility, give investors confidence, and warm up the market.
Her blonde hair was tied into a ponytail, with the ends playfully curled.
Even at ho, Kim wore a blue shirt and a hip-hugging skirt, dressed professionally.
After pouring coffee for the two of them, Kim began to explain the sudden situation:
"There's still ti. The certification can be delayed until mid-August at the latest, a month and a half. If there are any issues, they should be resolved."
The news had not yet been announced, but this certification action was certainly serious.
Kevin Plank maintained his good physique and was dressed as a successful man today, but upon hearing the exact ti, he subconsciously unbuttoned his shirt and couldn't help but say in a muffled voice:
"Will the committee really scrutinize the information? I an, we've only been listed for a year, and our market capitalization isn't high. Will they target us?"
Financial fraud is common among listed companies, and Under Armour has been on a strong upward trend in the past two years, so the financial information it has released is indeed inflated.
Lee watched him purse his lips, knowing there must be sothing fishy about the company's financial information:
"Unfortunately, there's a high probability soone will specifically audit us, and this is also related to my advertisent."
After saying this, Lee also felt a bit helpless.
Under Armour was unlucky to be caught in the crossfire, but fortunately, there was ample ti, and this ti, it would likely benefit the accounting firm.
Plank sighed.
Fortunately, there was still ti.
After asking for detailed information, he finally promised:
"Don't worry, Lee! I can handle these issues. Kimberly, thank you for the reminder."
Watching the founder leave in a hurry, linda, holding pastries, pouted:
"They've only been listed for just over a year and they're already playing these financial tricks. This guy is very ambitious, but I wonder if more trouble will arise in the future."
Lee understood such behavior. It wasn't just Under Armour.
The services provided by well-known accounting firms were too tempting.
Everyone collaborating to fleece the public had beco the norm.
"It's all about making money, so it's nothing. In the future, we'll also invest in so startup companies, and this will be accumulating experience."
Hearing Lee's words, linda wrinkled her nose.
She had participated in so projects at Skadden, Arps, Slate, agher & Flom LLP, but she personally disliked the act of fraud.
"At the end of the month, we'll attend a yacht party together. There will be people from so fund companies and investnt banks there."
"We still have opportunities to make big money. That's when true financial freedom happens, and then we'll start our own company."
Lee sat between the two.
Halfway through his sentence, linda, who was eating pastries, suddenly asked:
"Is it an orgy?"
Kim, beside them, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Lee looked at linda, who was innocently blinking her big eyes, and angrily pulled her into his arms, giving her a hard slap on the bottom:
"A damned orgy! We're going to talk business and make friends!"
...
At the end of this season, many team coaching staffs underwent changes.
Tom Thibodeau did not receive a contract from the team, which ant his interim coach position had co to an end, and also that the team had no plans to make him permanent.
New York sports dia, besides hyping Lee's superhuman stats and playoff records, also didn't forget to gossip, as everyone wanted to know who the team's next Head Coach would be.
Jas Dolan originally wanted to use this opportunity to hold a hiring fair, but he was quickly dissuaded by managent.
If he really went with "You're fired!
