TriviaThere’s only one athlete to hit an MLB home run and score an NFL
touchdown in the same week. He’s the same athlete who is the only person ever to play in both the World Series and the Super Bowl.
Who is this athlete?
Deion Sanders (Atlanta Braves, San Francisco 49ers, and Dallas Cowboys)

The Questions• How much of a team’s win percentage is attributable to their payroll?
• Do higher spenders perform better than lower spenders in the NBA?
• Who are the most (and least) efficient spending organizations in the NBA, and has that changed over time?

Methodology• Collected team payrolls and regular season win percentages from
1991 to 2014
• Normalized payroll data to adjust for contract inflation (Hotrod Williams for the Cavaliers)
• Ran a linear regression using all NBA seasons as data points to find a linear relationship between the percentage of games a team wins and their payroll relative to the salary cap

Regression Results

So money is the answer, right?Not so fast...
While there does appear to be some positive relationship between payroll relative to the salary cap and regular season win percentage, the relationship isn’t extremely strong.
Perhaps the relationship was weaker in the ’90s and is now becoming stronger. We test this by looking at the yearly correlation between our two variables.

Some DefinitionsCorrelation Coefficient (Pearson’s R):• Measure of the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two
variables X and Y, giving a value between +1 and −1 inclusive• 1 = Perfectly positive linear relationship• 0 = No linear relationship• -1 = Perfectly negative linear relationship
Coefficient of Determination (R2):• Measures how much of the variability of a factor can be caused or explained
by variations in another factor, giving a value between 0 and 1 inclusive• 0 = Variation in X does not explain any variation in Y• 1 = Variation in X is completely responsible for variation in Y

Best and Worst Spending TeamsWe averaged residuals from our linear regression to quantify how good each team spent their money.
Residual• The difference between the observed outcome and the predicted outcome• Suppose our model predicts how many games a team should win based on
how much money they spend• If our model predicts the Houston Rockets should win 55 games given their
payroll, but they actually win 70, the residual is 15• If the Rockets somehow win only 30 games (which would never happen in
real life), the residual would be -25

Potential Causes and Future Ideas• The Superstar Effect – MJ, LeBron, Kobe
• The Draft Gem Effect – Westbrook, Durant, Harden
• The importance of team chemistry
• Is it even possible to predict how many games a team should win by only using data?

The Value of NFL Running Backs• We want to analyze this next – how should we go about doing so?

The Questions• What metrics in the regular season are the best indicators of playoff
success?
• Is defense the real key to winning championships?
• Can we develop a reasonably accurate model for the NFL where a one-and-done playoff system leads to great variability?

Important Ground Rules• Don’t be a jerk. Everyone loves their team, no need to be
unnecessarily rude.
• Learn to take a joke. The Mavs aren’t actually the worst team in the NBA, but know that I don’t actually mean it
• Have fun, enjoy what you’re doing
