I have a hard enough time finding all the statistical information I want about how players actually perform on the court, much less how they behave off of it!Sam Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08316461085463123064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199482463825619353.post-77405373785040812212007-08-09T04:51:00.000-08:002007-08-09T04:51:00.000-08:00Rather than debate which messengers to shoot and w...Rather than debate which messengers to shoot and which ones to listen to I wish there were a way to get beyond anecdotal information to hard numbers. Is there any information out there about the savings rate of NBA players? Is there a way to statistically prove that, for example, yes, most NBA players do drive nice cars but no, they don’t pay for them because some dealer gave them the car for publicity reasons. Can we find out the savings-rate for NBA millionaires vs. other millionaires? Personally I think Oden should drive a Tesla when they come out next year. Sure it’s a $100,000 sports car but it’s all-electric so he’s offsetting his spending with environmental tenderness.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772652595102064083noreply@blogger.com
