Basketball has evolved dramatically with the rise of advanced analytics. This transformation has reshaped strategies, decision-making, and the game itself.
Key Takeaways

Teams like the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets exemplify data-driven success.
Player health and recruitment benefit significantly from analytics.
1. The Evolution of Basketball Through Advanced Analytics
In the past, basketball strategies relied heavily on traditional play styles, such as post-up moves and mid-range shots. However, the integration of advanced analytics has led to a data-driven revolution. This shift is evident in the increased emphasis on three-point shooting. For instance, the average number of three-point attempts per game has skyrocketed from 14.7 in the 2002-03 season to 34.2 in the current season—a staggering 132.65% increase.
This change stems from the simple statistical insight that three-point shots, when executed with decent accuracy, yield more points than two-pointers over time. Players like Steph Curry and Klay Thompson epitomize this strategy, taking significantly more shots from beyond the arc.
2. How Advanced Analytics Has Revolutionized Basketball
The term “advanced analytics” refers to the use of complex data analysis techniques to gain insights into player performance and game strategies. In modern basketball, analytics have reshaped gameplay, influencing everything from shot selection to defensive schemes. Teams now leverage data to optimize player roles, enhance team dynamics,…

By Jonas BronckHormones are tiny chemical messengers in the body, which plays an essential role in maintaining your health and well-being. Contrary to popular belief, hormones are not not just linked to female issues, such as menopause, but it impacts all sexes and genders.
As a matter of fact, men go through something called andropause, which is the male equivalent of menopause. However, not all men experience andropause, and it is a subject that is not talked about enough. It is this lack of conversation that leaves many men in the dark about what their hormones are doing to their bodies and how they should deal with it.
Hormone imbalance in men is a real and often under-discussed condition that impacts both physical and mental health. While it is commonly associated with women, hormone imbalances in men can manifest due to various factors, including age, lifestyle, and certain medical conditions.
There are prevalent misconceptions about hormone imbalance in men, especially regarding what causes it and how it should be treated. Here’s a closer look at the realities of male hormone imbalance, addressing some common myths, and a brief overview…

Op-Eds
New York-Presbyterian is the highest priced hospital in New York, contributing to why New York’s hospital prices are 43% above the national average. You would think these higher prices equate to better health outcomes, but you would be wrong. Despite Presby bragging they have been ranked “one of the nation’s best hospitals,” the quality data they share with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services tells a different story. In fact, according to a popular hospital safety watchdog group named Leapfrog, patients visiting New York-Presbyterian’s flagship hospital on the East side of Manhattan have a higher than average rate of “having a dangerous object left in their body” after surgery. In an alphabetical scoring system, their flagship hospital gets a “C” ranking.
While Presby charges a premium for their services, patients do not seem to be receiving premium care in return. Instead, according to Leapfrog, patients should be concerned with things like whether staff are properly washing their hands in between patients or not.
It should be no wonder then that unions like 32BJ SEIU are cutting ties with Presby. And, in fact, 32BJ SEIU is letting everyone know why they are upset with the hospital.
I am grateful 32BJ is fighting back. There is a downstream cost to all workers when hospitals increase their costs. These high costs come directly out of our paychecks through decreased pay and benefits. But there is a lot more that labor groups and our community at large should be doing to name and shame hospitals like New York-Presbyterian who are suffocating us with high prices and contributing to the cost-of-living crisis so many New Yorkers are now experiencing.
That starts with getting educated about the situation.
The cost disparities at New York-Presbyterian are shocking. For example, a cesarean delivery costs a staggering $45,000. Compare this to $18,000 at most public hospitals—less than half the price. The same goes for procedures like bariatric surgery, which costs $51,000…

In today’s world, where environmental concerns are at the forefront of global discussions, businesses are increasingly recognizing the importance of sustainability. Reducing carbon footprints not only helps the planet but also enhances brand reputation and can lead to cost savings. While some companies might feel overwhelmed by the complexities of climate action, there are straightforward steps and innovative solutions available for businesses of all sizes.
Embrace Renewable Energy Sources
One of the most effective ways for businesses to reduce their carbon footprint is by switching to renewable energy sources. Solar panels, wind turbines, and geothermal systems can provide clean energy to power office spaces and industrial facilities. According to a recent industry report, participating in the PPA market (Power Purchase Agreements) allows companies to purchase large blocks of renewable energy, often at competitive rates compared to traditional electricity markets. By tapping into green energy, businesses not only support the demand for sustainable resources but also benefit from long-term energy cost stability.
Optimize Operational Efficiency
Improving efficiency within operations is another pivotal strategy. Conducting an energy audit can uncover areas where energy is being wasted, such as outdated machinery, inefficient lighting, or poor heating and cooling systems. Upgrading to modern equipment and setting up energy management systems can cut down on unnecessary consumption. For instance, sensor-driven lighting systems can ensure that lights are only on when needed.
Beyond technological upgrades, operational protocols can be adjusted. Encouraging remote work or flexible work hours can lead to reduced energy use in office spaces. Meanwhile, instituting a strict recycling and waste management program can minimize waste production and promote the reuse of materials.
