Two-Way Tables (2 of 2: Michael Jordan vs. Reggie Miller)

[@coin5207]

Quite smart of him to use a sports example here. He could have used some typical textbook example about finance or something equally tedious but it looks like he made an effort to look up something that would be relevant for his target audience. If more teachers made an effort like this I'm sure they wouldn't have to put up with "Subject XYZ is so unnecessary" "what do I even need this for?" "I'm never gonna use this in real life"

[@alwysrite]

once again when you bring sport into the picture I notice the kids are more interested! Nicely done.

[@_Faisal_]

the youth today really dont know who reggie miller is!

[@johubify]

I do not know about any basketball player except Michael Jordan

[@bogdanklopic6073]

@Tucker Blue C`mon man, You`re watching educative content and then you say that.

[@edmboss254]

I love you so much, you’ve actually made my teacher make me think I’m smart

[@pite9]

Because Jordan shoots more 2s than 3s percentage wise, his total accuracy is closer to his 2s accuracy. Basically he does safer shots. Jordan looks to have significantly better movement and ability to find scoring chances, although playing more time per game or having better teammates can skew this aspect. Miller is the better shot though.

He's not NBA media, he's just a math teacher educating his students. Let it be man, we all know MJ is the GOAT.

[@pite9]

@@markuscordova2246 No. I know nothing about basketball apart from the basic rules. I just meant to show the proper nuanced way to interpret the statistics, and I wanted to highlight how much info we can learn from so few data points. It's a fascinating example.

[@Craze_Lifter]

@@markuscordova2246 Lebron is the GOAT.

[@jordanchung1974]

this is quality stuff

[@AnimusInvidious]

This is an important lesson in how the supposed takeaway from statistics can be manipulated.

[@nigeltufnel4031]

That is points per shot

[@_Faisal_]

4:11 kareem abdul jabbar might have something to say about that

[@lunaaryal8745]

LeBron too

[@bryan.flores]

MJ had the highest points per game of any player. That's what hes talking about

[@geoffiida3315]

If you’re still wondering what’s going on here ... bringing the players’ 3-pt% into the mix is going to reduce each player’s overall shooting %, because they both shoot worse from 3-pt land. But, Miller takes a bigger hit to his average, because his 3-pt% is weighted more than Jordan’s. Miller takes far more of these lower-percentage 3-pt shots (relative to the number of 2-pt shots) than Jordan does, so their “lowering” effect on the overall average is much more impactful to Miller’s average

[@ssrijan03]

I Wish I had a maths teacher like you

[@AngelinaCruz357]

From this statistical data, we can comfortably conclude: that Miller's accuracy is higher than Jordan's by 1% in the 2Ps and by 9% in the 3Ps. Wouldn't you agree, Mr. Woo?

[@AnimusInvidious]

But the more important point is that Jordan's total accuracy is better because he strategized when to take which type of shot more optimally.

[@ryanhuang5990]

Imagine not knowing who reggie miller is

[@andyrockism]

i dont and Im from the USA

[@johubify]

I dont know any basketball player except Michael Jordan

[@XxStuart96xX]

American sports are popular globally but not universally so, more like an underground popularity in many countries. Miller retired 15 years ago and has no global brand (unlike Michael Jordan) so unsurprising a group of kids who were at most a couple years old when he retired don't know who he is. Pick a sport you don't watch. Can you name all the people who were big in that sport 20, 30 years ago?

[@johubify]

@@XxStuart96xX yes bro, and also, I'm not American

[@nigeltufnel4031]

Now calculate by points

[@AngelinaCruz357]

The number of shots taken by basketball players, depend on the teamwork among the team players and their games.

[@arvindhmani06]

Now let's bring Stephen Curry into this comparison!

[@doctorcatnip2551]

Eddie, I love your videos! ❤️ BUT .... Jordan was NOT known for his accuracy.
