Using Data to Find Every Missing Award Winner In NBA History

The NBA has been around for a long-time now, once a league with just one award now has so many awards that we can’t even keep track. In this video we use statistics and machine learning to find all the past winners of the NBA’s most valuable player, defensive player of the year, western/eastern conference finals mvp, and much more.

video idea: look into every season and do a video per season or just one specific one you really like

[@tomkmb4120]

This was really cool man - i'm a huge sports fan thats been self learning programming for the last 18 months and its always cool to see people do fun stuff with data! would you ever do a video about your process?

[@JAswoosh]

Came across your content a couple days ago, thought "oh look just another nerd who doesn't know ball" then I saw your top 10 which was basically the same as mine, watched some of your vids and your content is actually elite man. You deserve way more viewers and they'll deff come. But one tweak I would recommend in the formula for Gmsc-based FMVP/CFMVP: Games should be weighed differently based on stakes, as opposed to only using average game score. E.g. James Worthy "Robbed" Magic's finals MVP bc he was amazing in that game 7. Voters tend to have short memories and a guy who is a B+ in games 1-6 and an A++ in game 7 will probably get the award over a guy who was an A in games 1-6 and a B- in game 7. I think weighing elimination games/game 7s more heavily in the formula would account for both who was the better performer on average and who was the best in the most important games of the series. I think there's also an argument to be made for weighing Gmsc in wins a little heavier than Gmsc in losses, as if two people on a winning team in a series have a similar Gmsc, yet one had all his best games in losses, and the other's best games resulted in wins, that would also be accounted for by voters when choosing the award. However that is a little more tedious. Would be curious to see if/how that would change the results

[@JAswoosh]

Great thought.

I think the leadership of Bill Russell is underrated, he was like Butler. He made his twammates good, sure he had a couple good ones like Havlicek, Jones and Cousy but the rest weren't anything too special. The thing that makes them look better is the rings and points but the pace was much higher in those days. I don't think Bill had more help than say Tim Duncan in that last championship run or the 08 celtics

[@tychesters]

Put some respect on my boy Joe

[@victorrusso8045]

Nice video

[@ilayhyams]

Bill should have won more mvps and every defensive player of the year ever. Lile Jimmy said Bill Russel is a better defender than Wilt was at offence

[@JAswoosh]

Possibly?

[@elarrayhesohit4479]

lol at the start interview. either bill russel is not 6'8" or that reporter standing on something. This prove Wilt is not the goat.
