NBA gets Geeky-savvy
For all the hoops junkies, this might come as the best news of the season, eclipsing the oh-so-waited return of Derrick Rose. The NBA and Stats LLC announced a plan to install motion-tracking technology in every NBA arena beginning with the upcoming 2013-2014 season.
What will this mean for us fans? Stats’ SportVU Player tracking system, a platform that includes six cameras and exclusive software, will be used by all 30 NBA teams during game play to record and measure the movements of the ball and all players on the court. A continuous stream of data and innovative statistics will therefore be available for us to analyze and say who was the hero and who was the zero of the match. Along with NBA TV, the SportVU player tracking data will be available to fans via NBA.com and the NBA Game Time app. Get ready to corroborate arm-chair conjecturing with some cold hard facts. The new vernacular of the NBA will be speed profiles, offensive play types, defensive match ups and court coverage maps. NBA gets geekier and its just going to better from here.
