Want to win games in the NBA…
interesting nytimes.com piece today on a new paper coming out detailing racial bias by nba referees in calling fouls:
“Across all of these specifications,†they write, “we find that black players receive around 0.12-0.20 more fouls per 48 minutes played (an increase of 2 ½-4 ½ percent) when the number of white referees officiating a game increases from zero to three…. Basically, it suggests that if you spray-painted one of your starters white, you’d win a few more games,†Mr. Wolfers said.
maybe there’s a good reason for dirk doing all that flopping after all…
