Full Court
Posted by Justin Kubatko on July 18, 2007
Have you checked out all of the neat research tools available in Basketball-Reference.com's Full Court? There are currently four main tools located there:
- The Box Scores Search allows you to search regular season box scores dating back to the 1986-87 season and playoff box scores dating back to the 1996 playoffs. So if you just have to know who scored the most points for the Boston Celtics in a road loss in the last five years, well, we can help.
- With the Player Stats Search you can search for single-season or multi-season performances that match the criteria that you specify. For example, you can sort players by their Player Efficiency Rating (PER) for their first five years in the league (minimum 5000 minutes played).
- Head2Head allows you to see how players performed in the head-to-head matchups. For example, you can find out how LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have performed when their teams have played each other.
- Last, but not least, is the Player Comparison Machine,which allows you compare single season or cumulative season statistics for up to four players. Do you want to know how Tim Duncan compares to Karl Malone, Bob Petit, and Charles Barkley through age 30? You can find out using the PCM.
Please let me know if you have any questions about using these features, and I will do my best to answer them.
