Hollinger

[shangrila]

Poorly written article, but it hit the standard of what's been coming out of ESPN for a while now.

But Hollinger needs to stick with numbers. At least then he can pretend his worthless opinion is a "fact".

Hollinger is a total hack and isn't respected in any advanced analytics circles. His analysis is the equivalent of a first year med student performing brain surgery. This article is no exception.

This pretty much sums up my thoughts.
"So I need to address John Hollinger before I describe how basketball is actually looked at. Hollinger's Player Efficiency Ranking (PER) is the 'Transformers 2' of stats. It's analysis stripped of the complexities so that it can be easily absorbed without any threat of someone not being able to understand it."
