CEO of the Kraft Analytics Group (KAGR) and co-founder of the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, Jessica Gelman joins the show to talk about the growth and evolution of analytics in the sports business, on both the sporting and commercial side. Gelman feels that the science of data analytics in sports is still in its very early stages of development and has only begun to scratch the surface of what it can add to the business of sports. Started as a one-day event in 2006 with only a keynote speaker, the conference is now sold out, offers dozens of panels about all aspects of the sports business, and encourages diversity, equity and inclusion through opportunities to showcase under represented populations. DP & McGhee talk about all things Super Bowl, from ratings and the half time show, to their favorite (most and least) commercials. Football may be over for now, but there will be plenty to talk about in the coming episodes.

It's a special live episode of ESPN Daily! This weekend in Boston, some of the brightest minds from across the sports world gathered for the annual MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference.

My guest today is Kanaad. He is a friend of mine from Berkeley, and he is a Cavs and RL enthusiast. We talk about a fascinating paper from the 2018 Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. The main idea is that by modeling each possession as a Markov Decision Process, it becomes easy to build a simulator that can help us answer questions like "How much more efficient would a team be if they took 20% fewer midrange shots early in the shot clock?" The paper: http://www.lukebornn.com/papers/sandholtz_ssac_2018.pdf

When NBA superstars like Steph Curry, Joel Embiid, or Kawhi Leonard are given a planned night off, the impact of their absence isn’t just felt on the floor - it’s a financial issue as well. Whether it’s fans not getting what they believe they paid for, prices on the secondary ticket markets crumbling, or teams dealing with empty seats and depressed TV viewership, the consequences of a planned absence of a major star reverberate across the sport. But just how much is everyone losing when stars sit out - and which stars are creating the biggest holes in NBA pockets? To get to the bottom of one of the biggest financial questions surrounding the NBA, Paul spoke to Scott Kaplan, who presented his paper detailing the economic impact of NBA Superstars at the 2019 Sloan Sports Analytics Conference.

Scott Kaplan is a 4th year PhD student in Agricultural and Resource Economics at UC Berkeley.While he has championship experience (winning UC Berkeley’s intramural basketball championship in 2018), his sports-related research has focused on the economics of superstar players, attempting to measure the economic value of these players to fans.He presented at the 2019 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, winning Best Poster for his work on NBA superstars.Podcasts cost money to make, equipment, software and the like. Thankfully Betfair has sponsored this podcast which means I can just concentrate on getting fantastic guests!

Almost every team’s fans can point to a signature free agent signing that fell flat. Sometimes the reasons for the players’ underperformance are clear -- injuries for example. But often, it’s harder to pinpoint the cause. In those cases we tend to point to lack of effort as the culprit. This is what researchers call “shirking.” According to Richard Paulsen, who presented his paper “New Evidence in the Study of Shirking in Major League Baseball,” at the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, “shirking occurs when an employee exerts effort... that is suboptimal in the eyes of the employer.” Richard speaks with us about his research on shirking and his belief that the Phillies are going to regret at least one free-agent signing from this off-season.
