Ibnziyad Tariq Did I say Kyrie Irving is a bad player with no IQ? He said all those for whatever reason, but Kyrie himself runs half-court set plays and knows where his other 4 teammates are at. That's basketball IQ
Huntracony The quality and style of the videos he's showing, betrays that this is a *marketing* presentation. 11:15 especially, looks like the highly polished style of a Microsoft advertisement. I'm not sure that a university would pay to have such a video made, so something's suspicious here. Polished marketing should _always_ make you suspicious.
Very interesting. I think the description buries the most fascinating points: most NBA playoff teams were using this software, and the Ray Allen shot in game 6 of the 2013 NBA finals only had a 9 percent chance of happening.
Yeah but the only reason he was brough to Miami was for exactly those kind of moments. Is not like Dwight Howard hit the amazing shot. Ray Allen made that shot. That's why he was on the floor.
As someone that works in the sports analytics field, videos like these are always interesting! It still seems like many teams are slow to integrate findings like these into practice and play. If your'e interested in learning about how to get into the sports analytics field, I have a few videos on my channel that complement this one nicely!
Do you have a video giving the gist of how to create the shot probabilty chart at 8:00? I understand it. But I want to know how to construct the data so I can make some charts like that on my own. I am trying to prove a correlation of # of shot attempts vs Shooting percentage/rate. I need to prove that James Harden is ruining basketball. I also want to use it for any position that has to do with attempts vs points made or yards etc.
@@mazengwe28 I don't have a video out like that yet. But I know that there are some people who have built visuals like that using python and matplotlib. I would check out the book sprawlball, the author has some hot takes on harden haha.
@@KenJee_ds Do you you know the math concept or statistics test to compare two rates and where they converge? When I say rate, I mean the opposite of a percentage. Cuz I'm just trying to know what math concept represents volume in terms of shooting or rushing attempts in football?
@@mazengwe28 Not sure exactly what methods that he used here. Generally you can use a linear model (regression) for your two variables and see where they intersect. I hope this helps!
The thing I noticed was that because the info can tell you players who can shoot well but take bad shots they are worth more as training people to take good shots is much easier than training people to shoot better
Wealthy Big Penis true! that bubble chart with the names on them is what I want to look at Right now for the next 3 hours!! Who is that bottom bubble? Steph? Who's the worst shooting star players? IT? who gets paid the most for being a terrible shooter? andre roberson? so many great questions!!
YeeSoest true, however Roberson surely isn't paid the most for being a bad shooter ahah. As far as what this measures, he would be a great shooter, at 54%, however mostly on easy shots. And he 'only' makes roughly 1.2 million a year.
go easy on the haterode people! granted, the talk doesn't actually delve into the math. rather it presents a high level description of machine learning. don't blame him for the fact that you already know something about this stuff, i bet you many people who watched this video got something out of it, i certainly enjoyed it :) of course, it really is a really fancy presentation, but that does not in any way take away from the fact, that for example a key problems of machine learning (prediction) is explained lucidly and illustrated vividly by example of spatio temporal pattern recognition in basketball (to find 'good' features to predict the correct 'class' of pick and roll). if you look for something deeper and less lofty, take a MOOC on this topic, read papers or textbooks but don't watch a TED talk!!
So what does one do with the data involved in this? Predictive algorithms. I'm sure some element of this program is involved in the auto-driving cars. Unfortunately I see this program getting military application. Not only does this apply to missile defense, it could be a "tracking" technology that changes how wars can be fought on every level of battle (infantry, navy, air, space?).
There are already a lot of predictive / simulation software out there that the military use. It won't be a surprise if they ask this company to integrate with those other software. (or are already integrated).
Right now I feel 20% enlightened, 30% hopeful/optimistic, and 50% fearful... Why is that? Is this what big brother looks like.. The answer: Yes. My solution: We need to make as big advancements in Morality, honest brotherhood, and goodness as we do in science, art, and technology.
+UXSpecialist why would you lump in art with science and technology especially when you are implying that those things are somehow against morality, honesty and goodness? weird....
I was thinking this same thing. Why why why give a presentation on something this cool, and then talk about nothing specific (aside from the heat game at the end-- even that was too short).
This can be implemented in a different department like in the Police. All the Police cars patrolling around the city could be tracked as dots and as soon as they find out something is going on, they could contact the police patrolling near to that spot so that the police could get there even faster.
but the program doesnt calculate that the player has an argument with his girlfriend earlier in the day and he's in a bad mood. He takes it out on the screener by giving him elbows when they contact which in turn makes the screener screen differently, which then leads to the ball handler reacting differently to the defense. too many variables that aren't being factored in, just enjoy the game.
no, you're misunderstanding how this big data works. such statistics accounts for the fact that there is some probability of any external factor of any sort having a certain amount of chance of happening to any player at any time, and that's how it all works altogether. i'm probably explaining it poorly, but you have to understand a thing or two about statistics before you make a statement like that.
Not sure if you're being tongue in cheek, but the point of a statistical model is not to count for every outlandish outlier and hidden variable. We can know whether a shot was "good" or "bad" based on how often shots with similar properties are made or missed. In the long run, the number of crazy psychological butterfly effects will not make a big difference as to what is a good or bad shot, just will effect certain plays in ways we don't really need to understand in order to learn the bigger principles at play.
It would be interesting to learn how exactly they calculate the probability of a shot. It strongly depends on player's movements and skills besides defenders positions and their angles. Obviously, LeBron James and myself have different probability of making a good shot in a fixed game configuration.
The way pressure effects individuals is impossible to model as it varies on a day to day basis even within the individual. Some coaches who can read this and see who is "feeling it" on a given play will still be necessary.. So integrate this stuff cyborg style and we have the best teams ever
If anyone has a link or some advice how to get into this I would like to know. I am relatively new to the world of machine learning and programming and would like to learn more about this work. Thanks in advance
Probability prediction is one of the scariest things to me because as machines get smarter (by this i mean better able to process complex data) the more our movements are being monitored (gathering complex data), so the more data they have and the more likely they are able to predict what we are doing outside of the "monitored areas". Some would say that if your not doing anything wrong then why does it matter and to that i make the same argument back and would go so far as to say that if best guess in the human experience is replaced with perfect guess we trade off a "mistake learning" experience (the process in which we develop common sense) for one that creates a dependency on computers that could send the entire human race down a unrecoverable path.
really interesting. the thing to me is that it doesn't go into detail enough for my level of basketball knowledge but i understand he has to appeal to non-basketball enthusiasts. That bubble chart is really interesting and I want a copy!
This talk is to advertise his software and let everyone know its being used by the top team. Sorry, no preview included. You have to buy it in order to try it.
Its better to use as analyzing what has happened than using it as a predictor. I 've learned that. The human element is very strong. So trying to apply it to try and guess outcomes of games will still leave you unsatisfied.
To be perfect at some thing you have to deepen into it, this way will make you know the concepts at anytime and makes you realise thing from the mind point of view, so your actions can comprehend the knowledge. There are superficial concepts, and there are deeper concepts, just like math. normal math is explained by another deeper math knowledge that came from another concepts, and so on... every thing explain others, till it is called a miracle which is not according to the law of human mind to comprehend, but it is rather a mysterious concepts beyond human mind that might confuse the mind and might even make human lose their minds...
In making humans dots we can begin to lose sight of emotion , motivation, bonding , self control limits. Spatial temporal pattern recognition is fine even laudatory but there are blind spots as these persons dont have eyes in the back of their head though they have stereo and peripheral vision to a more or less extent. Sound ie voice recognition fills in these blind spots with team talk. For example the back screen - you're blind- a switch has likely occurred and a mismatch created or a backdoor lane opened. Sensory operation feel and especially sound has to be paired with the technical mechanics of motion . Similarly another example is the voice call of slide. switch , or stay this is critical in screen defense in horizontal diagonal or vertical screens to avoid initiated collision static and the problem of being picked off. Ok sensei what do we do now ?
I didn’t realize this was uploaded 3 years ago and the first thing I thought of when I saw the bubble chart was that orange bubble at the bottom was Ben Simmons 😂😂😂
8:15 What I've been trying to tell people about basketball for the last 15 years. Yeah.... Good coaches can't outstrip a computer but they can do this better than lesser coaches. 😐
"if he goes by close enough, doesn't stop, it's probably not a pick and roll"; "if he does stop and doesn't stop close enough its probably not a pick and roll"; " or i can be wrong they all can be pick and rolls..... my mans just showed me slip ball screen and a drag screen... they still pick and rolls tho.....
Interesing technology, but wonder how useful it is at present. Like most new technologies of this sort, guessing it will probably take a while to be very useful & efficient.
Honestly, I knew it was a sales pitch about half way through. It's a cool explanation of machine learning, but the upsides he gave like "move smarter, better and forward" is so vague and useless. Why do I need to predict my daughter's first steps? And knowing that, doesn't that destroy some of the magic of that moment?
Well, this software could be revolutionary in sport analytics, but the probabilities are not based on enough factors. There will come a tile where a computer will be able to predict exactly what will happen in a game but by that time it will also be able to predict the future. Which will be a while. The interesting stuff is how they developed that computer that are able to learn and see pattern by data.
+kurrethegs it "could" be revolutionary in sports? lol the funny thing about this overwhelmingly ignorant comment of yours is that this has been used by the NBA, NHL, NFL and other organizations for at least two decades now.
Amazing use of technology on moving dots. However, I feel like there is more to the technology that I want to know more about... this video is too short.
"Rajiv Maheswaran and his colleagues are analyzing the movements behind the key plays of the game, to help coaches and players combine intuition with new data." Basically, nerds who could never play sports, want in on the multi-billion-dollar business of sports, that's generally getting less competitive and seeing more predictable results, thanks to a growing overuse of sabermetrics and biomechanical analysis. Not against "math for sports." It has its place, even in sports. Just don't like how there's this constant push (advertisement) of such concepts that sports somehow better need something that sorta defies the whole point of human competition sometimes. "Sabermetrical" and analysis-heavy sports teams like the Boston Red Sox are becoming almost TOO predictably the winners of everything. To the point where you almost ask, "Why even bother? They math away the human guesswork."
It’s 9% chance for the shot to happen and go in? A computer can’t detect a persons instincts or whether or not and how much someone has practiced a certain shot for these moments.
I still didn't learn much. I wish he would have gone deeper and given his take on how sports movement software could potentially affect everyday human movement.
This is the future of tracking humans and predicting where they came from, where they will be, and which way they'll travel to come and go. Think about that for a minute.
Hindsight is always 20-20. Easy to 'predict' the game after the game is over. the machine gives Lebron 33% chance to make the shot which means 67% chance of missing it, and 88% chance of not getting an offensive rebound and 63% for Ray Allen not to make the tying 3. If you were to ask the machine before the play if Miami would win the game (a yes or no answer), there's 100% chance that the machine's prediction would be wrong. How's that for machine learning? A machine can't learn, it can't predict, a machine can process an extremely large amount of data, that's all.
It wouldve been more likely to happen if ray allen had taken the first shot. But what was the probability that chris bosh would get the Offensive rebound ? Because he is lefty ?
U mean for the presentation? or the analysis..... I want to know the one used for the presentation ...i.e. digital overlay visualisation If you want the analysis, its second spectrum

This is not a TED-talk, this is a sales pitch.
I felt like the end of the talk was a jump off for a Black Mirror episode.
But apparently its already happening.
I enjoy a lot of TED talks, but I have to admit that you could say that about an awful lot of them
Isn't every Ted talk a sales pitch, in fact the whole Ted model is sales every one of this speakers come to " sell" their idea

I was thinking this same thing. Why why why give a presentation on something this cool, and then talk about nothing specific (aside from the heat game at the end-- even that was too short).
Sports analytics is a competitive field with a lot of proprietary information. He was probably limited in what he could talk about.
Questionable recreation, Ray Allen was fading away with a defender in his face
The miss wasn't the way it was missed, the defense wasn't good enough, and Daria didn't backpedal so many steps like Allen.

Good talk. There are things machines still can’t quantify or predict and may never be able to do so but this helps give you a ball park.
Its better to use as analyzing what has happened than using it as a predictor. I 've learned that. The human element is very strong. So trying to apply it to try and guess outcomes of games will still leave you unsatisfied.

It’s 9% chance for the shot to happen and go in? A computer can’t detect a persons instincts or whether or not and how much someone has practiced a certain shot for these moments.
This would revolutionise sports betting
I still didn't learn much. I wish he would have gone deeper and given his take on how sports movement software could potentially affect everyday human movement.
So where's the math??
well ok, if you talk about the math behind, then at least put some math... ergo
thanks. that will fucking answer how he did it... geez, i prefer to be a pseudointellectual than a 'subject matter expert' like you. goat.
4:24 - is that @thepointsguy?
this is very cool!

This is the future of tracking humans and predicting where they came from, where they will be, and which way they'll travel to come and go. Think about that for a minute.
Hindsight is always 20-20. Easy to 'predict' the game after the game is over. the machine gives Lebron 33% chance to make the shot which means 67% chance of missing it, and 88% chance of not getting an offensive rebound and 63% for Ray Allen not to make the tying 3. If you were to ask the machine before the play if Miami would win the game (a yes or no answer), there's 100% chance that the machine's prediction would be wrong. How's that for machine learning? A machine can't learn, it can't predict, a machine can process an extremely large amount of data, that's all.
Clearley he never played sports. Sports is emotions a d the feel of the game. Every night is different
It wouldve been more likely to happen if ray allen had taken the first shot. But what was the probability that chris bosh would get the Offensive rebound ? Because he is lefty ?
very interesting!
math is beautiful
8:30 I lost.
benbasss hahahaha, at least I'm not the only one! xD
3 years later, the game :P
Great video!
no it wasnt
is there anyone who can explain the meaning of the chart at 8:25 in Chinese? Plz~
Ray Allen caught the pass from CB and took a backward step behind the 3 pt line before swishing it. That would have taken more 4 tries.
So... this is the beginning of Person of Interest?
Really liked his talk except his wide scale applicability at the end which sounded dubious
ray allen was doing a step back with tip toes at the corner three, so did the machine account the physical state of the play hmmmm
This game has always been, and will always be, about buckets.
Great
wow awesome graphics
what is the software name? or maybe where i can find them pleaseeeee!!!!!
U mean for the presentation? or the analysis.....
I want to know the one used for the presentation ...i.e. digital overlay visualisation
If you want the analysis, its second spectrum
Great viedo
