Jeremy Lin, women in VC, and the bigotry of pattern matching
Jeremy Lin, women in VC, and the bigotry of pattern matching:
Jeremy Lin is the talk of the NBA. Sportswriters everywhere are busy cranking out column inches on what people have called the ultimate Cinderella story: The emergence of an Asian-American Harvard graduate, seemingly from nowhere, as one of the NBA’s biggest stars.
On February 3, Jeremy Lin was the Knicks’ third-string point guard. Less than two weeks later,
Sports Illustrated announced that they would put him on the cover of the February 20 issue with the caption, “Against All Odds.”
Yet one group wasn’t surprised by Lin’s success. A new breed of basketball statheads (the hoop equivalent of the SABRmetricians popularized in “Moneyball“) had predicted Lin’s success from the start.
Prior to the 2010 draft (where all 30 NBA teams passed on Lin) their analysis ranked Lin #10 out of all players, and #1 among undrafted players. This analysis is purely statistical; the models don’t consider height, vertical leap, foot speed, and perhaps most importantly, skin color. They simply look at statistical contributions made during basketball games.
