NBA CAREER HIGHS

NBA CAREER HIGHS – ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

DATA:

Total Career Highs Reviewed: 275 – All NBA players with a career

high listed on the Internet as of 6-12-01 were reviewed. Total points

scored in the career high game was recorded. Each players’ biorhythm

was run on the date of the career high. The following are detailed

analyses of the data below:

The emotional positives (+ and #) outnumbered the

negatives (- and *) by nearly 2:1 (140 vs 74). In other words to

attain a career high an athlete is twice as likely to do so with an

emotional positive versus an emotional negative.

The intellectual positives (+ and #) outnumbered the negatives

(- and *) by approximately 1 ½ times. (135 to 88).

An interesting point to note from the Physical column is that having

a physical positive was not essential to scoring well enough to attain

career highs.

Why would a player attain a career high even when their

biorhythm did not have emotional positives?

	Playing up to the competition or challenge of another star player
	“Picking it up” when a key player on the same team is injured
	The emotional negative had a physical and intellectual positive to offset it.
	What does this data mean for the NBA coach?

An NBA coach should run the biorhythms of his players to determine which

of them has the best opportunity for exceptional play. The player should be

easy to select since the player with an emotional positive is twice as likely to

do well when compared to the player with an emotional negative. Those

players with a double or triple positive have the potential to play exceptionally well.

The chart above indicates that a player with an emotional and

intellectual positive had the best chance of obtaining a career high

when compared with other players with other combinations of biorhythms.

The numbers in the three biorhythm columns represent the day of the biorhythmic cycle followed by a symbol that corresponds to the sine wave above. Note that the +, H and # are positives which tend to produce higher levels of performance, hence greater achievement such as the career highs in this study.
