In basketball, spending explains less than 10% of the variation in wins. Discover what explains the other 90%!

 

In basketball, success takes more than money. From 1997-98 to 2003-04, the Knicks finished either first or second in payroll—and won only six more games than they lost.

Thomas’s path to disaster began with his first move: sending several players and draft picks to the Suns for players, including Stephon Marbury.
