Re: Allen Iverson's shot attempts
The new part is interesting too.
You might want to consider looking at usage rate; it's supposed to be an approximation of how many posessions a player uses. The formula (from B-R.com) is:
40 * (Lg Pace / Tm Pace) * ((FGA + 0.44*FTA + 0.33*AST + TO) / MP).
It might be easier than looking at "more than 6 assists, more than 25 shots" etc.
I'm not sure where you're getting your data from so this might be too much of a hassle to calculate. B-R.com has usage rates for seasons, but if you're doing number crunching for individual games it might be a lot of work. Just a thought.
Regardless, fascinating stuff. I wonder if it applies to other stars?
