OK so this is the folder I open every time someone at rec-league says "advanced stats are overrated" (they're not, and I will die on this hill, probably clutching my bad knee). These are the papers I keep coming back to for basketball and sports analytics in general \u2014 some are Boston-grown work from MIT Sloan crowd, some are just classics that live in my Zotero like a trophy case. Rated on the only scale that matters: did it change how I watch a game.

8In-Game Win Probability ModelsI have literally opened a live win-probability chart during a rec-league game on my phone at the FREE THROW LINE. My teammates have opinions about this.
