In-depth graphical comparison of Manu's and Tony's skills.
Information is often easier to understand when put into clear, simple illustrations. For these images I used several basketball stats and ran them through a simple algorithm. I was a little surprised at the results, but that is often the case in statistics.
I have to refine the search methodology a bit, but this gives us a rough idea of how both players have performed so far, and what to expect the rest of the season. Hope you guys enjoy it.
Legend: The player with the Ginobili jersey represents Manu Ginobili.
The player with the Parker jersey represents Tony Parker.

Nice. I hope you have more in store us though. I’ll be waiting.

That’s probably the best use of TWSS I’ve ever heard. Kudos war, kudos.

Finally I have something statistically and irrefutably sound to show the naysayers and doubters! Thank you, Hipuks. This must have taken minutes and minutes out of your day.

You got my vote for crazy par excellence with these unbelievable stats. Surprised you didn’t manage to weave the Dogo in there to take a chunk out of Frenchie McWonderbutt.

I really think the data is skewed by having Tony in black (evil) and Manu in white (good). Do you think you’d have the time to perform the analysis with the uniforms switched? If not, I understand.
We specialize in misinformation around here. Facts and stats just get in the way.

Yes, I do understand your criticism and have received more less the same from statisticians, the fact is, in my 10 second Google search I couldn’t find a Tony Parker white jersey which I could cut and paste using the square tool and it wouldn’t get part of the other jersey next to it.
Sadly the technology is not there yet, but your point is well taken, baldy.
