LB, przedstawiam Tobie i innym forumowiczom pod rozwagę artykuł, który
statystycznie udowadnia to, o czym mówiłem wcześniej: że zwycięstwo
zwycięstwu nierówne, w zależności od epoki; i że dla Bulls’96 zdobycie 72
zwycięstw mogło nie być trudniejsze niż powiedzmy 65 zwycięstw dla zespołu z
lat 80. czy obecnego – w erze, kiedy na szczęście przybyło talentu i
rywalizacja znów jest bardziej wyrównana.

Pondering parity
Analyzing whether the NBA is becoming a two-tier league

If you look at this summer's free-agent moves, the NBA's rich are getting
quite a bit richer.
The evidence is beyond doubt. The Lakers, of course, added Gary Payton and
Karl Malone, while the world champion Spurs rearmed with Rasho Nesterovic and
Hedo Turkoglu. Meanwhile, the Kings, Nets, Pistons and Timberwolves all made
major moves of their own to improve. Given that those teams had the league's
six best records a year ago, one has to wonder if the league quickly will
separate into the haves and have-nots.
But whether we should be appalled or apathetic about the offseason
developments depends largely on our perception of whether this is par for the
course in the NBA. The question, then, is whether we are seeing something
historically unprecedented or if the league gone through other eras where the
disparity between teams was much greater.
To measure that in a fairly simple way, I went through the past 20 seasons
and measured the number of teams who won or lost 50 games, and the number who
won or lost 60 games.
From that, we can get a "Parity Index"
