A Sports Economics professor from Cal Poly believes that NBA teams are making a mistake by investing too much money in individual players, rather than building a balanced team. He points out that the Boston Celtics are currently leading the NBA Finals series because they have a diverse group of talented players who complement each other well. Each player brings something unique to the team, allowing them to work together effectively.
The professor specializes in analyzing the financial strategies used by professional sports teams to achieve success. He examines various game actions such as rebounds and three-point shots to see how these actions can be used together to create a winning team. The Celtics have been successful this season because they have two main scorers and supporting role players who help them succeed.
Professor Kuehn notes that this year’s Denver team lacked the necessary complementary pieces for success, which is why they struggled throughout the season. However, teams like the Celtics have been able to excel in the sport because they understand the importance of having complementary players who work together effectively.
