ABSTRACT

In this paper, we analyze the field data of NBA star players. We choose 25 of them and download the data from the NBA official website. The data is statistically analyzed from all aspects: the position of the player, the location on the court, the time order of two points and three points and the combination of these elements. We get some results according to the analysis. For example, players of all five positions prefer to make shots right ahead the basketry; attempts of three points reach the climax during the third quarter; over the last five minutes of the game, the rate of the number of two-point attempts is the lowest and that of three-point attempts is the highest at the 46th minute.
