i don't think there's a better playmaker in the league right now than westbrook and there are still people that try saying he's not a point guard...



durant goes down and instead of trying to make up for all the scoring himself, he's just set everyone else up. 10 assists with 3 minutes left in the second. :westbrook2:

It's amazing how many times stuff like this happens. If I was a visiting team on a short road trip, I'd just bring my own lunch.

It doesn't happen as often as it sounds like. 32 teams with 12 players a piece travel every week. Of course someone gets food poisoning but it doesn't happen often enough for it to be a cause of concern.

This is quite similar to survivorship bias.

Survivorship bias, or survival bias, is the logical error of concentrating on the people or things that "survived" some process and inadvertently overlooking those that did not because of their lack of visibility. This can lead to false conclusions in several different ways. The survivors may be actual people, as in a medical study, or could be companies or research subjects or applicants for a job, or anything that must make it past some selection process to be considered further.

Survivorship bias can lead to overly optimistic beliefs because failures are ignored, such as when companies that no longer exist are excluded from analyses of financial performance. It can also lead to the false belief that the successes in a group have some special property, rather than just coincidence. For example, if three of the five students with the best college grades went to the same high school, that can lead one to believe that the high school must offer an excellent education. This could be true, but the question cannot be answered without looking at the grades of all the other students from that high school, not just the ones who "survived" the top-five selection process.

Survivorship bias is a type of selection bias.
