Slam-Dunk Graphics

摘要

Success in the National Basketball Association is the result of two factors: speed and accuracy. The NBA is counting on those same skills off the court. NBA Entertainment, which runs NBA-TV and works closely with the league's broadcast outlets, has built a system that allows graphics operators to give viewers statistical information with the speed of Allan Iverson. And because it draws data from a vast store of up-to-the second game stats, it's expected to be 100% accurate. "As soon as a statistic is triggered in the arena, it's available to us," says James Keepnews, NBA Entertainment senior manager, IT engineering.
