NBA Championships Snellen Chart

Friday, 01 April 2011

After the MLB Snellen Chart I got some requests for an NBA version as well so here it is (and to be updated in a few weeks after this year's championship). This graphic includes NBA and BAA championships, not ABA (sorry Pacers and Nets since this moves you to the bottom). I've also included the teams which won a championship but have since moved to another city (the St. Louis Hawks (now Atlanta Hawks), the Seattle SuperSonics (now Oklahoma City Thunder) and the Rochester Royals (now Sacramento Kings))

The NBA is certainly a league of power franchises, with just 9 teams winning 88% of the championships and the Celtics/Lakers owning over 50% of the championships. We'll see if this trend continues in a few weeks.

2010 Tour de France Stage 17

Thursday, 22 July 2010

What great scenes today through the mist on the climb up the Col du Tourmalet. (Except perhaps for the number of men in Borat swimwear) I thought there may have been another cross in the graphic below with Andy Schleck taking yellow again but Contador held on with everything Schleck threw at him. Class move by Alberto to not all out sprint at the finish after Andy paced the entire climb with Schleck earning the Stage 17 victory.

2010 Tour de France

Monday, 19 July 2010

After seeing a ton of great graphic work being done looking at the 2010 World Cup, I realized I hadn't seen anything interesting visualizing the 2010 Tour de France. (Please send links to anything you do find)

World Cup Final versus The Decision

Saturday, 10 July 2010

I was a little worried after watching Spain-Netherlands in the 2010 World Cup final that there may have actually been more US viewers tuned in to Lebron James one hour "special" "The Decision"
