Only a former highschool basketball statistician would get excited amidst the NBA Finals hype to report about the National Basketball Association's state-of-the-art information system that monitors and reports its games.
The scoreboard, shotclock, referee whistles, and floor lighting system all connect to a LAN of laptops operated by staff who tap dance with the data before it is sent to the arena's Large Monitors and media outlets. The data is sent onto NBA HQ in Secaucus, NJ where it is published to nba.com. Video feeds are also tagged and fed into a database that is used by coaches to plan games and the league to review calls. How cool is that?
