Fun facts & stats from the Wizards’ 93-102 L to the Los Angeles Clippers

**Note: This is not a commercial:**
[**The Los Angeles Clippers are currently the only ones to have this amazing Clippers’ vision (Courtvision) thing that shows live shooting stats while players are still moving in all of their games (You can add it to League Pass**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl6rxqBYP5U) **-** taking into account their distance from the basket, the zone they are at, and their distance from their defender. Which is basically like just watching the CPU playing 2K with the shot meter.

It’s a prototype that finally became fruitful, with the Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Balmer (Who is a big gadget fan) & the cooperation of the NBA, in the last few years introducing AWP Sports’ solutions & AI & analysis into live-game.

The problem: I don’t know which data they are based upon & how they do these calculations (Which formulas – are very important in my science field) so I don’t know how they determine it each time (Is it Dynamic?
What stats are they comparing? From this season or the last few years? & many others.
[Also, it’s quite costly right now – $200/season with 7 days trial.](https://www.nba.com/clippers/clippervision)

It became successful enough & we’ll see in the near future more NBA teams offering this feature in the future (It’s still unknown whether next season, yet).
