Insane realization at 2:48 that MJ's AVERAGE game score was almost 99th percentile

[@HeidiSkolnik-l6v]

Oh yeah, for sure I am using this video in my Intro Statistics courses from now on. It gets the points across so well.

Such cool work! Know I could probably do a deep dive on post-game interviews myself - but would looooove to hear how the players felt during these unexpected performances

[@jeffc1318]

Nice job! Love this kind of stuff. Do you do other sports as well?

[@mindyng4177]

time to put this in a stats101 classroom. this z-score explanation is an outlier

[@xmattew17]

malachi flynn game must be on this list now!

[@umbertopappalardi8667]

Great work!

[@ziraprod6090]

you should define "last season" because - you know - the internet is permanent.

[@crossbirdsong6293]

This is an awesome video!!!

[@dmnd2806]

Nice video. 1. it's to short need it to be 15 minutes so you can get the second commercial break. 2. could break down the Z score more it got real wonky really quick.

[@adnanhussain9057]

I like it, short to the point

[@brunomazzetto2475]

very cool!

[@sheridanjamieson]

Coming into this, I was sure Brandon Jennings' 55 points seven games into his rookie season would be up there. Guess it wasn't THAT unexpected.

[@Skillstorm91]
