    American sports executive Daryl Morey was the first to adapt James' Pythagorean expectation to professional basketball while a researcher at STATS, Inc.. He found that using 13.91 for the exponents provided an acceptable model for predicting won-lost percentages:
    [​IMG]Daryl's "Modified Pythagorean Theorem" was first published in STATS Basketball Scoreboard, 1993-94.[12]
    Noted basketball analyst Dean Oliver also applied James' Pythagorean theory to professional basketball. The result was similar.
    Another noted basketball statistician, John Hollinger, uses a similar Pythagorean formula except with 16.5 as the exponent.



    That doesn't seem to take into account the strength of the teams they are playing against. Doesn't seem to be a very useful stat for anything but professional sports where the playing field is much more level.
