NBA players height vs points scored per game (Based on 2009-2010 season stats) NBA player's minutes per game vs points scored per game (Based on 2004-2010 season stats) NBA player's points scored per game vs free throw percentage (Based on 2009-2010 season stats) Number of Toronto Maple Leaf wins vs Number of fans (5 wins vs 1 fan RANCOURTTTTTTT)
 * Brain Storming**

Does a professional player's minutes determine the amount of points scored per game in the NBA(National Basketball Association)(based on 2004-2005 season stats to 2009-2010 stats)
 * Question**


 * Variables being tested**
 * Independant (x)-** Player's minutes per game
 * Dependant (y)-** Points per game

I believe that a player's minutes per game will determine the amount of points scored a game based on common sense which is the longer you play on the the floor the more opportunity a player has to create plays and score points.
 * Hypothesis**



Lebron James (39.0MPG) 2nd leading scorer in 2009-2010 season (29.7PPG)

Kevin Durant (39.5MPG) NBA leading scorer 2009-2010 season (30.1PPG)


 * Background Information**

The Nation Basketball Association is a professional men's basketball league composed of 30 teams in North America (29 teams in the US and 1 in Canada**).** The NBA is one of the 4 North American pro sports leagues, which include Major League Baseball(MLB), the National Football League(NFL), and the National Hockey League(NHL)(even though there are arguments that the NHL is to soft to be considered a real sport and should fit into the category of activity but after looking up a definition of activity " a use of energy or force " one must than think hockey does not need any use of energy to play therefore it is in its own category of soft). The league was founded in New York City on June 6th, 1946 as the Basketball Association of America(BAA). The league adopted the name National Basketball Association in 1949 after merging with the rival Nation Basketball League(NBL).

 * Conclusion-**

The data has obviously proved my hypothesis wrong as there were many outliers who are the stars of their team(but there team is less than par such as Minnesota, Washington, Sacramento) where the players receive plenty of playing time but fail to produce on the offensive end because they are playing tougher opponents with better defense and who know coming in to the game that these poor teams only have one proven star so he is guarded well. As well players in the earlier stages of my research (2004,2005) had a higher correlation because the game was more fast paced and those players were relied on by their teams unlike in today's game were most teams slow the ball down therefore giving them less possessions than they would have with the fast break and the big scorers are not playing as much as players used to (notice in 2009-2010 not one player averaged over 40 minutes a game unlike 6 players in 2004-2005 that player well over 40 minutes).
