Shot Analysis of Basketball Matches in 2004-2008-2012-2016 Olympic Games

Abstract

The objective of this study is to carry out the shot analysis of men’s basketball matches in the 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games. For this purpose, the variables of points per match, total points, 2-points and 3-points shot analyses were included. Kruskal Wallis test was used to determine the differences between the four Olympic Games. The highest points per match were observed in the 2016 Olympic Games. There was a statistically significant difference between the 2004 and 2016 Olympic Games in regards to time played per match. Although there are minimal differences in shots success percentages, none of them were statistically important. There was no statistically significant difference as regards total points, points made, points attempt, success rate, 2-points made, 2-point attempts, 2-points success rate, 3-points made, 3-points attempt and 3-points success rate in four different Olympic Games (except the time per game). In conclusion although some minimal differences exist, there was found no significant difference in total points, 2- and 3-points attempts in Olympic Games basketball matches. That is why other factors such as assists, rebounds, steals, turnovers and blocks and the tactical components which play a prominent role in the outcome of the game should be investigated in detail.
