My wife works with R and data visualization in the environmental health field and reading the F5 helped me better appreciate what she does for a living and initiate fun conversations about her career that were a lot more meaningful than "so how was your day." That your subject matter happened to be basketball was just icing on the cake. Thank you for your work--we're sad to see the newsletter go, but very pleased with your destination! Congrats and GO NY GO NY GO!

Wow, big big big congratulations to you! While we will definitely miss your newsletters (I, for one, will), and even if we didn't comment much (or at all, in my case), please do know that all of us greatly appreciate the content you put out. Reading your stuff has opened up my eyes to data analytics and allowed me to view it in a more entertaining way (it helps that it's about something fun, i.e. basketball). "Let us not be sad that something has ended, but glad that we got to experience it in the first place." You're going to kill it at your new job - the Knicks got a good one! All the best!

Thanks Owen for your work! I started following in the beginning and your work has really inspired me to learn R and get started in Data Science. I always thought of NBA analytics being a pipe dream and pursued another path, but seeing your passion in your work and the fruits of your labor has shown me that it is possible to do data for the NBA! Congrats with the work opportunity! BING BONG.

Congrats!! As a human, before an analytics expert, do you automatically have an opinion on how to improve the NYK instinctively....? Or do you consciously suppress judgment until you dig into the metrics? ..and how often do those paths align?

Congratulations!!! I have a question: if someone who is not a paid subscriber currently wants to access the paid archives later, would that be possible?
