Multivariate

For my multivariate display I chose to take statistics from the original "Big 3" that was assembled to play for the Boston Celtics some years ago.  I wanted to tell the story of why these 3 players work so well together, by showing some of there statistics for this current season.  My three variables were the 3 players: Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen.  For each I looked up there statistics to date, and displayed it in a line graph, using different symbols and colors to differentiate the players statistics.  My main goal in this display was to show how even these players stand out when lined up together on a simple graph.  As you can see the three lines virtually look as if they are one.  This shows that each player is making a solid contribution at each and every one of these 4 categories.  It shows how well rounded each player is to be able to contribute on both the defensive end and the offensive.  The story here ends hopefully with the Boston Celtics hanging there 18th banner later on in the season.  (seeing as these are current statistics)
