There was a total of 78 matches played by 24 teams in two groups of analysis: NBA, participants in the European Championship who played in the NBA season of 2014-2015 (n = 26); Euroleague, participants in the European Championship who played in the Euroleague season of 2014-2015 (n = 82). The players\u2019 performance variables were normalized to the time they spent on the court. To identify which variables best discriminated between the NBA and the Euroleague performance profiles, a descriptive discriminant analysis was conducted. Structure coefficients (SC) from the matrix greater than |0.30| were interpreted as meaningful contributors to discriminating between the groups. The results revealed a significant function (p = 0.008, canonical correlation of 0.51, \u039b = 0.74, reclassification = 84.2%) and substantial performance differences in game-related statistics much related to the influence of body size (body height and mass), such as two-point field goals made (SC = 0.42) and missed (SC = 0.40), free-throws made (SC = 0.55), defensive rebounds (SC = 0.62), blocks (SC = 0.48) and suffered fouls (SC = 0.34). No differences were found at the level of game-related statistics indirectly related to perception, such as assists, turnovers or steals. Also, the greater body size in NBA players was likely related to higher variability in performance, thus, being an important topic for coaches and recruiters to analyse.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2478\/hukin-2018-0030","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,21]],"date-time":"2019-01-21T12:30:45Z","timestamp":1548073845000},"page":"225-233","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Basketball Game-Related Statistics that Discriminate Between European Players Competing in the NBA and in the Euroleague"],"prefix":"10.5114","volume":"65","author":[{"given":"R\u016btenis","family":"Paulauskas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport and Health, Lithuanian University of Educational Sciences , Vilnius , Lithuania"}]},{"given":"Nerijus","family":"Masiulis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Biomedicine, Lithuanian Sports University , Kaunas , Lithuania"}]},{"given":"Alejandro","family":"Vaquera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Science, University of Leon , Leon , Spain"}]},{"given":"Bruno","family":"Figueira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Biomedicine, Lithuanian Sports University , Kaunas , Lithuania"}]},{"given":"Jaime","family":"Sampaio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center in Sports Sciences, Health Sciences and Human Development, CIDESD , Vila Real , Portugal"}]}],"member":"3061","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023012005140812197_j_hukin-2018-0030_ref_001_w2aab2b8c26b1b7b1ab2b1b1Aa","unstructured":"Balciunas M, Stonkus S, Abrantes C, Sampaio J.
