The innocently named “VisualizeIt” blog has gathered a great collection of data visualizations related to sports. Shown above is a great graph of shots taken during the NBA 2007-08 season, showing how much players love making 3-pointers from the corners. There are also links to visualizations of player stats, baseball games, and football games.

I thought they were talking about visualization techniques for basketball. I have used Mental Champions CDs and they work so well.
