An investigation into the existence (or not) of winning streaks, from Wall Streeet Journal reporter Ben Cohen.
What The Reviewers Say
... captivating.
Cleverly crafted through stories, examples, personal experiences, research studies, expert opinion and theories, The Hot Hand relies heavily on Cohen’s sports reporting expertise, with entertaining illustrations taken from both the basketball court and baseball diamond.
...Cohen returns, always, to the game of basketball, but he pauses along the way to provide fascinating looks at coin tosses, investments, farm yields, and other real-world instances of how probability plays out in the world.
In this meandering debut, Cohen, a Wall Street Journal sports reporter, asks what makes for winning streaks.
