The Sixers and the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission unveiled a blue and gold marker dedicated to the late Harvey Pollack last week. Here’s what it looks like:
It reads:
Innovator of basketball statistics and player evaluation. NBA statistician from 1946 to 2014 with the Philadelphia Warriors and 76ers. Known as “Super Stat,” he revolutionized analysis by creating categories such as rebounds, assists, and turnovers. A Temple graduate, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2002. His annual NBA statistical guide was in demand worldwide.
