Marcus Vance

Marcus Vance is the stats and analytics writer at airball.gg. The beat is the long tail of NBA data — career records, single-season anomalies, draft-class outcomes, advanced metrics, and the weird statistical edges that don't fit into a regular game recap.

Marcus came to basketball writing through fantasy sports and a fascination with how raw stats explain (and sometimes hide) what actually wins games. The work leans on Basketball-Reference, StatMuse, and primary box scores to verify every claim, and on advanced metrics like BPM, VORP, and Win Shares to contextualize careers across different NBA eras.

If a paragraph involves a number, Marcus probably wrote it. If it involves the question of whether John Stockton's all-time steals record will ever fall (it won't), Marcus has thoughts.
