Winning Bias: A tendency to overrate how well an individual performed because his team won and underrate how well an individual performed because his team lost.
Here's what this might look like based on the outcome of the 1993 Bulls-Suns game:
Chicago wins:
To explain Chicago winning, analysts focus on Pippen and Jordan (56 points, 20 rebounds, 12 assists combined), Scott Williams' key rebounding off the bench (seven in 22 minutes), the key shot by Paxson and the block by Grant to end the game.
Chicago loses:
The post-game explanation focuses on a failure to finish the game well (9 fourth quarter points, all by Jordan), a lack of rebounding (Grant and Williams were insufficient relative to the Suns big men) and atrocious free throw shooting (11 for 20 as a team), namely by Jordan and Pippen (seven for 13 combined).
