  The debate surrounding the hot hand in the NBA has been ongoing for many
years. However, many of the previous works on this theme has focused on only
the very next sequential shot attempt, often on very select players. This work
looks in more detail the effect of a made or missed shot on the next series of
shots over a two-year span, with time between shots shown to be a critical
factor in the analysis. Also, multi-year streakiness is analyzed, and all
indications are that players cannot really sustain their good (or bad) fortune
from year to year.
