In partnership with The Sports Shop, The Diversity Movement is highlighting sports teams that draw on Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) as an ingredient to achieve excellence. This month, we turn our attention to the NBA given its leading role in implementing D&I practices. To find our winning team, we needed a way to define team diversity and used the number of international players on a team as an indicator. We selected teams that have 5 or more international players on their current rosters to demonstrate the impact of D&I on play (e.g., different culture, style of play). We discovered that the presence of international players alone had a very slight negative impact on team performance. Success requires inclusive practices and a supportive front office. Businesses see the same thing - getting the most out of a diverse workforce requires a focus on inclusivity. After crunching the data, the Toronto Raptors came out on top. Picking the reigning 2019 champions seems like an easy choice. As we looked deeper, we discovered that the Raptors have a holistic approach to D&I.
