Before revision:  We establish that the tests are insufficiently powered to distinguish randomness from alternatives consistent with the variation in NBA shootingpercentages. While multiple testing procedures reveal that one shooter can be inferred to exhibit shooting significantly inconsistent with randomness , we find that participants in a survey of basketball fans over-estimate an average player's streakiness, corroborating the empirical support for the hot hand fallacy .
After revision:  We establish that substantially larger data sets are required to derive an informative measurement of the deviation from randomness in basketball shooting. Although multiple testing procedures reveal that one shooter can be inferred to exhibit shooting significantly inconsistent with randomness , we find that participants in a survey of basketball fans over-estimate an average player's streakiness, corroborating the empirical support for the hot hand fallacy .
