Abstract
The prominence level of a player in the team can be measured in social network analysis. For that reason, the aim of this chapter is to present the centrality metrics that can be applied in team sports analysis. The presentation will also allow identifying the specific formulas for weighted and unweighted graphs and digraphs. Finally, a brief interpretation for team sports analysis will be provided.
