    I hope the quality of the best basketball stats site on the web doesn't diminish, and they continue to maintain or add features.

    Huh? How can you have "creative differences" on b-ball reference? No offense, but aside from the layout it doesn't exactly allow you to bring out your inner creative genius lol. Also, he says he's still gonna be a co-owner of the site, so why not just kick out the guy whom he's having creative differences with? It's his site at the end of the day, seems strange to me he'll leave while still being the co-owner.

    Maybe he wanted to add some experimental formulas? Or something more grandiose?
    You can be very creative when it comes to statistics.

    "Creative differences" means he slept with the CEO's wife.
