Shooting Successfully With Any Footwork in Basketball
I came across Brian McCormick's Hard2Guard Player Development Newsletter, which focuses on coaching basketball, via Mike Klinzing's Hoops Head Podcast Newsletter (Hoops Head inspired one of my recent memories articles). I had almost included Mr. McCormick's On Being a Generalist in my NLJ 6th Birthday Blogging Wisdom Series, but I ended up saving it for...basketballcoaching
Can you go 82-0?
If you’ve been anywhere near basketball social media in the past week, you’ve probably seen the numbers 82-0 trending. The reason? A deceptively simple browser game at 82-0.com that asks one tantalizing question: can you build an NBA starting five that goes undefeated? The answer is almost always no. And that’s why millions of people can’t stop playing it. The Setup: Randomness Meets StrategySports
No Grand Slam Winners in 2026 French Open Men’s R16
I watched a good amount of most of tennis' grand slams from about 2000 through 2013 or so. I was a Roger Federer fan, and for a good chunk of that period, you could always count on Mr. Federer playing late into the Slam (he had a record 23 consecutive Semifinals appearances from Wimbledon 2004...french openjunited
Fully loaded and ready to win
Every offseason comes with a thousand promises. Hype is cheap. But what the San Francisco 49ers have assembled heading into the 2026 NFL season isn't hype — it's hardware waiting to happen. With a retooled receiving corps, a defense poised to reclaim its identity, and one of the most intriguing rookie classes in recent franchise history, Kyle Shanahan's squad is built to make a serious run at Super Bowl LXI. Last season ended in heartbreak in Seattle. Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams went down with ...Sports

Second Best NBA Team of the 2000s
User Matt15 posed a question on the RealGM Basketball Player Comparisons board: What was the second best NBA team of the 2000s (2000-01 through 2009-10) after the 2000-01 Los Angeles Lakers. I'll begin by noting that one could quibble with the 2000-01 Lakers in the top spot. While that Lakers team had a historically dominant...nbasports
Unique Individual Scoring Games in NBA History
I recently published a new NBA research project inspired by Bam Adebayo’s 83-point eruption on March 10, 2026. Noting that Bam Adebayo is a modest scorer in the pantheon of NBA players who scored 60 points in a single game (much less 70 or 80 points in a game), I created a comprehensive survey evaluating...learning (2026)nba

Swimming On The Deep End
My update about swimming late last month aged very fast. Two weeks after, I got moved up to level 5, which means that all of my lessons are now fully on the deep side of the swimming pool. It's going well and I enjoy it a lot. Once I get the Diploma A, I'll be allowed to go swimming laps at the swimming pool.swimmingsports
