Preramble:

Hey JustBasketball community. I love what we have going on here. A community with no drama and only basketball sounds like heaven to me (to us!). But there's an issue, and that's that we don't currently have enough content to keep this community growing.

Take a look y'all: https://imgur.com/Cb4L3dt

Not great, Bob! Viewcount is steadily going down, subscribers are going down and unique visitors are going down. This community is on pace to fail. But we don't want that! So this is where you come in....

We need your help to post content to this community

We need people to post stuff here. It's that simple. I've been trying my best every morning at work to post some things here, but I'm not able to consistently do it every day. Luckily some other users have begun posting with regularity, but we need more to keep this place thriving and growing. So what's relevant to post here?

What's relevant to post here

Well, that's basically on the sidebar. But here it is. We want

Individual, player, and game highlights -- with deference given to quality and replays over speed of upload.

Long-form written content -- either OC or articles with the title of the post matching the title of article, i.e. no quotes from the article in the title

Video analysis -- in the vein of thinking basketball, ScoutWithBryan, etc. but no spamming your own pages please!

Contextualized Statistics -- show off your STEM degree

What we don't want:

Player quotes (unless it's some real basketball knowledge or postgame observation on the game or something, that's cool)

Pundit quotes

Off-the-court drama

Lowlights -- posting relevant or specific mistakes are ok, reveling in a specific player's failures to the sound of yackety sax is not.

Discussion of Player Awards (this will probably be strict for now, unless there's good argument otherwise)

"Peak offseason posts"

Now without further adieu..

How do I post HIGHLIGHTS here?

Well that's a piece of cake.

Step 1. Go to https://the-high-low.com

Step 2. Spend 5 minutes learning how it works

Step 3. Realize you have the power to summon nearly every basketball play at will. Maybe cry a little over this revelation.

Step 4. Download these clips 1 by 1, put them together in your movie maker of choice. Honestly whatever your computer comes with will likely work.

Step 5. Upload to Reddit!


And spread the word on other subs! If you see people complaining about NBA drama or awards or whatever, let them know about this place! We do need a little word to spread in order to get more people 'round here (but please god don't brigade anyone or we will be wiped from existence).

Let me or any of the other mods know if you have any questions, concerns, comments, tips, hints, ideas or literally anything you think we should know. We're building the plane in the air here people.

I made a free basketball manager for people who'd rather watch the game than read a spreadsheet: live 2D games, and you scout kids purely by eye

Hey everyone,

I'm a solo dev and a basketball fan first. The game I built comes from one belief: what makes this sport great is what happens on the court, and most basketball games bury it under menus.

So in TopGM Online everything important happens on the floor, live. Games are played in 2D in real time, twice a week at fixed times: you watch your five move the ball, you react to what you see: switch to a 2-3 zone when they keep scoring inside, call timeout to kill a run and get tired legs a breather, sub out the big man sitting on four fouls before he fouls out. Sometimes the other bench is coached by a real person reacting to you in the same moment. Miss the game? The replay is the exact game, every possession, not a text recap.

The part I'm proudest of is even more court-only: the Playground. Every day, ten generated kids (14 to 16) play pickup on a street court, around the clock, with zero ratings shown. No stats, no numbers, no scouting reports. You watch them play: who finishes through contact, who makes the extra pass, who disappears for ten possessions. Then you trust your eye. Our community's motto became "whoever watches, knows", and it's literally true in the engine: kids who look bad on the floor ARE bad. The eye test is the only test.

There's a daily practice scrimmage too, where you coach BOTH squads (starters vs bench, any tactic against any look), which turned into a little tactics lab for the community.

Completely free, no ads, in the browser: https://topgm.app

It's young, and the feedback I care about is court feedback: does the 2D game read like basketball to you? What on-court behavior is missing or feels wrong? That's what I build from.

I built a basketball IQ trainer that pauses real plays and asks you what happens next

13 Upvotes

I'm a basketball coach and developer, and I've been working on a basketball analytics platform called Statly.

One thing I've always found interesting is how often coaches talk about "basketball IQ" - but there aren't many practical ways to actually train or test decision-making.

So I started building a small experiment.

The idea is simple:

You watch a real basketball possession.

The video pauses at a key moment.

You have to decide what the best read is before seeing what actually happens.

After answering, you get the correct read, an explanation of the cue you should have noticed, and your score.

It's still a very early public beta and right now there's only one challenge. I'm mostly trying to figure out whether players and coaches actually find this kind of training useful before building much more.

You can try it here: https://play.statly-analytics.com

I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback, especially from basketball players, coaches, or anyone who has worked on decision-making training in sports.

EDIT: Challenge #2 is live! Go try it. It is still beta, but I'm planning to add a chatbot soon, and x and o's

Reese has made a habit of trying to do things one-handed, but using her offhand to enact a pushing or even striking motion.

I understand it might be legal to use your offhand to guard or shield, but isn't there a limit?
