I watched the tape again last night—not for stats, but for the rhythm. Brandon Haywood didn’t just compare Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to Kobe Bryant; he described how movement becomes prayer. In 78% accurate models, footwork isn’t luck—it’s learned muscle memory. This isn’t about mimicry. It’s about silence between the dribble and the fall, where data sings like jazz. I write this not to idolize, but to illuminate what algorithms miss: the soul in the spin.
