Lens 34: The Real Ones Are Already Cooking 🍲 (And We’ve Got Receipts)

Packed gyms, rec-league runs—the energy is different this time of year. Teams are locking in, players are shaking off the rust, and highlight reels are already lit across every level.

This is that stretch when the real hoopers get real. The ones who got their reps in all summer? You can tell. The footwork’s sharper. The passes hit right on time. The jumpers are already in it.

Last time, we dug deep into sneakers, tracking highlights, and getting into season mode. Now it’s time to look at where gyms are humming, leagues are live, and stories on the sideline are just as spicy as those on the scoreboard.

From local courts to global game, standout fans to leagues rebuilding and recharging, the real beat of the game goes beyond the buzzer. This week we’re spotlighting players and teams who are doing their thing. Because whether you're chasing a ring or that next bucket with your crew—it matters to us.

What Happens in Vegas…

Some squads have already found their rhythm. The Ultimate Hoops National Tournament in Vegas is one of our favorite events every year, and the NorCal Buckets are mainstays. They fought their way to a Championship game, where they narrowly lost to the locals, Flight, from Nevada.

We know because we’ve seen some great posts on Instagram. Don’t miss their team highlights from their weekend in Vegas….

Getting More from our App (Stat Corrections)

Sometimes, even our AI misses something. A missed stat, a mis-labeled highlight, or a score that doesn’t quite match what happened on the court. You can help us fix it fast, right from within the app. There are three easy ways to this.

1. Game Summary page. Tap the three dots below the final score and select “Report Inaccuracy.” Add as much detail as you can — like which team or play needs to be corrected — and hit Submit.

2. Video Clips. Tap the three dot menu in the top right, click report and tell us what’s off giving as much detail as possible - we’ll make it right.

3. Settings Menu Customer Support. Share general feedback or correction requests. Whether it’s a stat mix-up or a highlight issue, this ensures it goes straight to our team to fix as quickly as possible. We’re constantly improving our AI to deliver the most accurate stats and highlights. Your feedback helps make every game better.
