Where Stats Meet Heart ❤️

Last week, a post on the SportsVisio Instagram page caught my attention.

It was a highlight for a Southern Alberta 🇨🇦 Hoops Hub player—just another post showcasing how our AI precisely captures stats and moments. But what happened next was different. The player’s parent commented on the post:

That single line stayed with me. It wasn’t just about the stats or the highlight reel. It was about connection—a father seeing his son’s effort recognized, framed through the lens of technology.

Moments like this remind me why our founder Jason Syversen started SportsVisio: to break down barriers, make AI accessible, and create space for these magical, deeply human moments.

It’s not about the technology itself. It’s about what it makes possible. When parents, players, and communities come together around the game, AI becomes the invisible thread, tying it all together.

This is where the magic of AI ✨ truly happens—on and off the court.

Shaq vs. the NBA Three-Point Revolution

Shaquille O’Neal reignited a fiery debate this week: Are teams shooting too many threes, and is it making the game less exciting?

For Shaq—a legend of dominant post-play—the shift to perimeter shooting represents a cultural shift in the game he once ruled.

But is the modern NBA really “boring,” or is it simply evolving into a different kind of art form?🤔

The rise of the three-point shot brings new layers of strategy. Others, like Shaq, see it as diluting the grit and physicality that once defined basketball.

So, we’re asking:

Sneak Of The Week: The Return of a Legend: Air Jordan 3 ‘Black Cement’

Sneaker heads, rejoice!

The Air Jordan 3 ‘Black Cement’ is making its grand comeback, dropping over the weekend. With its iconic elephant print, and visible Air unit, this sneaker doesn’t just walk onto the court—it demands attention.

Even our AI might have a hard time staying focused on the ball during highlight videos when these kicks 👟 are on display.

Black Cements in motion? That’s a highlight in itself. Maybe we’ll need to add a “Shoe Cam” feature to keep up. 🏀🏀
