Welcome to the Lens V5. The Number Five…
Consecutive gold medals the US Men are going for this week 🥇
Championships for the San Antonio Spurs 🏆
Championships for Kobe Bryant while playing for the Lakers 8️⃣ 2️⃣4️⃣
The number of the most exciting player in the League right now (and arguably the world), Anthony Edwards 🐜
Interestingly, the same number that the greatest player in Timberwolves🐺 history, Kevin Garnett, wore when he played for the Celtics ☘️
Our favorite player, Duncan Robinson, wears five twice 5️⃣5️⃣, which is also the number of points MJ scored in his Double Nickel game at MSG - more on that later.
Lets go! 🚀
Player Spotlights
Like Superman 🦸, William Custis effortlessly moves from his day job to his life on the court, and lives up the his nickname of the Corporate Hooper. This play is all effort mixed with a bit of magic at Ultimate Hoops New York.
This has to be the dunk of the week ⛹🏿♂️ and we’re not sure how SportsCenter missed it! VA Hoops League shout out to Jaleel!
Up North 🇨🇦 , in the 902, Kyle Munro has been channeling Dirk Nowitzki as he tears up the league. Check out this move!
New: Career Stats are in the SportsVisio app
We love adding new features that you’ve been asking for. We’ve heard it often - hey, would be great to be able to see my career totals from all of my leagues and all of the teams I’ve played on. Sorted! 🏀
This week, when you refresh the app, you’ll see Career Totals on your profile page (Games, Points, Boards, Assists, Steals, Blocks and Shooting Percentages). You’ll also see your Career Highs, with links to each game so you can recall that one time you nailed 11 treys. Here’s what it looks like in the app, if you are a legend named Mak 🐐.

No More Ankle Sprains
A function-focused young brand out of NYC claims to have solved basketball’s biggest problem. From rec leagues to the NBA, ankle sprains cause the most missed playing time. Andiem takes a revolutionary approach by focusing on shoe-body connection and balance, rather than motion restriction.
Andiem worked with all star orthopedic surgeons, sneaker execs, and athletes to give athletes “More Days” – And + Diem. The Pivot 1.0 provides a competitive edge in balance and shoe-body connection, unlocking agility, freedom, and confidence on the court.
