Sorry, MJ, Curry’s Olympic “Golden Dagger” tops “The Last Shot.”

Fiery debate that continues in the SportsVisio offices lately. 👇

Did Curry’s “Golden Dagger” shot, securing the Gold Medal for Team USA’s Men’s Basketball, outshine MJ’s legendary “Last Shot” in the 1998 NBA Finals?

Put me in the Curry camp. That shot wasn’t just a game-winner—it was a defining moment on the world stage. Jordan’s shot may have sealed his sixth NBA title, but Curry’s clutch three-pointer secured Olympic gold and cemented his place as the greatest shooter in the game.

In an era of fierce international competition, Curry’s shot carried the weight of national pride and the pressure of global expectations.

For my money, it’s the clutchest game-sealer in hoops history.

Player Spotlights

Here are the hoopers who pushed our AI stat-tracking technology into overdrive this week. These players deserve the gold. 🥇

League Spotlight: VA Hoop League

The VA Hoops League

Born in a small church gym on Virginia Beach in 2010, the VA Hoop League was created to fill the void of high-quality adult basketball in the area.

Frustrated by lackluster men’s leagues, founders Rob Murray and Justin Aube set out to build a league “by players, for players,” combining their passion for the game with a top-tier experience for both players and fans.

Full stats, video highlights, and prizes quickly drew in ex-college and NBA talent, turning VA Hoops into a competitive battleground.

Partnering with 7 Cities Hooptapes elevated the league’s profile, bringing a professional edge to their social media presence and shifting VA Hoops from a casual run to a premier summer league.

Now, as a proud client of SportsVisio, they’ve integrated our AI-powered stats and video highlights to take their game to the next level. Their sights are set on becoming one of the nation’s elite leagues, with dreams of NCAA certification and NBA participation. 🚀

But for Rob and the team, it’s all about quality, making smart investments, and shaping the future of basketball, one game at a time.
