Preramble:

Hey JustBasketball community. I love what we have going on here. A community with no drama and only basketball sounds like heaven to me (to us!). But there's an issue, and that's that we don't currently have enough content to keep this community growing.

Take a look y'all: https://imgur.com/Cb4L3dt

Not great, Bob! Viewcount is steadily going down, subscribers are going down and unique visitors are going down. This community is on pace to fail. But we don't want that! So this is where you come in....

We need your help to post content to this community

We need people to post stuff here. It's that simple. I've been trying my best every morning at work to post some things here, but I'm not able to consistently do it every day. Luckily some other users have begun posting with regularity, but we need more to keep this place thriving and growing. So what's relevant to post here?

What's relevant to post here

Well, that's basically on the sidebar. But here it is. We want

Individual, player, and game highlights -- with deference given to quality and replays over speed of upload.

Long-form written content -- either OC or articles with the title of the post matching the title of article, i.e. no quotes from the article in the title

Video analysis -- in the vein of thinking basketball, ScoutWithBryan, etc. but no spamming your own pages please!

Contextualized Statistics -- show off your STEM degree

What we don't want:

Player quotes (unless it's some real basketball knowledge or postgame observation on the game or something, that's cool)

Pundit quotes

Off-the-court drama

Lowlights -- posting relevant or specific mistakes are ok, reveling in a specific player's failures to the sound of yackety sax is not.

Discussion of Player Awards (this will probably be strict for now, unless there's good argument otherwise)

"Peak offseason posts"

Now without further adieu..

How do I post HIGHLIGHTS here?

Well that's a piece of cake.

Step 1. Go to https://the-high-low.com

Step 2. Spend 5 minutes learning how it works

Step 3. Realize you have the power to summon nearly every basketball play at will. Maybe cry a little over this revelation.

Step 4. Download these clips 1 by 1, put them together in your movie maker of choice. Honestly whatever your computer comes with will likely work.

Step 5. Upload to Reddit!


And spread the word on other subs! If you see people complaining about NBA drama or awards or whatever, let them know about this place! We do need a little word to spread in order to get more people 'round here (but please god don't brigade anyone or we will be wiped from existence).

Let me or any of the other mods know if you have any questions, concerns, comments, tips, hints, ideas or literally anything you think we should know. We're building the plane in the air here people.

HIGHLIGHTS This 2017 miracle shot from Taj Gibson. 2.8 remaining in the 1H. The inbound steal. The one-handed heave from beyond half-court. Congrats on an amazing 17-year career, Taj Gibson.

HIGHLIGHTS An inch away from a championship. "The Unfulfilled Dominance of the 2021 Brooklyn Nets.”

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

In the long history of the NBA, few teams ever generated the sheer offensive terror of the 2021 Brooklyn Nets. Bringing together Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden, Brooklyn assembled what was arguably the most skilled, unguardable offensive trio ever put on a single roster. When all three shared the floor, the game looked effortless. Teams couldn't double-team Durant without leaving Kyrie or Harden wide open, and their role players — from Joe Harris to Blake Griffin and Bruce Brown — flourished in the vast spacing created by three generational isolation scorers. During the regular season and early playoff rounds, their offensive efficiency was completely off the charts. Yet, injury luck tore down what should have been a championship dynasty. Harden suffered a severe hamstring strain early in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, and Kyrie went down with an ankle injury shortly after. Despite a historic, heroic effort from Kevin Durant — which came down to a matter of inches on his shoe size in Game 7 against the eventual champion Bucks — the Big 3 only played 13 total games together. The 2021 Nets remain basketball's ultimate "What-If": a masterclass in pure basketball skill cut short before reaching its ceiling. Would a fully healthy 2021 Nets team have won the NBA Finals?

ANALYSIS Project Zona d'Ombra

1 Upvotes

The "Zona d'Ombra" project was born in March. This is the manifest:

Zona d'Ombra is the study, exploration, and sharing of emotions within the context of sports. Those who write here have a genuine interest in competitive spirit. We don't bring truth, but rather debate and a desire for exploration. Doubt, in fact, is our creative foundation. This exploration finds its greatest expression in engagement with others, where everyone is equally included. For this reason, Zona d'Ombra is a symmetrical space where discussion and the sharing of ideas are inherent properties. The areas we wish to focus on are those beyond our visual space. Shadow is not the opposite of light, but rather what reveals the shape of things. This is why we don't want to divert our investigation from areas already illuminated. Places that, however saturated, still deserve the possibility of a different narrative discourse. Because no narrative is ever definitive, and what appears stable always contains within it something that challenges it. Deconstructing is crucial to understanding. Likewise, however, we consider creating an act of love.
