Basketball is a sport where every shot matters, and understanding the factors that influence success is critical for optimizing performance.

Is more arc and / or backboard better than not? I’m looking for more contextual data so that I can include it in research that I plan to d...

I personally collected the data, performed the analysis, and developed the findings. AI assisted in structuring the article but that’s about it. If this isn’t allowed on the platform I understand. I can remove my post.
