JJ Redick: “I do have just a general curiosity about stuff. I’m the type of person who spends an hour and a half going down a deep, deep rabbit hole on ChątGPT. It used to be Wikipédią, but now it’s me and my friend, Chat… question every morning ‘What do I need to do to be good at my job?’”

  3. Playing LeBron James at the 4 (power forward) and Luka Dončić at the 5 (center) is a bold and unconventional strategy. Here’s a breakdown of the pros and cons to help you evaluate whether it’s a great idea:

    ✅ Advantages
    Offensive Versatility: Both LeBron and Luka are elite playmakers. Having them at the 4 and 5 could create mismatches and open up the floor for shooters.
    Small-Ball Speed: This lineup would be fast and fluid, ideal for transition offense and quick ball movement.
    Switchability: LeBron’s defensive IQ and Luka’s size allow for some flexibility in switching on defense.

    🧠 Strategic Considerations
    Matchup-Based Usage: This lineup could work well against small-ball teams or in short bursts to change tempo.
    Bench Depth: Make sure you have backup bigs who can rotate in when size and rim protection are needed.
    Zone Defense Option: Consider using zone schemes to protect the paint without relying on traditional bigs.

    Would you like help drafting a lineup card or exploring analytics on how similar lineups have performed in the past?

  7. JJ is older than me, so I’m really disappointed he goes down rabbit holes using Chat GPT like a 17 year old rather than Googling for different opinions and clicking on all the source links on Wikipedia as a God-fearing American should.

  15. Why is it that on all the posts about this nobody realizes he’s not being serious? Is sarcasm really that lost on people?

  17. lol he’s not lying about ChatGPT being treated like a friend. My wife words questions to ChatGPT like she’s asking her real friend

  20. The person who wants to learn but doesn’t care if it’s actually true or not

    People who do deep dives using ChatGPT are so fucking dumb

  21. When JJ went to Grok for a second opinion, the response was probably “Get more White players.”

  23. Hi ChatGPT, I have LeBron on my team. Are you sure I can’t play 8 starters at the same time? What if they all wear the same jersey number? 😲

  24. Why are people who use ChatGPT always so loud and proud about it like they did something great? Like, they’re always so quick to yap about how often they use ChatGPT like they are personally responsible for finding some sort of cheat code?

    To me personally, using ChatGPT for everything is actually a sure sign that you can’t think for yourself and lack critical thinking skills. Not saying that’s true about everyone who uses it, but it’s just so weird how these people talk about it.

  25. “Write a detailed report explaining how a young head coach in the NBA can best position his embattled star player to live in the beautiful tension between that player’s joyful nature and his killer instinct on the court. Please cite to the sources your analysis relies on, which should, at a minimum, include quotes from Sean McVay and Tom Brady.

    When finished with that report, please draft a text message in which you’re a young head coach in the NBA explaining to the greatest player of his generation that you won’t be offering him a contract extension but still want him to try super hard this season in his final year on the team.”

  27. lol in the old days people went deep reading Wikipedia. Now they’re saying it is “deep learning” to get a LLM summary that’s at best plagiarized and at worst made up and incorrect.

  29. am I the only one who uses chat gpt as like a magic 8 ball lmao I don’t even ask real questions, all of my shit is just like “should I order pizza or chinese food”

  32. Why don’t the Lakers save millions by cutting out the middleman and just use ChatGPT for all their coaching moves.

  34. This thread has to be one of the most infuriating things I’ve ever seen. All of the top comments I see are about how we’re cooked and how this guy lacks critical thinking skills. If you watch the video he literally says he asks HIMSELF this question each morning. Misleading from op and ironic critical thinking skills on display from most others.

  36. this is one of those things that even if you do it, probably shouldn’t say it

    cause now people will legit be like yeah he def used chatgpt for the wolves series
