We’re looking for Basketball experts — avid fans, sports journalists, commentators, and former or semi-professional players — to evaluate basketball games. You’ll watch basketball games and answer questions in real time assessing the quality, depth, and accuracy of AI insights, helping us refine our AI’s basketball reasoning, storytelling, and strategic understanding.

• Performance Scoring: Rate the accuracy, insight, and entertainment value of AI sports coverage.

• Context & Understanding: Assess the AI’s grasp of player performance, game flow, and strategic decisions.

• Collaboration: Work with analysts and developers to enhance the AI’s basketball-specific reasoning and realism.
