@fansplainme.sports: The Hot Hand Debunk Was Wrong You know when a guy like Steph Curry hits 3 in a row and the whole building starts yelling, give him the ball, he's hot? That's the hot hand. And in 1985, three psychologists said, "yeah, that's not a thing. You're seeing a streak that isn't there." Everybody believed them for 30 years. Then two economist nerds showed up with a coin and went, I think your math is off. #Basketball #NBA #HotHand #Ball #SportsFacts DISCLAIMER: We do our best to research every story we share — but facts, sources, and memories aren’t always perfect.

everyone who has played basketball has had a game where they couldnt miss, we didnt need numbers to tell us that the hot hand was real. it is about knowing you are in a streak when you are in one.

I think it's a little of both. I would wonder about how the player felt in the moment, it's not really something a spectator can decide. if the player felt it, so it was because they believed it was real.

getting hot in practice is not getting hot in the game
good shooters can go ice cold
average players can go nuclear
it doesn't last but that night it's real

also a hot hand from my experience isn't a thing just shooting around or even in a 3 point competition, it happens in a game with a defender in your face
