About Hoopsmachine
Hoopsmachine is a real-time basketball news aggregator. We monitor sources and automatically group coverage of the same story, so you can compare reporting in one place.
Real-time sources
We ingest RSS feeds from major outlets, beat reporters, team sites, and independent analysts every few minutes. Coverage links take you to the original publisher.
Story clustering
Articles about the same story are grouped using semantic similarity and AI-assisted classification. Automated grouping can make mistakes; appearing together does not establish independent confirmation.
Ranking and editorial adjustments
Stories are ranked by freshness, source authority, corroboration, league relevance, engagement, and social interest. Editors may select or adjust important stories, and those placements are labeled. Automated selection and classification do not mean every story has been reviewed by a person.
News days
Days follow Eastern Time. A day lists every story active that day: stories first seen that day plus earlier stories that were still being updated. Past days show article times on the Eastern clock; today shows how long ago they were published.
How source indicators work
Source indicators reflect our configured assessment of an outlet's authority and track record. They do not mean that we have independently fact-checked a specific article. Compare the original reporting, including its publication dates and attribution.
Coverage and discovery
We cover NBA, WNBA, NCAA men's and women's basketball, G League, and FIBA. Search across coverage, follow teams and players, or subscribe to a public feed.
Keyboard shortcuts
On league pages and search results: Alt+J and Alt+K move between stories, Enter opens the highlighted story, Alt+O opens its original article in a new tab, and Esc clears the highlight. Shortcuts pause while a link, button or field has focus.
Corrections and feedback
Report incorrect grouping, attribution, or site information to [email protected]. Include the Hoopsmachine story URL and the relevant original article. Corrections to original reporting should also be directed to its publisher.
