Hot Hand Project

Pick the real NBA streak out of the coin flips

It does not explain the hot-hand fallacy at you — it puts real NBA shot data in front of you and asks you to pick out the streak, then shows you how randomness produces the same shape. Getting it wrong is the argument. The headline is a dare rather than a lecture: you think you can spot a hot streak, you can’t. Sit with it for five minutes and you stop trusting your own eyes on a box score.
