As a sports data analyst with a background in behavioral psychology, I witnessed how the Spurs’ draft picks—Duren-Harpa and Carter-Bryant—transformed fan engagement not just through stats, but through emotional resonance. Their public appearance at local fan events wasn’t performative—it was predictive. Drawing from chess-like positional logic and De Stijl’s geometric harmony, I saw how basketball rituals became social algorithms. This isn’t sport—it’s human architecture.
