Saw Jordan in a Spurs game, my son and I attended (lived in SA during the peak of Spurs teams). In person, you would amazed by his skills. We had tickets above and behind the backboard.
George Gervin, Scotty Pippins were some of the others who performed live better than on TV.
Was it the 1985 Bears (played in Super Bowl XX 1986)? If it was I remember that team. Defense... Got to see Cubs here in Houston, the year they won World Series. Some said the world would come to an end if they won? They won and it didn't.

Then there is Devin Hester for the Bears 2006-2013. He was a kick return specialist. Every time he touched the ball it was electrifying as he returned for a touchdown! w/ some regularity. He somehow read the field. I often wondered if that was a solvable mathematics problem.

Wow, Devin Hester, forgot about that guy. Mr Highlights.
I think almost everything can described mathematically. As to solvable as a mathematics I cannot say. Apparently this guy could somehow do it dynamically on a regular basis. So yes, probably some sort least restrictive path solution.

Great Idea! Why not throw AI at it. If no-one is doing so now I will be surprised it will not be done in near future.

Coaches would take serious especially if it actually worked. Then some sort of counter AI system would kick in. AI vs AI, the fight of the century.

The Astros are a hell of baseball team for the city of Houston.

Since when do two national league teams play in the world series?

It was nice to see the Astros win the world series, for sure.

A family member, let's call him Bob, uses Skype on a Ubuntu laptop I set up, to communicate daily with a friend, let's call her Alice, a user of small iDevices who is several timezones and a hemisphere away. This has worked pretty well for a decade or so, mostly interrupted by Alice's propensity for breaking her toys. Recently there was a hiatus of a few weeks, where Alice couldn't get into her Skype account. She set up a new one in her real name a couple of days ago and they reconnected.
Now here's the really weird bit:
In Alice's Skype chat/contacts, Bob appears as (redacted, let's call it Eve), a name neither of them has ever heard of.
In Bob's chat/contacts, Alice appears as the same Eve.

Skype support is really helpful. I've had issues in the past, and they have responded within 24 hours. Please ask your family members to log a support request there.

If you have solved this one, there's a good chance you can guess my starting word!

Ooooo! Closer to a 1 guess you could not have got!

Same second word as you - it did make the third guess pretty obvious!
