In November, Charania was granted an award for basketball writing besides ours: first place in the Professional Basketball Writers Association's 2024 Blumenthal Memorial Writing Contest, for his co-bylined work with The Athletic's Jon Krawczynski.
These models are often factually wrong and semantically hollow, but the compositions of Shamsy award winners deviate from default human rhythms, making them compelling.
For now, the human mind is more flavorfully stupid than its technological successors. That’s what makes these nominees some of the most innovative writers working today.
Sometimes critics compare the scoopster prose style to the output of a large language model; I find this funny, but off the mark.
