Glory Road

Coin Flip Wins almost exactly half the time
2006 · Drama, History · James Gartner

No consensus on Glory Road. Across 120 matchups it sits at 48% — exactly where 50% puts you, winning and losing in equal measure. An underdog sports story that resonates deeply with voters who know it and registers barely at all with those who don't. Name recognition is the bottleneck, not quality. Fans decide quickly — 1.6s avg vs 3.5s platform average.

49%, 50%, 41%. Voters are genuinely divided regardless of when they encounter Glory Road. No round breaks the tie; no round widens it.

White Men Can't Jump at 49% is as close to a dead heat as the platform produces. Every vote matters in this one. Glory Road dominates He Got Game at 100%. Space Jam at 18% is the one matchup where that confidence disappears.
