Its first programming will be hosted by Chris Paul, giving fans a new way to see, understand and experience the game through the perspective of one of basketball\u2019s most accomplished players.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe company will also build a broader network of athlete and creator talent, developing programming designed to scale across social, digital and other media platforms.<\/p>\n<p>\nConnor Schell, Paul\u2019s creative partner and founder and CEO of Words + Pictures, will lead premium production and storytelling for the new company. Schell is one of the sports media industry\u2019s leading producers and executives, with a track record that includes The Last Dance and ESPN\u2019s 30 for 30.<\/p>\n<p>\nFor brands, the new company will create new sponsorship and integration opportunities around original athlete-led programming, data-powered storytelling and recurring content franchises.

A 12-time NBA All-Star, four-time All-NBA First Team selection and two-time Olympic gold medalist, Paul ranks second all-time in career assists and steals.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe future of sports media belongs to the people who can bring fans closer to the game,\u201d said Chris Paul. \u201cAthletes understand the details, decisions and moments that fans don\u2019t always get to see. By partnering with Genius Sports, we can combine that perspective with incredible data and technology to educate fans and tell stories in entirely new ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThrough its GeniusIQ platform, Genius Sports provides AI-powered tracking, data and technology across some of the world\u2019s leading sports leagues, including the WNBA and English Premier League, capturing billions of data points that can be transformed into new insights and fan experiences.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cFans increasingly want to hear directly from the athletes who know the game best,\u201d said Mark Locke, CEO of Genius Sports. \u201cChris brings a unique perspective, tremendous relationships across sports and a genuine curiosity about how technology can help tell better stories. By combining that with Genius Sports\u2019 data, AI, technology and media reach, we have an opportunity to build a differentiated sports media company and a powerful new platform for brands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cChris has always had an incredible ability to see the game differently,\u201d said Connor Schell, founder and CEO of Words + Pictures. \u201cCombining that perspective with Genius Sports\u2019 data and technology gives us a powerful foundation for creating sports programming that feels fresh, insightful and entertaining.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe new company expects to launch its first slate of original programming in Q4 2026, led by Chris Paul and powered by Genius Sports\u2019 official sports data and technology.
