2024 NBA Preview With Ryen Russillo, People Keep Complaining About The Dunk Contest + Lebron's 50/50 Retirement Tour

The Dunk Contest is unfixable because we have already seen every possible dunk

There's really no way to fix the Dunk Contest. I think they've jumped over the biggest human they can find... maybe it's just that we've seen every cool Dunk and there's only so many cool dunks that you can do.

Mac McClung should be ineligible for the NBA Dunk Contest because he is in the G-League

Mac McClung should be ineligible because he is not in the [NBA]... That is the NBA dunk contest, not the G League dunk contest. If you're going to do that, just bring people off the street.

A G-League player who wins the NBA Dunk Contest should receive a two-week NBA contract

If you win the Dunk contest and you're on a G League team, you should get like a two week contract.

LeBron James would choose a retirement tour over winning a fifth NBA title if he were being honest

If you had true serum with LeBron right now... I think he might take the Retirement Tour [over a fifth title]. The fact that he's pretending that he like will be reluctant in any way on this Retirement Tour is the most ridiculous comment I've ever heard.

I am officially a Caitlin Clark superfan because she agitates people and creates constant debate

I think I'm gonna become a Caitlin Clark super fan because she makes people so, so angry. And I love it... I'm all for anyone who just agitates the world like she does... I'm in on Caitlin Clark all the way.

Randy Moss is not a top 10 Patriot of all time

Randy Moss also, it's crazy to say, but like, I don't know that he's a top 10 patriot of all time. [Because he] didn't win a ring.

Tiger Woods is officially over the hill

I think Tiger might be a little bit over the hill. I think it might have happened. I want him to be in these events 'cause it's fun when he is there. But it also is a bummer when he has to withdraw.

The rule that disqualified Jordan Spieth for an incorrect scorecard is the dumbest rule ever

That Jordan Spieth rule was the, it's the dumbest rule ever because it's not even his, it's his partner filling out the scorecard and he signs it. That's stupid.

Mark Zuckerberg is an animal and would defeat everyone on the PMT crew in a fight

Zuck is a beast... Zuck would take us down. I hate to say it but kind of an animal. He gets smoked and he... yeah.

The Waterdogs are doomed for the regular season if they win the PLL preseason tournament

I don't wanna win that. I don't wanna win the pre-season tournament. I think if we win the pre-season tournament, we're screwed for the regular season.

James Harden winning a title as a third option doesn't invalidate a decade of criticism against him

Does it mean I was wrong about Harden for 10 years if he wins it this year? No... he's the third option now. So I'm still in the clear for a decade worth of takes... If somebody can play bad on purpose to get their way, like what are you gonna be like in a really tight spot in the playoffs?

LeBron James no longer does the little things like boxing out or transition defense

LeBron is the best player I've ever seen... But he doesn't do the little things that I think are really important in basketball anymore. He doesn't do those things anymore... you lose your guy boxing out all the time. You don't get back in transition. You lose guys on these baseline cuts.

The Boston Celtics are the NBA championship favorites if Kristaps Porzingis remains healthy

Boston... if Pingus is healthy, they have probably, they're probably still the favorite... Their one through rate is ridiculous.

The heliocentric style of offense led by Luka Doncic is difficult to win with in the playoffs

The history of the heliocentric offenses are really bad in the playoffs. You basically had one NBA finals guy for a top 20 usage rate in the NBA history... It sucks watching somebody else have the ball all the time... whenever they shut off your drive in the playoffs, now I have to shoot.

Victor Wembanyama is already a massive success and will meet every expectation

He's incredible. Everything about him this year individually for him is a massive success... His personality just seems so genuine in that he's been mentally built to take on the responsibility that he's gonna have to take on for a franchise at a young age.

Jared Goff is a winner and his success with the Lions proves I was right about him

I was right about Jared Goff... he take the Lions the NFC Championship game. He's a quiet leader... I'm very happy for you and your good friend Jared Goff.

I hate expanded playoffs in any sport and prefer leaving teams out

I don't like that there's this many NFL teams in the playoffs. I think it's stupid. I'm big on—I know it's gonna shock you—I like leaving people out of things. I hate expanded anything.
