Indiana has found its next long-term head coach in Tom Crean

Has Indiana found its next head coach in Tom Crean? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think so. I mean, Tom Crean's done a really good job, I think, growing with this particular team... Once he cleaned out some guys over the last summer, yeah, I think they have.

Crean was fired by Indiana in March 2017, just one year after this interview, following an NIT appearance.

Kansas will win the 2016 National Championship

I thought it was going to be Michigan State and North Kansas. And I like Kansas to win. I liked them before the tournament. I like them now.

Villanova won the 2016 National Championship. Kansas lost to Villanova in the Elite Eight.

Matthew Dellavedova is a better player than Kyrie Irving

Deli is better than Kyrie. How does your starting point guard only have four assists when the team scores 124? Kyrie is more worried about his brand than actually winning.

Kyrie Irving is an 8-time All-Star and NBA Champion; Dellavedova was a role player. This is widely considered a hilariously bad take in hindsight.

LeBron James will announce he is re-signing with the Cavs by re-following them on Twitter

I actually think what's happening is that LeBron unfollowed the Cavs and that when he signs his option... he's going to announce it by refollowing the Cavs. It's such a shitty, like not cool thing to do, but it's so lame that it perfectly fits something that he would think was a good idea.

LeBron did re-sign with the Cavs that summer, but there was no grand 're-follow' announcement; he simply continued playing and eventually left in 2018.

Birthdays are only for girls once you turn 20 years old

Birthdays are for chicks now, right? Like after you turn 20 years old, birthdays are for chicks. Hand over your man card, JJ [Watt]. Birthdays aren't men's stuff anymore.

This is a purely subjective lifestyle/masculinity take.

Vince Wilfork is just a fat blob who stands in place

All the strength that I have accumulated over the years, it's not going anywhere. I'm not going to lose it. That's what Vince Wilfork is. He's a fat blob now.

Wilfork was 34 and near the end of his career, though calling him a 'fat blob' is a subjective characterization of a professional athlete's size.
