Brooke Lopez is a dominant 'system center' for the Bucks

Brooke Lopez dropped 33 tonight. 15 of 18. Brooke Lopez. Absolutely dominant is [Giannis] a system center. I don't know if people are saying, but yeah, that's how that's how bad that is.

While Brooke Lopez had a career-best playoff performance (33 points) in Game 5, he is not considered a 'more dominant' player than Giannis by any serious measure.

The Bucks will win the Eastern Conference Finals in seven games if Trae Young remains out

I do think that if Trae Young doesn't come back in the series, I think the [Bucks] will probably win the series. And seven, I'm gonna say seven. So the Hawks will win another game, but it's just a bummer.

The Bucks won the series in 6 games (4-2), not 7.

Chris Paul deserves all the accolades for his legacy-defining Game 6

Chris Paul legacy game, Skip [Bayless] challenged him. He came through that second half when they came, when the Clippers looked like they were coming back and Chris Paul came back in the game. He ended up with 41. He ended up with an all time great flopping performance. He deserves all of the credit.

Chris Paul did have a legendary 41-point game to close out the Clippers and reach his first Finals.

Players who flop should be legally allowed to be shoved on the court

There was a technical debt that had been accrued on the part of Chris Paul over the course of that game with the flops... at that point, you should be allowed to shove him and actually get your jollies in, make contact with him to even up that debt that exists.

This is a satirical suggestion for rule changes that would never be implemented in the NBA.

The Phoenix Suns will sweep the NBA Finals

Suns in four is our prediction for the NBA finals, this [NBA Finals]. Give Chris Paul the accolades that he deserves.

The Suns actually lost the NBA Finals 4-2 to the Milwaukee Bucks.

I will never be 'Team Bryson' and his caddy quitting is his own fault

I will never in my entire life be team Bryson ever... If he keeps having everyone in his life quit on him, I will continue silently feeling a little bit bad for the guy because I have a heart. [But] the guy makes millions of dollars playing golf and he's got [no friends] because of himself. That should be a wake-up call.

This is a personal stance and assessment of character, making it subjective.

I enjoy watching sports injury videos on the internet

I will stand by that. I like watching injury videos. I don't like watching in real life injuries. Okay. Put me on the other side of a computer and I'll feel okay.

Personal preference; cannot be proven true or false beyond his own admission.

I am angry that NIL wasn't active during my college career

Everyone's, you know, selling merch, being a Twitch streamer and making money off of their likeness... I was in college [in 2017]... kind of pissed that this happened so many years later and not when I was in college.

Subjective feeling of missing out.

College teams that embrace NIL immediately will be the most successful

The teams that embrace the NIL are clearly going to be the best at it... LSU in terms of just straight up embracing it... The second that they announced it, they put out that video... You can either fight against it and lose, or you can try to be the very best at it.

LSU and other schools that moved aggressively into NIL (like Oregon, Ohio State, etc.) have indeed remained powerhouses in recruiting and performance.
