HankAnthony Richardson is a better talent than Cam Newton was at the same age
Anthony Richardson is better than Cam Newton right now... When they were both this age, whatever age they were. Yeah... That SEC wasn't the same as today's SEC? No. It's much harder. It's much harder to win in today's SEC.

Interview
Dusty MayEvery great tournament run includes a scary moment early on
It seems like every big run when you look at national champions, when you look at Final Four participants, usually out of their first four or five games, they had one really scary moment... Fortunately for us, we didn't have to bank in an 80 footer or anything like that.
Dusty MayCollege basketball should have one universal ball for every team to use
It seems like we should have one universal ball for college basketball for every team to use... every game we go to we have to practice a different, we have a closet full basketballs, we have to practice with a different one every week depending on where we're playing. So I would think it's time for, for all of us to come together and... have one basketball for the betterment of the game.
Kirk GoldsberryKevin Durant is having the greatest mid-range season in 25 years
Kevin Durant is... arguably having the greatest mid-range season in the history since we've been tracking this for 25 years and he's breathing life into it and it's beautiful to watch... Kevin's almost 60% right now. It's incredible.
Kirk GoldsberryThe Phoenix Suns could win the NBA title primarily using the mid-range game
Devin Booker on his team and Chris Paul on his team, the Phoenix Suns this year have a chance not only win the championship but doing it in the mid-range.
Kirk GoldsberryNikola Jokic is giving up more points on layups than any player in the tracking era
He's giving up more points per game on layups as the closest defender of any player in the player tracking era, which is now 10 years. And so I brought that up because it's in the heat of this... chance for the Nuggets to finally get out of the Western Conference for Jokic to be a three time MVP.
Kirk GoldsberryNo team has won a title with a defense ranked 11th or worse in decades
No NBA team has won the championship with a defense that's ranked 11th or worse in the regular season in a very long time... The Denver Nuggets are not checking that box. So... you get exposed if you play Giannis in a seven game series.
Kirk GoldsberryThe Milwaukee Bucks are the favorites coming out of the Eastern Conference
They deserve to be the favorites. They have the best record without Chris [Middleton] a lot of the year. I think they, they deserve to be the favorites coming out of the East.
Kirk GoldsberryThe NBA should bring back the 'one-and-one' free throw rule
When you make millions of dollars to shoot free throws, we, we don't need you to take one-on-one. Yeah. Like bring the one-on-one to the NBA. I think that's one thing we could do to actually increase the risk for some of these these guys.
