Serena Williams could beat Roger Federer

I'm going to say it. I think Serena could beat Roger Federer. Ooh, okay. I'm actually going to be the first person to say that, so come at me.

Serena Williams is widely considered the greatest female player ever, but she has stated herself she would struggle against top-tier men's players like Federer.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will appear in a blockbuster movie as himself within the year

The only thing Silver hasn't done yet, I don't think, I can't recall him appearing in a movie as himself, like a big blockbuster movie, but I guarantee within the next year he's going to do it.

Adam Silver has not had a notable cameo in a major blockbuster movie as himself within that timeframe.

The Bulls front office vote for Executive of the Year was a self-vote by Gar Foreman

Gar Foreman, he got a single vote for executive of the year. ... I still think it was himself I think it was himself it's like James Harden getting one vote for defensive player of the year yeah survey says it was himself

It's a secret ballot, so it is unverifiable, but fits the 'Fire GarPax' narrative of the era.

I can beat a 54-year-old Michael Jordan one-on-one

I mean, I always think of somebody who's a lot older than me. In the 50s, I have a pretty good shot of winning. ... No, I was just saying that because he's pretty older now. I think I have a pretty good shot at it.

The match never happened, but it's a legendary hypothetical that defined Monk's draft entry.

I have better shooting range than Steph Curry

My confidence is in the all-time high, so I'm always going to think I have a better range, even though I don't. ... [I've] got better [range]. Period.

Steph Curry is the greatest shooter in NBA history; Malik Monk, while a good shooter, has not surpassed Curry's range or efficiency.

John Calipari intentionally finishes in the Final Four instead of winning titles to avoid NCAA sanctions

Calipari, yeah, he's crooked. He's rigged. But guess what? He's not drawing all that attention to himself by flaunting his rings. He's staying right behind. He's got his rabbit pace car that he's chasing. And he's fine. That's how he gets away with it. That's why he's slick Cal.

Hot TakeCBBFireSarcastic
This is a satirical theory about Calipari's lack of titles at Kentucky compared to his high seedings.

Brooklyn artisanal craft bourbon is better than Kentucky bourbon

Your bourbon is second best in America to Brooklyn artisanal craft bourbon. ... Brooklyn is where you find the best bourbon in America. ... Japanese whiskey, however, is better than both Brooklyn and Kentucky.

Hot TakeLifeScorchingSarcastic
Kentucky bourbon is the global gold standard; Brooklyn 'urban bourbon' is a satirical punchline.

Kentucky has effectively won the last ten national titles if you ignore specific outcomes

Actually, Kentucky, when you really think about it, Kentucky has won the last ten national titles, when you think about it that way.

Fact ClaimCBBMediumSarcastic
Kentucky only won one national title (2012) in that ten-year window.

Reggie Bush was a bust in the NFL

Reggie Bush, who's been pretty much a bust. So it's Reggie Bush, Lendell White, Vince Young, and Matt Leinart. Wow.

Bush had a productive 11-year career with over 5,000 rushing yards and a Super Bowl ring, but failed to meet 'generational talent' expectations.

The US needs to replace Uncle Sam with James Harrison as its national rebrand

The US is in need of a rebrand. Uncle Sam, I'm kind of sick of Uncle Sam, like the tall guy with the beard. Just put James Harrison in the Uncle Sam outfit. No country will fuck with us.

OpinionPoliticsMediumSarcastic
The US government has not officially rebranded using James Harrison.
