NBA players are just as tough as hockey players

I think it's also that people try to, like, go at NBA players like we're soft, but we're just as tough [as hockey players].

The toughness of athletes in different sports is purely a matter of opinion.

The 76ers should sit Ben Simmons for his entire rookie year

Honestly, I feel like they're not going to want to rush it. Like why would you rush back a number one pick and risk him getting hurt again? So why not just sit him out the whole year?

Ben Simmons did indeed miss the entire 2016-17 season with a foot injury.

I don't wash my apples because tap water builds immunity

I can't say that I do [wash apples], no. I subscribe to the thought that if you drink tap water, you're just building up immunity to germs.

Subjective lifestyle choice.

The Cavaliers are finished in the 2016 NBA Finals

Cavs, done or finished. It's looking pretty bad, man. I actually thought they were going to win tonight. It's looking pretty bad. I'm going to say they're finished.

Cleveland won the series, making this a classic 'Freezing Cold Take' from an NBA peer.

I didn't play for Team USA in 2016 partly because of the Zika virus

At first, it was the United States thing, and then I realized that Zika virus was my built-in out. So I was like, all right, I don't even have to play anymore. I can just chalk it up to Zika.

Blake did indeed miss the 2016 Olympics, officially due to recovery from quad surgery.

I wanted to jump over a convertible for the Dunk Contest but Kia made me use an Optima hood

I wanted to jump over a convertible... But I wasn't allowed to. It had to be a Kia Optima... there's no way I was going to make it over the entire thing, over Baron Davis in the sunroof, so I opted for the hood, and then everyone was pissed that I jumped over the hood.

This is a firsthand account of the event from the participant.

DeAndre Jordan makes at least 60% of his free throws in practice

Honestly, he goes over and shoots on the side after we're done and everybody else is shooting. He probably shoots at least 60% in practice, maybe more.

Typical 'practice vs game' disparity for poor free throw shooters; Jordan's career game average at this point was around 42%.
