Handshake lines in college athletics are outdated and should be removed

and shake lines in general for college athletics is, I mean, it's just like, it's outdated. ... what do you expect after a heated, competitive game sportsmanship, but we got rid of them with COVID and I think that should have just been like the [end].

This is an opinion on sports tradition and etiquette.

Bronny James could probably start for Williams College as a 16-year-old

somebody was just asking me, honestly, I'm not, I'm not qualified to speak on it. I'm not tapped into high school basketball... [but] I'm going to say, I'm gonna say probably just for like just sheer athleticism from, you know, I've had the, the Williams debate a lot division three basketball.

Bronny James went on to be a high-major D1 recruit at USC and was drafted into the NBA, so starting at a D3 school is almost certainly accurate.

Anyone who thinks my shooting slumps are related to my podcasting is an idiot

I always on my podcast say like anybody who thinks that my shooting is related to how much I'm doing a podcast is a fucking [idiot]... if you think that me stepping aside for 45 minutes a week to do a podcast [is the cause]... guys are doing whatever they're doing... hours and hours streaming video games.

The causal link between a weekly 45-minute recording and professional shooting percentages is impossible to prove or disprove.

Jimmy Butler is a great teammate and the media perception of him is wrong

Jimmy Butler is a great teammate. I don't understand the media twist on what he is... he challenges people and he pushes people, and a lot of people aren't willing or wanting to maybe hear that. But in reality, it's just trying to achieve success... He's certainly had a huge impact on my career.

Butler's success in Miami, leading them to multiple Finals appearances, largely validated this 'culture' argument over the previous 'cancer' narrative.

NBA officials might respect me more if I had a tattoo sleeve

I've thought that [getting tattoos]... from just a respect standpoint, you know, like whether it be officials or the opposition... particularly like in the playoffs, I got targeted a lot on defense. I figured maybe that would happen a little bit less if I had some [tattoos] on me.

This is an unprovable psychological claim about referee bias.

Faking a birth certificate to seem younger would do wonders for my NBA career

I think that that [faking a birth certificate] would do wonders for my career. I think unfortunately now that they kind of break it out that I'm 26 and in my third year, which is incredibly old. But if I could retroactively go back and make that happen, I think that would really be advantageous.
