Charge calls are the worst part about basketball and should be banned

I don't understand what's a charge and what's a block anymore, so you've got to just get rid of one of them, and you're not going to get rid of the block call. [Charges] are the worst part about basketball in general.

A subjective opinion on the quality of game rules.

The Raptors are the most likely team to beat LeBron James and the Cavaliers in the 2018 East

Probably the Raptors. The Raptors are so good right now. I think I believe in them, too. They are very good right now. All the guys are playing well. Everybody on their team is playing well.

The Cavaliers swept the Raptors in the second round of the 2018 playoffs (the 'LeBronto' series).

Top football and basketball conferences should break away from the NCAA

I think the biggest thing that could change the NCAA as a whole is if the top 100 basketball and top 100 football conferences or teams – just completely break off from the NCAA and form their own thing. I think that's the best thing they could do because then they can play by their own rules in a sense.

While they haven't fully 'broken off', the creation of the CFP and the massive conference realignments (SEC/Big Ten dominance) show the sport moving in this exact direction.

NBA players are completely open about having been paid in college

[Do you talk to guys in the NBA circles that you know got paid? Are they open about it?] Absolutely. Yeah. And it's just kind of like, yeah, of course I got paid. Why wouldn't I have gotten paid? Yeah, that's pretty much what it is. It's like, yeah, I got paid. Who cares? They're gone now.

This matches numerous reports and former players' admissions over the years about the 'under-the-table' economy in college sports.

Wisconsin will beat Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game after Ohio State beats Michigan.

Ohio State is going to beat Michigan, then meet us [Wisconsin] in the Big Ten championship game, and Wisconsin's going to beat Ohio State.

Ohio State beat Michigan, but Wisconsin played Penn State in the Big Ten Championship (and lost). Ohio State made the playoff without playing in the conference title game.

The Warriors' 73-win record means nothing if they don't win the championship

My thing is, the record, in my opinion, doesn't mean much if they don't win the championship. I think it's one of those things where they have to do both to be recognized as one of the best teams ever because they're both 72 and 10 team won the championship. And if they don't, then I just don't think they're on the same level.

This became a widely held opinion after the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead to the Cavs later that season.
