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.

I can't shoot free throws if I can see myself on the jumbotron behind the basket

If I can ever see myself shooting a free throw on a camera or something in the background, I'll miss every time. I've played in games where you can see yourself on the video board behind the basket shooting. That fucks you up.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
