All Takes
I could still average 10 points and 5 assists in the NBA right now
I still play with pros all the time. There's moments where you watch guys who just got paid $60, $70, $80 million for having marginal numbers where I'm not going to sit there and tell you, I feel like I can get nine or ten points a game in the league. I feel like I can get four or five assists in a game.
I have the best basketball game out of any talent currently working at ESPN (excluding former NBA players)
Who's got the best game out in Bristol? I would have to say me. [Besides people who played in the league.] Well, see, here's the thing. You don't see a lot of talent play in some of the games.
College athletes should be allowed to 'wet the beak' and get a cut of revenue when their names are on jerseys
I like seeing somebody naturally stick it each and every time to the NCAA when they can. Because the NCAA... they make $900 million at a minimum each and every year just off the TV rights to the tournament alone. That's worth having a conversation about. Let the kids wet the beak. Just a little bit. If I see my name on the back of a jersey multiple times in an arena that I'm playing at, just let me get a little bit of a taste of that.
Duke runs a guard-dominated offense because Coach K loves having the ball in guards' hands
Duke is a dominated guard offense. It's naturally what it is. K loves for the ball to be in the hands of guards. You see that with Luke Kennard, Grayson Allen, guards from the past as well... it's never been a staple of Duke to throw the ball down low and the big guy's going to get you 25 and 10. That's never been who they've been offensively.
Kansas is the most consistent team in the country, but I would pick Purdue to beat them in the tournament
I'm saying Kansas. See, I think Kansas is the most consistent team in the country. But if they get matched up against Purdue, I'll probably take Purdue in that ballgame. Because [Kansas has] no inside presence. That actually is really dumb of me to do because it is all about the matches.
Gonzaga will fail to reach the Final Four this year
Now I may lose a bet to Greenberg because I had a bet with Seth Greenberg before that they [Gonzaga] don't get the Final Four.
Chapel Hill was not a difficult place to play during my time at Duke
Chapel Hill wasn't difficult. I was undefeated in Chapel Hill. That wasn't a difficult place to play at all.
