I will play in the NBA for only one more season

[Question: How many more years you got?] One. That's it? Yes.

Incorrect. Carter actually played two more seasons after this interview (2018-19 with Atlanta and 2019-20 with Atlanta) before retiring in 2020.

Soccer players are frauds and the sport isn't that difficult to play

Soccer players are frauds. I don't think that it's that difficult to play soccer.

The difficulty of professional soccer is subjective, but as a take, it's a high-level provocation.

Harry Kane is a 'fraud' because he only scores tap-ins and penalties

Harry Kane, still a bust in my mind [because] he just only scores from like two feet out. He basically didn't even have to [try for the hat trick]. He just showed up, and I could have gotten that hat trick. I just need to hit two penalty shots.

Hot TakeSoccerHotSarcastic
Kane went on to win the Golden Boot in this World Cup (6 goals), though three were penalties and one was a deflection off his heel, partially supporting the 'fraudulent' nature of the stats but proving he was elite at being in position.

Russia is definitely doping and FIFA is choosing to ignore it

Russia's doping and FIFA doesn't care. There's a report that came out that basically the entire team doped in 2014, the entire team's doping now, and FIFA has actually gotten the documents and been like, eh, we'll just let this one slide.

Extensive reports (including the McLaren Report) detailed Russian doping, but official FIFA investigations into the 2018 squad specifically did not result in sanctions during the tournament.

Michael Jordan is the GOAT, followed closely by Kobe Bryant

I still have to give it to MJ. With a close Kobe second. It's hard for me playing the game right now to give a guy [LeBron James] that crown because I'm still in the game. And he's still in the game, too. I cannot do that.

The GOAT debate is inherently subjective.

Super teams threaten to water down the NBA

The only thing I just hope that doesn't happen is the league becomes watered down because so many teams are trying to create a super team to where you have 10 teams of the 30 having all the best players. And then what does that do with the rest of the league? Everyone else is tanking. That just hurts the NBA at the end of the day.

This is an ongoing debate about the NBA's competitive balance.

Baggy clothes will eventually come back into fashion

Everything is going to come full circle. The baggy clothes... I still have my Coogee sweaters. And they're starting to slowly come back. It's going to all come back, bro.

Fashion is cyclical, and oversized/baggy styles indeed returned to prominence in the early 2020s.
