All roads in the NBA super team era lead back to LeBron James

All roads lead to LeBron James with this super team friends and family shit. Just know that. There's always a way back to LeBron James. He started this shit and now it's corroding and polluting the NBA.

While many credit the 2008 Celtics or the 2010 Heat (LeBron), the 'friends and family' player-movement era is widely attributed to LeBron's 'The Decision'.

The veteran kicker will beat out the young leg in training camp 99 times out of 100

A lot of times you'll have a veteran kicker on a team to bring in a young leg... And the veteran kicker always wins the job, like 99 times out of 100.

Veteran kickers generally do retain their jobs against camp invites, though youth movements occasionally happen. This is a broad generalization that holds true more often than not.

Lacy struggled with weight issues his entire career and was eventually placed on IR later in the 2016 season, though his 'fat' status remained a constant point of debate.

85% of The Ringer's basketball podcasters are 'hipsters' who rely too much on stats

85% of the people that are on the Ringer podcast discussing basketball, they're hipsters. In terms of the stat, stat, stat... I want an eye test. I don't want geometry. Can you play or can you not play?

This is a subjective categorization of a group of media personalities.

Bill Simmons' HBO show was 'trash' from the first interview

I did his HBO show, which I knew was trash. I knew which we all knew was trash from the first interview from the first person... I knew that when I watched the Simmons thing, everybody knew, because there was so much anticipation and hype, and because he left ESPN, you knew... yo, this is in deep shit.

While quality is subjective, 'Any Given Wednesday' was indeed canceled by HBO after one season due to low ratings, supporting the 'trash/deep shit' sentiment.
