John Stockton never stretched before games or practices during his career

John never stretched. I don't think anybody would believe it. He'd warm up, go up and down maybe twice with a basketball and then go 'Alright, let's go' and just bust everybody's asses. Unbelievable... he played 16 years without missing a game. So I guess it worked for John.

Stockton's durability and lack of traditional stretching routines are well-documented parts of his NBA lore.

I am officially cancelling all sports until 2022 to avoid further heartbreak

I'm approaching [cancellations] the exact opposite way. I am cancelled sports for 2020, 2021 and possibly 2022 and anything that we get that comes sooner than that is a bonus. I'm not gonna let myself get my heart broken over and over... the world has ended and sports are over.

Sports returned much earlier than 2022 (summer/fall 2020), making this literal prediction incorrect.

The future of sports is video games and closed-set UFC fights

The future of sports is everyone watching video games and then every three weeks or so a closed set where Dana White has people beat the fuck out of each other. That's all we have.

UFC was indeed the first major sport back with closed sets, though traditional sports returned in bubbles soon after.

The NFL should play on a remote island or in Hawaii to save the season

The NFL actually should be looking at like island property right this second. They should be looking wherever the fucking Bahamas Bowl is played... go to Hawaii. Go back to the Pro Bowl.

The NFL did not move to an island; they eventually played in home stadiums with various protocols.

Gonzaga is America's team because everyone's main team is secondary to them

I would describe us [Gonzaga] as America's team because we're always like, right? You have your main team, but everybody kind of cheers for Gonzaga, right?

Subjective claim about national perception of a mid-major powerhouse.

A major college basketball coach always knows when players are getting paid

There's no way a coach of a major program doesn't know exactly what's going on at his program. 100%. Totally agree. ... Especially with the sneaker companies doing that type of stuff, you have to kind of know that somebody's getting greased on the backside.

While often suspected, the degree of specific knowledge by head coaches is a matter of debate and varies by program.

Losing in college hurts more than the pros because you aren't millionaires yet

In professional sports, if you lose, there's no real losers in the NFL, MLB or NBA hockey... you're all millionaires... it's like, well, I'll go home in my Maserati and call it a night. And college, it's different.

This is a subjective perspective from a former high-level athlete.
