Pat ConnaughtonI can lift more than Giannis Antetokounmpo pound-for-pound
Me and [Giannis] have a nice little friendly competition on who can lift more during a certain exercise, you know, pound for pound. Who's stronger of that nature... I said, 'Hey, look, you deserve all the credit, but don't think that I, I think you can beat me in a weightlifting contest.' That's not going to happen.

Big CatThe IOC and NBC are idiots for not letting people share Olympic clips online
The IOC in their infinite wisdom... doesn't want anyone sharing any Olympic clips, pictures, anything, because God forbid anyone talks about the Olympics and these random sports that you stumble upon... I can't understand... why tweeting a 20-second clip of a random sport like handball... is something they want to stop.
Big CatThe Wisconsin Badgers could win the Olympic gold medal in basketball
I really do think that the Wisconsin Badgers could win the gold medal because it does feel like that's the style of basketball [in the Olympics]. I was actually thinking that probably the worst NBA team would have a better chance at winning the title than this group right now.
PFT CommenterOlympic fencing should use sharper swords to make it more dangerous
I think they should have sharper swords and fencing. Like give me an element of danger. It should be death, death, death, but like maiming.

I do think unbiasedly, [the Celtics] have the best team left. At least in the East. When you talk about the West, I think the Denver-Minnesota series has been incredible.
Pat ConnaughtonThe 2021 Bucks championship was one of the hardest NBA titles to win ever
I mean, look, we played the Brooklyn Nets in the second round. They've got three superstars... and it was definitely one of, if not the hardest. We started off with a team that we owed revenge to [Miami], and the Atlanta Hawks are a good young team... and the Phoenix Suns are obviously a great team.
Pat ConnaughtonThe US basketball team struggles in the Olympics because international rules mitigate athleticism
The three point line closer... The key is a little bit smaller. So there's no defensive three seconds. So you can sit in the key for really, as long as you want. Goaltending: if the ball touches the rim, you can bat it off... When you're able to shrink the court a little bit, you're able to give Kevin Durant less space... It becomes more about skill... it just kind of mitigates that athleticism.
