Coach K's $14 million salary proves he was never 'just doing it for the kids'

Coach K... it was revealed that he made $14 million last year... It proves yet again, what coach K said was true when he was, you know, flirting with the NBA. And he said, the allure of coaching in college has no price... He shouldn't also pretend that he's like getting paid nothing. And he just is there for the kids. I have no problem with him making 14 million. I have a problem with him being like, I'm just here for the kids. I do this shit for free.

Coach K's salary was indeed reported around $12.5M to $14M in his final seasons. The 'doing it for the kids' part is a subjective characterization of his public persona.

The Celtics looked great despite losing Game 1 because they won three out of four quarters

They won three out of four quarters and lost by 11... 39 to 14 [in the third quarter]. It was a winnable game. They won three out of four quarters. They looked great in the second half.

The Celtics did win three quarters, but losing the 3rd quarter 39-14 resulted in an 11-point loss. Scoreboard is the only stat that matters.

It is bullshit that NBA players are still missing playoff games for COVID in 2022

I think it's bullshit that anyone should be out for COVID. It's like, it should be like the NFL playoffs where COVID just didn't exist. If you think that like COVID in the spring of 2022 should be deciding playoffs series, you're crazy. Like that's bullshit.

This is a subjective opinion about league policy.

The NFL will eventually implement a draft lottery to get an extra night of massive TV ratings

That's one reason why I think that the NFL will definitely implement this at some point in the future, because you get an entire new night of ratings out of this extravagant that Roger Goodell will figure out a way to make the NFL draft lottery, like six hours long.

As of late 2024, the NFL has not implemented a draft lottery.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

The Cavaliers-Knicks series is over after Game 1

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.
