Flaming cheese (Saganaki) is the best Greek invention because it's like an experience

The flaming saganaki, the flaming cheese. That shit is awesome. It's like going to hibachi. It's like, you clap for it. It's an experience, like, 'oh shit, they lit the cheese on fire!'

Subjective preference for a type of food.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's ligaments are made of rubber bands because a normal body would have 'blown up' after that injury

Giannis, I don't know, he like broke his leg. ACL? Yeah. Doctor David PFT says, 'I personally think it's an MCL.' ... but whatever it is, his ligaments are not made out of ligaments. They're made out of like rubber bands. Because it's crazy. Like my leg would have, my body would have just blown up, given up at that point.

Giannis famously returned just a week later to win the NBA Finals MVP, proving he did indeed have incredible recuperative powers, though 'rubber bands' is obviously metaphorical.

NBA teams should sign stars and then only play them once the role players have won the early playoff series

Reggie Miller was mega right about resting the players. You should just, the new formula should be you sign star players and then you just try to win all the playoff series against inferior teams with your role guys. And then you put your stars back in for the fight.

This is an intentionally absurd strategy that no team would actually implement.

The 2021 NBA Playoff injuries are mostly freak occurrences rather than a result of the shortened season

I still believe... that this is the weirdest playoffs ever... a lot of these injuries are kind of freak injuries that I don't know if that has anything to do with playing the season was shortened rests off of the bubble. I just think there's a lot of freak injuries. They've happened all at once.

This remains a debated topic among sports scientists and NBA fans; while some injuries like AD's could be load-related, others like Trae Young stepping on a ref's foot are clearly freak events.

LeBron James' 2020 NBA championship in the bubble does not count

I actually don't care to like debate the merits of the bubble championship. I just like to just say with puffed out chest. Yeah. LeBron won zero titles as a Laker. And then everyone's like, what about the COVID? Like, sorry, I don't, I don't acknowledge that as a real title.

Inherently subjective and a matter of historical trolling.
