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.

The Hawks would have beaten the Bucks in Game 4 even if Giannis didn't get hurt

I do think the Hawks would have, they kind of were going to win this game without Giannis getting hurt. Like I know Hank just sitting there just saying 'game' after every made shot, that was pre-injury. The Hawks were playing like a spirited, like, Hey, we're coming out here, everyone in the world thinks we have no chance without Trae Young, fuck the world.

The Hawks were indeed leading when Giannis went down and won comfortably, though it's impossible to know how the comeback attempt would have gone with a healthy Giannis.

Paddy the Baddy is the next star of the UFC

Paddy the Baddy was electric. Paddy the Baddy is the next star of the UFC.

Paddy Pimblett has become a massive fan favorite and major draw, though he hasn't reached McGregor-level championship status yet. The take is largely validated by his popularity.

I bet LeBron James will announce his next team on Thursday using a golf ball gender reveal format

I think it's going to be like a gender reveal, but with a golf ball. And he's gonna hit the golf ball and it's gonna be the Cavs colors... Burgundy. Do it, do it Thursday. LeBron.

LeBron did not use a golf ball gender reveal to announce a team move in 2026.

Andy Reid on a horse is a massive Mount Rushmore miss

Andy Reid should have been a pick. The more, just think about it, the more Andy Reid on a horse... that is so fucking funny.

Subjective humor.
