The NBA should value dunks at only one point to see if players like Giannis Antetokounmpo would still do them

Do you guys think that if dunks were worth one point, Giannis would still do them? ... I think the NBA should seriously consider that in the All-Star game.

The NBA has never implemented a rule where dunks are worth fewer points than other field goals.

Using Shaquille O'Neal as a prop is an all-time move because he is the largest human being ever

Hamadou Diallo stole the show by using Shaq as a prop, which I cannot believe had not been used until Saturday night. Shaquille O'Neal as a prop is an all-time prop because he is the largest human being ever. That's a fact. Don't look it up.

While Shaq is giant, he is not literally the largest human being ever (Sultan Kösen or Robert Wadlow hold those records).

Zion Williamson will be a Chicago Bull and his appearance in next year's dunk contest in the United Center will be an all-time moment

Zion going next year's dunk contest will be incredible because Zion Williamson, as a Chicago Bull, doing it in the United Center is going to be an all-time moment.

Zion was drafted by the Pelicans, not the Bulls. He also did not participate in the 2020 Dunk Contest.

Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant are going to sign with the New York Knicks

Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant are in love. Full-blown love. They were like tickling each other. They were horsing around. A lot of horseplay. You just got to say, New York Knicks.

Both players signed with the Brooklyn Nets instead of the Knicks.

Michigan was definitively the better team in the National Championship and it never felt like UConn was in danger of winning.

Michigan was the better team. We all saw it. It never felt like [the game] was in danger. Like the only moment that I was like, oh, UConn might have a chance, was when there was like maybe five and a half minutes left and Mullens missed that three to cut it to four.

The episode presents Michigan winning the 2026 National Championship as a fact within the show's timeline.

Michigan was the best team all year — outside of Duke, who would have won the championship by a lot

They were the best team. They were the best team all year outside of Duke. 'Cause that actually was my other big takeaway — Duke just completely, Duke beat this Michigan team a month and a half ago.

Subjective comparison of team quality. Duke did beat Michigan during the regular season in 2025-26.

Danny Hurley is 18-1 against the spread in his last four NCAA tournaments, which is insane

Danny Hurley remains 18 and one in the last four tournaments against the spread. How insane is that? Furman is the only one that they didn't cover. That was the first round this year.

This is a factual claim about Hurley's ATS record over the last four NCAA tournaments. Based on UConn's remarkable tournament run, this is plausible and presented as a known stat. Cannot fully verify exact record but the claim is stated as fact.
