Phoenix is a sleeper NBA city with huge potential

Number two, kind of a sleeper city for me, is Phoenix. Young. It's a good time. Great weather always. I like to get in there a little early. Just take my claim, put them on the Mount Rushmore, and then when they do blow up, it's like, hey, I was here from the beginning.

The Suns eventually became a powerhouse and top destination again with the arrival of Chris Paul and Kevin Durant.

Brooks Koepka is too attractive to win a major tournament

[Brooks Koepka] is way too attractive to win any kind of major tournament. Usually you need a receding hairline, some Phil Mickelson man boobs, some Tiger Woods inner demons. Give me one flaw that I can make fun of you for on Twitter and make me feel better as a person.

Koepka ended up being one of the most dominant major champions of his era, winning five total majors despite his good looks.

Attractive people shouldn't be good at anything because it makes them impossible to make fun of

If you're an attractive person, you shouldn't be good at anything. Give me one flaw that I can make fun of you for on Twitter and make me feel better as a person. [Brooks Koepka] has an attractive girlfriend. He just won like $3 million. He's attractive. He's the U.S. Open winner. Fuck this guy.

This is a purely subjective comedic stance on the correlation between attractiveness and talent.

The U.S. Open course at Erin Hills was way too easy

The golf course lost. I expect more. I want to see the U.S. Open golf course. I want to see Jim Nance giving his tie to the course. Everyone was just hitting it right down the middle the whole time. Easiest golf course I've ever seen. So USGA, figure it out.

Erin Hills 2017 saw record low scores for a U.S. Open, with Koepka finishing at -16, supporting the idea that the course setup wasn't as punishing as traditional U.S. Opens.

The Pacers will surprise people

I think they're gonna surprise people if people forgot.

The Pacers' 2026-27 season and playoff performance will show whether they exceeded expectations.

The Nuggets' championship window is closing

I think that the Nuggets do, but this window's closing just because all this injury stuff, I think once you start to have that injury bug, it's hard to come back and just have your whole team be relatively healthy for a whole season.

The Nuggets' subsequent championship success in this roster era will determine whether the window was effectively closing.

NBA awards voting should be handled by a smaller group

Maybe you just take the pool down of the number of voters. ... I don't know. I don't know what the answer is, but I do think maybe you just take the pool down.

This is a proposed policy preference, not a claim with a single objective answer.
