Paolo Banchero will be one of the best players in the NBA this season with an improved shot

Paolo Banchero for the magic. He's coming off of his first Allstar season, his shot. I feel like he's gonna be a very good shooter this year. I think that'll change everything for him. I think that'll make him, you know, one of the best players in the league for sure.

PredictionBasketballMedium
Banchero averaged 21.5 PPG, 8.4 RPG, and 5.0 APG in 2025-26, earning an All-Star selection. While he's very good, his shooting (31.4% from 3) hasn't dramatically improved to make him 'one of the best players in the league' at the top tier.

Bronny James will play two minutes and have one turnover in his NBA debut

I think [Bronny James] bad. Two minutes, one turnover.

PredictionBasketballHot
In his debut, Bronny played 3 minutes and had 0 points, 1 rebound, and 0 turnovers. Big Cat was very close on minutes but slightly off on the turnover.

I'm putting a bounty on anyone who dunks on Bronny James in an NBA game

I'm gonna put a bounty out there. If you can dunk on Bronny, then I will... you get a, an open spot on Pardon My Take and I will say you can join the show as a guest to discuss the dunk. Okay. And I will send you a Pardon My Cheesesteak... with all the fixings.

OpinionBasketballHotSubjectiveSarcastic
This is an offer/bounty rather than a prediction. No player publicly claimed this specific PMT bounty during the season.

Ben Simmons will have a great season because he is finally healthy

I think the work has been working. He just has to stay healthy. I think he can impact the game so many ways... some guys, you just don't need to be a shooter... Ben Simmons just needs to be healthy, period. He's healthy, he's gonna have a great season. It's that simple.

PredictionBasketballHot
Simmons continued to struggle with injuries and inconsistency through the early part of the 2024-25 season.

Victor Wembanyama will be the future of the league and a multiple-time MVP

Wemby is the future of the league. I think he'll be MVP multiple times... Jamal [Crawford] was telling me, he's like, we've mastered the Melo footwork, we've mastered the Dirk footwork... If he stays healthy, I think he'll be one of the greatest players that we've ever seen.

PredictionBasketballMild
While likely correct long-term, this will take years to fully verify.
