I actually prefer blocking to catching the ball

I like blocking a lot like my favorite thing... when it's play call is like, all right, you're just going to go just throw some people out of the club. You're like fuck. Yes. Let's go.

This is a statement of personal preference from an elite athlete about his craft.

Kobe Bryant was the bridge that took the baton from Michael Jordan and passed it to LeBron James

Kobe Bryant was the type of guy who [was] bigger than his sport, who was the guy who took the baton from Michael Jordan and passed it to LeBron James, who was basically the guy in the NBA for a decade plus.

This is a subjective assessment of a player's historical role in the league, generally supported by most basketball historians.

Kobe Bryant's death is the most shocking athlete death since Dale Earnhardt

I can't think of another case where an athlete of like this stature has passed away suddenly, like maybe the closest thing I can even think of is Dale Earnhardt.

The level of 'shock' is a subjective experience, though widely shared by the sports community at the time.

The NBA should have canceled all games on the day Kobe Bryant died

I think [the NBA] should have canceled the games today because of what he meant everybody in the league. It seemed like Kobe had some sort of influence on every single team... it felt like one of those things where the the whole league was like sleepwalking.

The NBA did not cancel games that night, though they later postponed a Lakers/Clippers game. This remains a subjective opinion on how the league should handle tragedies.

90% of NFL players prefer grass fields; teams should install them everywhere

Put me on a soapbox man. I mean, if you can put grass in MetLife and in SoFi, I think you could do that year-round if you really gave a shit... I think if you polled every single player, I would say probably 90% would prefer grass field. Why not just spend a couple extra million dollars? Which you, we know they all have. Just grass all the fields. It doesn't seem that difficult.

Surveys by the NFLPA consistently show a vast majority of players prefer natural grass over artificial turf.

Victor Wembanyama would struggle at tight end because his height creates a huge target area for safeties to hit

If he was only running a fade? Yeah, maybe. I think part of me thinks he would get the hell jammed out of him at the line of scrimmage though. ... Not a lot of base. And also if he tried to run like a crossing route across the middle, I think his, he's getting taken out pretty quickly. ... Like if you're a receiver or a tight end and you're over six six, you're that, that like your ankle to like hip, that's a huge target for safeties to just run through.

Subjective sports crossover hypothetical.

LeBron James would be a hell of a left tackle

LeBron would be a hell of a left tackle. He'd be an, he'd be a really good left tackle. If he just did like the Trent Williams ninja stuff where he just swats and swipes people's faces out of the way. I think he could handle it.

This is a hypothetical sports debate that can never be proven.
