Puma is on a five-year comeback in the sports world

I think Puma's going to be on the comeback. Remember when players started going to Adidas a few years ago? Everyone was kind of shitting on it... Now Adidas is back. Puma's on the five-year come-up.

Prediction Business Medium

Puma did significantly increase its NBA presence with LaMelo Ball and others, but it hasn't quite reached the tier of dominance Hank implied, though it is much more relevant than in 2017.

NBA General Managers are dumb enough to be incepted into doing really weird things

NBA general managers we know from recent experience are dumb enough to be incepted into doing really weird things.

Opinion Basketball Medium Subjective

Whether GMs are 'dumb' is inherently subjective, though the history of NBA front office blunders provides plenty of anecdotal evidence.

DeAndre Ayton signing with Puma is a major red flag

DeAndre Ayton, who signed with Puma. Red flag. So that's a red flag for you.

Opinion Basketball Medium Subjective

The quality of a prospect based on their shoe deal is a subjective and superstitious sports fan take.

Luka Doncic is the best NBA prospect ever

I'm officially a Luka guy. I've never seen a second of film of him... I'm going to go with best prospect ever.

Hot Take Basketball Hot

Luka became one of the greatest young players in NBA history. While 'best ever' is debatable against LeBron or Kareem, he is certainly in the top tier of all-time prospects in hindsight.
