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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Roman Anthony is a defensive liability for the Red Sox because everyone is successfully running on him in left field.

Roman Anthony, world baseball classic hero. But he has been, he's become a meme basically. If he can't, he just can't throw anyone out from left field. Everyone's just running on Roman. Shane tried to tell me he was great last year, but he was playing right field. Now he's playing left field... it's just not good.

Whether a player is a 'liability' is subjective, though defensive stats can provide some evidence over time.

AJ Brown will be traded to the New England Patriots

[AJ Brown is] gone no matter what... New England. [In my] unbiased mind, he's still gone.

AJ Brown was not traded to the Patriots in the immediate aftermath of these rumors.

UConn can't win the championship

I hope UConn can get it done. I don't think they can win it all.

UConn was in the 2026 Final Four. Resolution depends on whether UConn won the championship.
