Basketball is a 'candy-ass sport' because players require music and atmosphere to find a rhythm

See, this is why basketball is like a candy-ass sport. You need all these little distractions and stuff because there's so many breaks in the action. It's not like a nonstop thrill ride like the NFL is where you don't need any commercials or music playing or replays or anything like that.

This is a purely subjective opinion about the nature of the sport and the necessity of arena entertainment.

Rugby is already huge in America

I'm going to take you one step further and say rugby is already huge in America. This was the, yeah, we're here. Get used to it.

Rugby remains a niche sport in America compared to the Big 4 leagues.

Music and atmosphere in NBA arenas directly affects player rhythm and pace

It was like the sloppiest game ever, and that's not just because the Knicks are always sloppy, but it was like no one could get a rhythm... Then they put the music on in the second half, and the pace picked right up, and they almost hit the over... So it was clear that the music did actually affect the players.

While subjective, Draymond Green and other players agreed at the time that the lack of music felt 'trash' and disrupted the flow.

A wolf has the advantage over Arian Foster because as an atheist, Foster is more afraid of death than the wolf is

I think the wolf has the advantage because a wolf doesn't care if it lives or if it dies. And an atheist, actually, that's all they care about is whether they live or die because they know that after they're dead, they're not going – they're dead forever. A Christian, they're fine with dying because they'll be like, hey, I'm going to heaven. Tebow would kick the shit out of a wolf.

The psychological impact of atheism on a hypothetical fight with a wolf is impossible to verify.

The Knicks will probably win the series in five games or even sweep the Cavs

I still think that the, the Knicks are probably gonna win in five. They could even pull off the sweep. I guess the only real question we have for you, 'cause we already, we declared that the New York Knicks have won the series after game one. Correct.

The series is currently ongoing with the Knicks leading 2-0.

The NBA should rebrand the 'granny shot' as the 'pimp grip' to encourage players to use it

Nobody, no player in the NBA wants to shoot a free throw granny style. But if it's pimp grip, that sounds pretty fucking cool. Listen, if it goes in, it doesn't matter. Like if he and he would, he actually probably get some endorsements from it.

This is a comedic suggestion and not a verifiable fact claim.

I want the Thunder to win so we can love Victor Wembanyama longer before the inevitable hate cycle starts

I know who I want to win. I want the Thunder to win this series. And the reason why I want the thunder to win this series is because I think if the thunder win, we get to restart the clock on how much longer we get to love Weby before we hate 'em. If the Spurs win this series and then they win their first championship and Weby dominates, we're gonna eventually hate Weby.

The outcome of the series is pending, and the 'hate cycle' is a subjective sociological prediction.
