Ben Simmons should quit because he clearly doesn't like playing basketball

I think at this point, Ben Simmons should just quit playing basketball. I think he should quit. I think he just doesn't like it. I think it's pretty obvious that he doesn't like playing basketball... he's built to be a basketball player... but at some point, if you don't actually like playing it, yeah. That's almost a curse.

Simmons did not quit; he eventually requested a trade and continued playing for the Nets (after a long hiatus).

The Bucks are a lock to win on NBA opening night

Also the Bucks... what if the Bucks are maybe the biggest lock tonight? The rosters coming allly back. You saw that video with Giannis with the jump shot. This is like the greatest basketball player of all time.

The Bucks beat the Nets 127-104 on October 19, 2021.

The Bills will finish as the 1-seed in the AFC despite the Titans loss

The bills will be fine. They have, I think the second easiest or easiest schedule for the rest of the year. So they'll, I still think they'll probably end up with the one seed because they, I mean, even their next three games, the bills play the dolphins, the Jaguars, the jets.

The Bills finished 11-6 and were the 3-seed. The Titans actually took the 1-seed.

Texas is actually getting better every week even though they keep losing

I actually think that Texas is getting better every week... I do think that Texas, the more they lose, the better they get.

Texas finished the 2021 season 5-7, including a 6-game losing streak, so they objectively did not get better as the season progressed.

Duke would have won the National Championship by 50 points if they had reached the final.

I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they win by 50. Easily. That was a wasted opportunity.

This is a hyperbolic counterfactual that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

Michigan is already the favorite to win the National Championship again next season.

Michigan I think is right now the favorites to win next season. Tough to win back to back, but he has to hit the portal. He has to be active... which he already is.

This is a prediction for the next college basketball season.

College basketball is now 'pay to win' and that's unsustainable

It's a pay to win tournament. Like basketball is ruined. Unsustainable. Yeah, that's the new word that I keep hearing.

Subjective opinion about the direction of college sports governance.
