Christian Pulisic will make soccer the biggest sport in America

This guy, he is going to make soccer the biggest sport in America. This is the guy. It actually already happened with Freddy Adu, and then John Harkes, and then DeMarcus Beasley, but it's happening again before our eyes.

Prediction Soccer HotSarcastic

While Pulisic became the most successful American male player ever (winning a Champions League), soccer has not overtaken football, basketball, or baseball in US popularity.

The torch has officially been passed from LeBron James to Kevin Durant

I am under the theory now that the torch has not only been passed, but it's comfortably sitting in Kevin Durant's mom's house. She has it on the mantle.

Opinion Basketball Medium Subjective

Subjective sports debate, though Durant won Finals MVP in 2017.

LeBron James has no killer instinct because he is a father of three

LeBron's a father of three, so this might have something to do with it, but he just has no killer instinct. He's too close to life. If you're the best player in the world, quotation marks, and you have the ball the way he had the ball at the end of the game, you take it to the hole and you try and get fouled. Or you at least ask for the ball.

Opinion Basketball Hot

LeBron James has since won another title (2020) and became the all-time leading scorer; the 'no killer instinct' narrative has largely been debunked by his career longevity and volume of clutch performances.

Sidney Crosby is the biggest thug in hockey

Is Sidney Crosby the biggest thug in hockey? He did two things tonight... He dribbled P.K. Subban's face off the ice like it was Deron Williams just dribbling out of bounds... And he threw a water bottle onto the ice during play. Wow. Dangerous.

Hot Take Hockey HotSarcastic

Sidney Crosby is widely considered one of the greatest and most skilled players ever, not a 'thug', though he has had moments of grit and frustration.
