Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ben Simmons need to change their free throw routines to break their mental blocks

I do think that for [Ben] Simmons and Giannis [Antetokounmpo], obviously they're not great shooters regardless, but I do think it's a lot mental. And they just have to change something that they do, some routine that they do to change up the mental aspect of it. Like, if I were Giannis, the minute I got passed the ball, I'd just fucking shoot it right away.

Both players continued to struggle with free throws for significant periods, though Giannis famously went 17-for-19 in the 2021 Finals closeout game.

Kevin Durant's legacy as a top 25 player of all time is now cemented

That 2010 to 2020... that was him cementing himself as, okay, you're a top 50 player of all time. Now, you know, you're a top 25 player of all time. Now, this decade... Sky's the limit. This is where his legacy is made and it started tonight [with 49-17-10].

Durant is widely considered a top 15-20 player by most analysts following his career trajectory and accolades.

The Bucks will win Game 6 and force a Game 7 against the Nets

I do think the Bucks are going to win game six. I think it's going to go seven.

The Bucks won Game 6 and the series did go to 7 games (which the Bucks eventually won in overtime).

LeBron James is not a great dunker because he doesn't hang on the rim

This is why LeBron James is not a great dunker, in my opinion. You have to hang on to the rim for just like a split second. You've got to make the rim move... Sometimes he acts like the rim is like a hot oven rack. He just taps it and pulls his hand away.

This is an aesthetic opinion about dunk style that cannot be objectively proven true or false.

The USMNT has a massive drop-off in talent between the starters and the backups

I will say that our, our second stringers, there's a pretty big fall off between the talent level of our starters and I'd say most of our, our backups, especially on the defensive end. It was not, it didn't, it didn't look inspiring. Yeah, we are, we are not a deep, deep team.

The take is a subjective evaluation of team depth.

Trading LaMelo Ball to the Timberwolves makes them the most interesting team in the NBA

I think it, it instantly makes the Timberwolves like the most interesting team. Yeah. Because I have no idea what the fuck is gonna happen with this combination.

Whether a team is 'most interesting' is entirely subjective.

I’m opting out of all Caitlin Clark discourse until she wins something

Can I just, can I say something about the Caitlin Clark situation? I would like to opt out of all Caitlin Clark discourse until she wins something. Why are we wasting all this time? She can't win the big one. She talking about a loser. She's never, she's never won a title.
