LeBron James is a shitty general manager

I don't think that people give enough credit to LeBron for being such a shitty general manager. He's actually not good at it. And, but in another way, he's very good at it. And that Russell Westbrook was the perfect guy for LeBron to get on the team to be like, 'this is why we're bad because of him.'

The 2021-22 Lakers finished 33-49 and missed the playoffs entirely, a disastrous outcome for a roster LeBron heavily influenced.

Juwan Howard has a legitimate anger problem

This is he's a repeat offender. He is. So he had that. He also claimed last year that Mark Turgeon... was coming at him and he had to defend himself... He's gotten some weird technical fouls where he's like yelled at people.

Juwan Howard was suspended for the remainder of the regular season following this incident and eventually fired in 2024 after several more altercations and poor performance.

The Juwan Howard incident was great for college basketball

I'm smashing the good for college basketball button. Of course it is awesome for college basketball... Rivalries in college sports where it's always on the cusp of turning violent. That's just good for the sport and nothing bad happened.

The clip dominated sports media for weeks, confirming it was a major engagement driver, though its 'goodness' for the sport's integrity is subjective.

LeBron James ruined the dunk contest by never participating in it

LeBron ruined the dunk contest by never doing it. Correct though. Setting the precedent. [He's the] best players to never do it. He ruined it by saying he was going to do it too. You remember that? Yeah. And then just never did it.

The dunk contest has notoriously lacked star power for years, with stars often citing injury risk or lack of interest, following LeBron's lead.

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.
