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.

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).

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.

The 4-1 loss to Belgium was the worst USMNT performance in years

That was the worst performance from the US that I've seen in years. Just completely lackluster from the start. So much blame to go around. Tim Ream, friend of the program, good guy over the hill, turned into soccer Shawn Bradley before our very eyes got dunked on twice.

Subjective opinion on the quality of the performance.

Christian Pulisic was a 'no-show' and looked like he didn't care against Belgium

Christian Pulisic, the long anointed Captain America future face of this league for American soccer. Absolute no show of a game, I would say worse than a no show of a game. And then he checks himself out. Just looks lackluster, looks like he doesn't care at all. Had the most turnovers on the field of anybody. That played just really, really, really bad.

Subjective evaluation of Pulisic's effort and performance.

The US will never close the skill gap compared to the rest of the world in soccer

People will never close the skill gap. USA will never close the skill gap compared to the rest of the world in soccer.

Historically, the US has struggled to produce technical talent on par with Brazil or Europe.
