NBA players should be allowed to jump from the free throw line and lay the ball in mid-air because 'airspace' shouldn't count

I'm an advocate for laying the ball into the basket before you hit the ground. Air doesn't count, man. Airspace does not count in basketball. It's where your foot is... It's almost physically impossible to do, but it's not impossible.

The NBA rulebook states a player cannot cross the plane of the free-throw line until the ball touches the ring, and 'airspace' logic does not apply here.

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 Knicks will probably win the series in five games or even sweep the Cavs

I still think that the, the Knicks are probably gonna win in five. They could even pull off the sweep. I guess the only real question we have for you, 'cause we already, we declared that the New York Knicks have won the series after game one. Correct.

The series is currently ongoing with the Knicks leading 2-0.

The NBA should rebrand the 'granny shot' as the 'pimp grip' to encourage players to use it

Nobody, no player in the NBA wants to shoot a free throw granny style. But if it's pimp grip, that sounds pretty fucking cool. Listen, if it goes in, it doesn't matter. Like if he and he would, he actually probably get some endorsements from it.

This is a comedic suggestion and not a verifiable fact claim.

I want the Thunder to win so we can love Victor Wembanyama longer before the inevitable hate cycle starts

I know who I want to win. I want the Thunder to win this series. And the reason why I want the thunder to win this series is because I think if the thunder win, we get to restart the clock on how much longer we get to love Weby before we hate 'em. If the Spurs win this series and then they win their first championship and Weby dominates, we're gonna eventually hate Weby.

The outcome of the series is pending, and the 'hate cycle' is a subjective sociological prediction.
