Nico Iamaleava's move to UCLA cost him 80% of his earning power when accounting for California taxes and cost of living

[Nico Iamaleava] actually ended up losing, I'm going to guess like 80% of his earning power when you take into account the cost of living in LA and the state income tax in California as opposed to Tennessee, which doesn't have any.

While CA taxes and COL are high, the 80% figure is likely hyperbolic, making this partially correct in spirit but likely incorrect as a hard stat.

Cooper Flagg is a choker

Even though [Cooper Flagg] is a choker. That's fine.

Cooper Flagg averaged 18.9 PPG at Duke, scored 27 in Final Four, was drafted #1 overall, averaging 21 PPG as NBA rookie. Not a choker.

Paying Josh Giddey $35 million a year would be a massive mistake for the Bulls

They also have a guy named Josh Giddey who they're gonna probably pay $35 million to, which would be a very big mistake... Josh Giddey is just good enough to get you in the play-in game and not the playoffs.

The Bulls signed Giddey to a 4-year, $100M extension ($25M/year), less than the $35M predicted. Whether it's a mistake depends on Giddey's future performance, but the contract was more modest than feared.

The Chicago Bulls are a joke of an organization with no path forward

This franchise [the Bulls] is a joke and it should be called out as a joke and stop pretending that March and April basketball means something and actually pick a lane and go for it. They do not know how to tank. They do not know how to win.

The Bulls' performance over the last decade supports the claim of mediocrity, though 'joke' is subjective.

The Knicks will sweep the Cavaliers in four games

Yeah. I mean it's, it is over Knicks in four. It's over.

Depends on the outcome of the specific 2026 playoff series.

Victor Wembanyama is a disappointment if he doesn't win seven championships

He has to win a minimum seven championships... has to. If he doesn't, disappointment.

Winning seven rings is nearly impossible in the modern NBA; even one or two would be a success.

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are going to have sex with each other because of their mutual respect

These guys are gonna fuck if they haven't fucked already. Holy shit. They're, they respect each other so much as competitors and as rivals, they're going to fuck each other. It's not even a question.

Inherently unresolvable and based on a fake quote anyway.
