Skip Bayless is the real winner of the 2019 NBA Finals no matter the outcome

Skip Bayless is the real winner of these NBA finals, no matter what happens... Because if the Warriors win, it's an indictment on Kawhi. And Skip gets to say, number two, I told you he was number two. And if the Raptors win, it's a big win for Skip Bayless because then he can retroactively use that and say it means less that LeBron James beat that Warriors team without KD back in 2016 because Kawhi also did it.

OpinionMediaMediumSubjective
This is a subjective analysis of media punditry that cannot be factually proven right or wrong, but accurately reflects Skip Bayless's rhetorical style.

Giannis Antetokounmpo shrunk in every fourth-quarter situation against the Raptors

I feel bad for Bucks fans because they really did after up 2-0. They're like, this is going to be it. This is awesome. And Giannis [Antetokounmpo] just shrunk in every fourth quarter situation.

OpinionBasketballMedium
The Bucks lost four straight games after leading 2-0, and Giannis's late-game offensive limitations were a major talking point of the series.

I want Steph Curry to not win the Finals MVP just to keep that narrative alive

In order of things I want to happen, I want Steph [Curry] to not win the MVP no matter what just so that we can keep that narrative going. It's got to go to somebody crazy.

OpinionBasketballMedium
The Warriors lost, so Steph didn't win MVP. Kawhi Leonard won it. Steph later won his first Finals MVP in 2022.

The Raptors vs. Warriors will be a competitive Finals series because Toronto has the best player

I actually think this is going to be a competitive series. I know you guys think it's going to be quick, quick work for the Warriors... the Raptors have the best all-around player [Kawhi Leonard] in this series.

PredictionBasketballMedium
The Raptors won in six games, proving the series was competitive and that Toronto was the better team.

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.

PredictionCBBMedium
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.
