Tall basketball players are actually at a disadvantage against normal-sized people

I've always been to the mindset that tall players are actually at a disadvantage against a normal size player like myself. Because it does take longer for their brain signal to go from their brain to their extremities than it would for me.

Hot Take Basketball FireSarcastic

The biological claim about signal speed being a competitive disadvantage for tall people is medically nonsensical.

UConn will cement themselves as the best program of the last 25 years if they win this title

Going up against the team that will further cement themselves as the best team in the last 25 years. So in terms of multiple winners in the last 25 years, UConn has four. Duke and UNC both have three apiece. This would be UConn's fifth if they could finish the deal.

Opinion CBB Medium

UConn did win the 2023 title, giving them 5 since 1999, more than any other program in that span.

Nate Oats is officially on the hot seat

I'm officially putting Nate Oats on my hot seat. It's got to turn into go at least one year without a murder to get off this hot seat.

Hot Take CBB ScorchingSarcastic

Nate Oats was not actually fired, nor did he ever enter a true 'hot seat' for performance reasons, making this a failed humorous prediction.

Players who play in Europe for 15 years often have a better life than fringe NBA players

I would actually say that a lot of players that end up doing the thing where they go to Europe and they play for 12, 15 years and they bounce around Europe all the time, they might have a better life than a guy that makes it to the NBA. Gets paid a shitload of money and maybe doesn't get, you know, doesn't sniff a championship. Maybe you're coming off the bench... going over and playing overseas in Europe or in New Zealand or Australia. That's probably a pretty good life.
