Teams should hesitate to sign LeBron James to a Supermax due to his whiteboard-punching 'hand injury'

how does lebron's like terrible terrible very very painful looking um displaced compound fracture hand injury affect his free agency status because if I was a team, I would hesitate against paying a guy with an injury like that a Supermax contract.

LeBron signed a 4-year, $154 million deal with the Lakers shortly after, so the injury did not affect his contract status.

There is a 'Cavaliers Curse' affecting teams named the Cavaliers

We talk a lot about curses on this show. I think it's fair to ask, given the showing in recent basketball tournaments by teams named [Cavaliers], is there a Cavs curse? [UVA and Cleveland].

While both teams suffered historic/disappointing losses in 2018, UVA would go on to win the national championship in 2019, breaking any 'curse.'

The Warriors can play only 15 minutes of real basketball and beat anyone in the world

The Warriors can play 15 minutes of Warriors basketball and beat anyone in the world, and they just needed to be pushed a little. And even if you saw their body language going to that game six and seven in Western Conference rounds, they didn't care. They're like, yeah, we're going to still win.

The Warriors won the 2018 title in a sweep, confirming their massive talent gap over the league.

The Capitals are going to win only nine games next year and I am fine with it

I wouldn't be surprised if the Washington Capitals won nine games next year. And I'm totally fine with that. I am 100% fine with them absolutely crapping themselves because it was all worth it.

The Capitals actually won 48 games the following season and finished first in their division.

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.

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.

Subjective opinion about the direction of college sports governance.
