The Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio didn't exist before the movie 'City of God' and was just a prop

I don't even think [the Christ the Redeemer statue] existed before that movie City of God. I think they just put it in there as a prop. It's like the Rocky statue.

Fact ClaimPop CultureHotSarcastic
The statue was completed in 1931, decades before the movie was made.

The NBA play-in tournament is stupid

I've decided I'm not going to be Mr. No Fun. I'll just let the playing game happen. I'm not going to tweet that this is stupid. I'm just going to sit here and be right in my silence because... This was stupid.

OpinionBasketballMediumSubjective
The NBA play-in tournament has remained a permanent and generally popular fixture of the NBA season, though opinions vary.

The Wizards are a regular season team not built for the play-ins

The Wizards are not built for the play-ins, the regular season team. But we do get another game of play-in basketball in Washington.

OpinionBasketballMedium
The Wizards did win their second play-in game against the Pacers to make the 8-seed, though they were eliminated in the first round 4-1 by the 76ers.

You cannot win in the NBA when Robin Lopez is your go-to guy

I also think anytime Robin Lopez is like your go-to guy... You're probably not going to win that game. Doing some post moves on everyone's ass.

OpinionBasketballMedium
While Lopez had a productive veteran career, teams relying on him for 30+ minutes or as a primary option generally didn't reach championship levels.

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.

Hot TakeCBBHotSubjective
Subjective opinion about the direction of college sports governance.
