The Raptors are the first team that can actually be called 'World Champions' because they are Canadian

I think we can actually say world champions for the first time because they are Canadian. They have stolen our trophy.

The Raptors are indeed from Canada, making them the first non-US team to win, though 'World Champions' is still a marketing term.

Injuries are part of the game and shouldn't lead to an asterisk for the Raptors' title

Being healthy is part of winning an NBA championship. And I hate when people do the asterisks. Being healthy is part of winning an NBA championship.

This is a subjective philosophy on how to value championships.

The Golden State Warriors are officially a dynasty after five straight Finals appearances and three titles

I count anything three and four. I think yes. I'd say three out of four. Absolutely. Three out of five is when you really start to have the conversation. [But] three out of four and five straight finals.

The Warriors' run of five straight finals and three titles is widely considered a dynasty in NBA history.

The Kawhi Leonard trade is the most perfect one-year rental gamble in NBA history

The best trade ever for a one year guy... going all in for one year and being like, let's just do it. Let's have Kawhi come to Toronto. He might not stay... and just throw all of our chips in the middle, and it worked out. There's never been a trade like that that has worked so perfectly.

Kawhi left for the Clippers after one year, making it a literal one-year rental that resulted in a championship.

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.
