The Will Smith slap meme will reach mass exposure quickly but will resurface during the NBA Finals

The countdown clock on [the meme] is finite. So like when Michael Jordan cried... it had a longer tail on it. This one it's like, okay, everyone's seeing it tonight and tomorrow. And then after that, it's going to take a big pause. I was thinking actually until football season, but when meme said NBA finals, he's absolutely right. The NBA finals are a hundred percent going to be ground zero for this move to resurrect.

Prediction Pop Culture Medium

The meme did indeed resurface during the NBA Finals, often used to describe one team 'slapping' another in blowout games.

Villanova should officially be considered a basketball Blue Blood

If you look at, you mentioned Bluebloods, these are four. I would even say Villanova might be a blue blood... I would take away one drop of blue blood from Kentucky, like Elizabeth Holmes, and I'm giving it to Villanova.

Opinion CBB Medium Subjective

The term Blue Blood is subjective, but Villanova's two titles in three years (2016, 2018) made this a common debate in 2022.

A UNC win would prove Roy Williams is a better coach than Coach K

If UNC wins, that would be an all-time vindication for Roy Williams, being a better head coach than Coach K... If Roy Williams picked the perfect time to walk away and his hand chosen successor beat Coach K who stuck around for year long, suck Fest... I think that's another feather in the cap for Roy.

Opinion CBB Hot

UNC did beat Duke in the Final Four, ending Coach K's career, which many fans used to validate Roy's success and succession planning.

Coach K's farewell tour is already a success because he reached the Final Four

Getting to the Final Four is like his farewell tour has worked. I've already admitted some defeat because getting to the Final Four is like his farewell tour has worked.

Opinion CBB Mild

Duke did reach the Final Four, which is objectively a successful deep tournament run for a final season.
