USA Basketball losing to Nigeria is actually good for the sport

This is good for basketball. I like, I love those people. I don't care. You know, it's, it's, it's shown the, all the good that the United States has done on an international level. The fact that these teams who used to just look up to us and get autographs from our players after the games are now able to compete, it really goes to show you what a great job United States basketball has done in spreading the game.

This is a subjective framing of a factual event (Team USA lost 90-87 to Nigeria in an exhibition).

The Suns are still going to win the NBA Finals despite the Bucks' Game 3 win

I do think that the [Bucks]... they have enough guys to make this a series. I do still think the [Suns] are gonna win, but that was a great performance to come home.

The Bucks won the next three games to win the series 4-2. The Suns did not win.

The NBA rigs series to make them go longer and more exciting, and fans shouldn't complain about it

The NBA, when it needs a series to go a little bit longer, we'll send a guy [Scott Foster] and you'll make sure that it goes a little bit longer. I like that. People need to quit doing is complaining about [it] being rigged. They rig it to make it better. It's Buffalo Wild Wings. They rig it to get us as close as seven-game series as possible. I want more, right?

This is a subjective theory about league officiating and entertainment strategy.

I'm officially over the 8K 'fan-cam' because it makes fans perform for the camera

I'm done with AKA [8K]—the fans and AK, I'm over it... the best fan moments that you have is when the fan doesn't know the camera's on them. With 8K, they have to get close enough so that you know that the camera's on you. So it's everyone going crazy for the fan for the camera. It's basically like watching a jumbotron.

Personal preference on broadcasting technology.

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.
