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.

The Knicks will probably win the series in five games or even sweep the Cavs

I still think that the, the Knicks are probably gonna win in five. They could even pull off the sweep. I guess the only real question we have for you, 'cause we already, we declared that the New York Knicks have won the series after game one. Correct.

The series is currently ongoing with the Knicks leading 2-0.

The NBA should rebrand the 'granny shot' as the 'pimp grip' to encourage players to use it

Nobody, no player in the NBA wants to shoot a free throw granny style. But if it's pimp grip, that sounds pretty fucking cool. Listen, if it goes in, it doesn't matter. Like if he and he would, he actually probably get some endorsements from it.

This is a comedic suggestion and not a verifiable fact claim.

I want the Thunder to win so we can love Victor Wembanyama longer before the inevitable hate cycle starts

I know who I want to win. I want the Thunder to win this series. And the reason why I want the thunder to win this series is because I think if the thunder win, we get to restart the clock on how much longer we get to love Weby before we hate 'em. If the Spurs win this series and then they win their first championship and Weby dominates, we're gonna eventually hate Weby.

The outcome of the series is pending, and the 'hate cycle' is a subjective sociological prediction.
