NBA teams should be allowed to adjust the dimensions of their own three-point line to create a home-court advantage

Every game would be played differently based on where the three point line is would be exciting to watch. [Big Cat]: I think we said it with Kirk Goldsberry maybe, but yes. This would be awesome. Different dimensions like in baseball. Yeah. This would be so sick.

This is a hypothetical 'what-if' for the league.

Jayson Tatum is the NBA equivalent of Brock Purdy

My take is that Jayson Tatum is the NBA equivalent of Brock Purdy... Jason Tatum is awesome. Jason Tatum is not, he plays defense on, not on the same level as [Nikola] Jokic and Luca [Doncic].

This is a purely subjective comparison between two players in different sports based on their supporting casts.

Luka Doncic doesn't play defense while Jayson Tatum is a two-way star

Luca [Doncic] doesn't play defense. Jason Tatum plays defense. [Tatum] is the leader of the team that's the best team in the NBA and then potentially wins the NBA championship. Those conversations [about him being top five] deserve to be had.

Tatum is widely regarded as a superior defender to Doncic, though the 'top five' ranking remains highly subjective.

Jayson Tatum is not a top five player in the NBA; he is ranked sixth or seventh

Tatum is not a top five player either. He's like seven, which is fine. Which is awesome... Tatum's an awesome player. He's not the same as the top three or four guys in the league.

NBA player rankings are inherently subjective, though Tatum frequently lands in the 6-8 range in major media polls.

I will shave my head if the Celtics win a championship

I will shave my head if the Celtics win a championship. stop it. Like, oh, that was the perm bet you knew in the back of your head... No, I give you my word that I will shave my head if the Sellies win a championship.

The Celtics won the 2024 NBA Championship, and Hank eventually shaved his head on a live stream.

The NBA should start its season on Christmas Day and play only 60 games

I am a big proponent of starting it like [a] 60 game season started on December 25th. Remember the year, the lockout year? That started. That was awesome. It was good [the] best schedule... I think every sport outside of football should do smaller seasons.
