Ava Hudson is the best volleyball player I've ever seen

Ava Hudson was insane. She might be the best volleyball player I've ever seen before in my life. And that's saying a lot.

This is a subjective opinion about player greatness.

Cal Raleigh is a legitimate MVP candidate and deserves more national attention

Cal Raleigh is the catcher for Seattle Mariners. He has 23 home runs and that's insane. It's nuts that he's doing this as a catcher... He won't win MVP, but he's got my vote. First catcher with 20 home runs before June.

Raleigh is statistically one of the best power-hitting catchers, though winning MVP is unlikely for a catcher on a non-dominant team.

Auburn and Duke are the only two teams capable of winning the National Championship this year

Auburn is just really fucking good... They went into Kentucky and they whooped the shit out of Kentucky. I keep trying to figure out who else could win. And it's gonna be Auburn and Duke.

Neither Auburn nor Duke won the National Championship. Florida (a 1-seed) won the title, beating Houston in the final. Both Auburn and Duke lost in the Final Four.

Drake deserves an at-large NCAA Tournament bid no matter what happens in their conference tournament

Texas does not to be deserved to be in. They're bad if like Drake gets kept out instead of Texas. If Drake doesn't win their conference, I'll be very upset. I'm gonna say it right now. Drake deserves to be in no matter what.

Drake did make the 2025 NCAA Tournament but via automatic bid (winning the MVC tournament), not an at-large bid. They were a #11 seed and beat Missouri in the first round. The take was about deserving an at-large bid, which became moot since they won their conference.

You must win a championship to be considered the face of the NBA

When has there ever been a face of a league that didn't win? Right. You have to win when it matters. You have to win a championship to be considered a face of this league. Agreed. It's not. And obviously if you win, that doesn't automatically mean you're the face of the league.

The definition of 'face of the league' is subjective but historically tracks with MVPs and champions.

The Celtics' loss to the Cavaliers was a 'statement loss' that will motivate them for the playoffs

A fully healthy Celtics team is not loose to the Cavs. It was an absolute ref show, but it was, it was. I mean it's good. It's, it's a, Mazzulla loves those games. He loves having things that he can use to motivate the team and and losing to a team that's gonna have a better record than them going into the playoffs like that. That's good. That was a good statement loss.

Whether a loss provides 'motivation' is unmeasurable.

10-minute quarters in the NBA would be bad for bench players and league parity.

I think it would be bad for bench players. There would be less parity in the league and there would just be, you know, all the stars could play more minutes. We do have a lot of stars, but I think for League parity it'd be bad.

This is a subjective opinion on league structure.
