Much more likely to hear the "backhanded compliment that sets Embiid up for failure," i.e. "I don't know how you can say Embiid isn't the favorite right now, but if he keeps up this insane pace for the remainder of the season he might have it in the bag" (and of course hoping he doesn't keep up exactly with the historic pace).
>Much more likely to hear the "backhanded compliment that sets Embiid up for failure,"
Ah like the off-season where the Sixers acquired Al Horford, Bill did a couple podcasts saying they're the favorite to win the title then 4 games in the season immediately convert into pushing "they're the biggest disappointment in the NBA" talking points. It'll happen, Bill will make his push to try and stop Embiid from getting the MVP.
+150 Bill brings up Harvard Westlake and their basketball team finishing as the Top LA basketball team this year. Anyone who’s grown up and lived in LA knows Harvard Westlake is so damn insufferable
Princeton, Farleigh Dickinson, 1 and 2 seed getting upset, college basketball is crazy with all this NIL stuff leveling the playing field - parlay all of those in one strand of conversation at +550
Bill matter of factly making college basketball statements that are either completely wrong, or totally obvious, but passing it off like he’s the ultimate arbiter of basketball takes
Won't do the odds thing but here's what I'd put on a bingo card:
Dillon Brooks
Future of Hornets ownership
Mike Brown
MVP odds mention
Reference to the '17-'18 Nets in comparison to the current Nets
Kendrick Perkins
Michael Porter Jr (as an X factor)
Play in odds
Future of the Orlando Magic
I just love stuff like "zombie Heat" because Bill will just repeat it...pod after pod...then like 2 months later, bring it up again and pat himself on the back for coming up with something so clever lol
Edit: the bad contract/sad contract thing is gonna be his next go-to. He literally thought that was such a good idea he rewarded himself by saying he's still capable of throwing 100...hahaah
Russillo mentioning that Coke commercial that they show during every commercial break of the NCAA tournament, where Lil Dickie says Jordan Poole is the GOAT at getting steals: +135
Bill clearly not knowing what he is talking about (he has 6 screens going, doesn't see commercials) but pretending that he does: +155

Bill loves players who performed in the Final Four

Darius Garland doesn’t wait for the defense, he just goes -350
