The Problem of Scale: Mathematical modeling shows that as a conspiracy grows from two or three people to dozens, the likelihood of a mistake or betrayal increases exponentially.
Sam Presi brought up 3 things that have already stuck out to me:
The Thunder are 189-57 over the last 3 seasons, a 77% winning percentage.
The starters from OKC's championship run played only 11 (!!!) games together during the 2025-26 season.
In his exit interviews with the players, there was a ton of accountability, and the injury excuse wasn't used.

@TheDunkCentral@anthonyVslater A really good answer(s) the the actual questions asked. Shame they clipped this quote. Watch the whole video in the post, it's only 2 minutes. So hack putting a snippet of the quote up like that's the sentiment.
Draymond Green says sports media fu*king sucks:
“No one talks basketball anymore. But no one knows basketball anymore because the sh*t is just moving too fast. Huh? Everything’s moving too fast. And so we want to pinpoint the thing that we can slow down. Shai falling. Shai at the free throw line. Everybody’s complaining about Shai getting too many foul calls. And going into game 6, Shai had shot five more free throws on the series than Wemby. But the whole complaint is Shai getting too many foul calls. I don’t understand it.”
