Arguably the funniest thing about these former G League/NBA guys coming back to college this year is just how little difference they made for their respective teams

You know when I'm having a good day riding outside, I'll talk to my bicycle sometimes. I don't think that means it's listening, but I also haven't built my career to where I'm dependent upon people believing my bicycle is sentient.
