In April, the former pro golfer, Paige Spiranac, made some intriguing remarks about the NBA last year. The comments were mainly about LeBron James, his choices for Space Jam: A New Legacy, and the movie’s outcome. Not once, but often, we have witnessed Spiranac talking about different sports and expressing her views. Even her sports prediction for 2023 went viral among her fans. He has over 11 million followers across all social media platforms. Therefore, it is evident that everything she says is as necessary to her fans as any legendary player.

Therefore, she expressed her views about the NBA. We cannot deny that the NBA has a pool of excellent players, ardent supporters, lousy analysts, and hot takes. These elements contributed to the competition’s high level of interest, but occasionally some interpretations are scorching, prompting questions inside the league. However, it was said that the comments by the internet queen were equivalent to the kind of comments generally made by NBA analysts. But she changed the atmosphere by commenting on it, despite being outside the NBA community.

Let’s find out what golf beauty had to say.

What did Paige Spiranac say about the NBA in 2022?

The 2018 SI swimsuit model, Spiranac, has emerged as a star on the internet. Therefore, Points Bet made her the brand ambassador. Last year, she collaborated with them and made some ‘hot NBA takes.’ She sidelined Steph Curry and chose Klay Thompson as the better shooter. According to her, LeBron James was a great help to Anthony Davis, and an unknown name was also part of the conversation. Explaining her takes, she said“Klay Thompson is a better shooter than Steph Curry. Anthony Davis wouldn’t be top 75 if it wasn’t for LeBron. Jonas will be the greatest player of all time by the end of his career. “

However, it did not stop there; she called Julius Randle a lousy player, and according to her, Derrick Rose would be an excellent point card. “Julius Randle is the worst basketball player of all time. Derrick Rose would have been the greatest point card ever if he stayed healthy,” said the former pro golfer. Talking further, she mentioned Shaquille O’Neal as the dominant player. We cannot deny that he has been one of the greatest. Giving her expectations, she said, “Shaq is the most dominant player to ever play the game. Draymond is more crucial to the Warrior’s success than Steph, and Ben Simmons is a top 25 player in the league when playing.”

Many people concurred that several of these viewpoints were fascinating. However, others did not find it as worthy as it may seem. Even though it’s unclear which Jonas she was speaking about, Spiranac had high hopes for him. But she fears no one and always speaks her heart out. That is what she did last year, as well.

The video that became controversial

While talking more about former stars, she competed against some of the league’s finest players. However, regardless matter how sexy Paige’s opinions are, her fans appear to enjoy seeing her discuss sports; thus, according to Orlando Silva last year, these videos will probably receive more views on the following issues. And it happened. Her fans loved her 2023 sports predictions.
