Pablo Torre: 我认为“酷”是一个主观的概念，很难定义。但从NBA球员的角度来看，现在似乎出现了一种“酷”的危机。很多球员都在模仿别人，缺乏原创性，这使得他们显得不够酷。我认为“酷”的根本原则是反权威和颠覆性，而现在的NBA球员越来越公司化，越来越缺乏这种精神。
Mina Kimes: 我认为“酷”的关键在于真实性和原创性。安东尼·爱德华兹之所以显得很酷，是因为他没有模仿任何人，他做自己。很多球员都在模仿别人，这使得他们显得不够酷。此外，努力想变得酷反而会显得不酷。我认为女性运动员比男性运动员更酷，因为她们更真实，更不做作。
David Dennis Jr.: 我认为人们总是认为比自己年长、自己从小就崇拜的人很酷。我们现在可能无法真正确定什么是酷，因为我们已经不再是年轻人了。现在的NBA球员缺乏包装，我们更多地了解他们的社交媒体形象，而不是他们真实的“酷”。我认为球员们应该比他们可能表现出来的更酷，他们应该有自己的风格和个性。
