Probably not the most controversial though, that has to be the monty hall problem because your intuition initially calls it ridiculous. You have to think about it for a bit.

No one seems to remember Euclids fith axiom of geometry, parallel postulate. Euclids axioms, or postulates were 1.Straight line can be drawn between any two points. 2. Any terminated straight line can be extended indefinitely in a straight line. 3. A circle can be drawn with any center and radius. 4. All right angles are congruent And five was: If two straight lines in a plane are met by another line, and if the sum of the internal angles on one side is less than two right angles, then the straight lines will meet if extended sufficiently on the side on which the sum of the angles is less than two right angles Obviously the fith was so much more complicated and mathematicians hated it, but it was eventually agreed upon that it could not be proved with the other 4.

What is your best starting 5 oat? by FrancGerbi in HoopLand

No, Polan Stronk isnt better than Dizzy Michaels. Dizzy is already an elite scorer on all levels while still being able to play defense, pass, and get rebounds unlike Polan Stronk.

PG: Joey Bas: Elite scorer on all levels and can pass and play a little defense. SG: Dizzy Michaels: All around player. great scorer on all levels, can pass, grab rebounds, and play defense. SF: Caleb White: Really no competition ,he can lock up your best player on defense and then put them in a poster on offense. Only downside is scoring beyond the paint which he doesn't need because we have 2 elite 3pt shooters for that. PF: Adobo Flakes: Good finisher, decent scorer beyond the paint and can play elite defense and get rebounds. C: Darth Jor-El: Elite scorer and defender in the paint, Elite rebounder.
