Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, and Jrue Holiday are officially a 'Big Three'

The big three [of the Bucks] auto stepped up. They are the big three. So it was Giannis, Middleton, and Holiday. They're the first team in the NBA Finals since 1985 to have three guys go for 25 points on 50% shooting in the same game.

The Bucks won the title and this trio was instrumental, cementing their status as a legitimate championship core.

Chris Paul's foul on Giannis Antetokounmpo in Game 5 was one of the dirtiest plays possible

I'm officially out on Chris Paul. I'm team fuck Chris Paul for life now... because that foul on that alley-oop is like the dirtiest thing that you can possibly do. It's so quick... you can't like try to injure the team's best player. That dirty ass move. I'm out.

Whether a play is 'dirty' is subjective, but this play was widely criticized by media and fans at the time.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's viral quote about ego, pride, and humility makes no sense

Giannis had a quote after the game... 'When you focus on the past, that's your ego. When you focus on your future, that's your pride. When you focus on the present, that's humility.'... Am I the only one? The quote makes no sense. I don't really understand how you can focus on the exact present all the time... I thought that the pride and ego thing should have been swapped.

The logic of the quote is a matter of philosophical interpretation.

The Bucks' playoff record sequence will finish as a perfect palindrome

If they end up winning on Tuesday night, the Bucks this playoffs are going to go a perfect sequence of four wins, two losses, two wins, a loss, two wins, a loss, two wins, a loss, two wins, two losses and four wins. It's exactly 4-2-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-2-4. It's a palindrome.

The Bucks did win Game 6 to finish the series 4-2, completing the 4-2-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-2-4 sequence exactly as predicted.

Winning The Open Championship is arguably more prestigious than winning The Masters

It's a low-key great trophy. I actually have a part of me that thinks I would rather win the Open Championship than the Masters. It's just so much class... just for so many years after the fact, you just get to hear Scottish people address you as the open championship winner.

Golf prestige is entirely subjective.

Bryson DeChambeau is 'unworkable' as a brand spokesperson

Do you know how big of a dickhead you have to be to get fired as a spokesperson for somebody... and they're about to fire him? Like the guy that they went out and begged to be a part of the team and be the face of Cobra drivers, they're like, 'Fuck, we can't work with this guy. He's unworkable.' He is never happy.

Cobra's tour rep publicly called Bryson's comments 'stupid' and likened him to an 8-year-old shortly before this episode.

Max Verstappen is currently the best driver in the world

He's [Max Verstappen] the best in the sport right now. All time salty Instagram post after... but right now he's number one... Max Verstappen is the best racecar driver right the second.

Verstappen went on to win the 2021 World Championship, though in controversial fashion.

The crash between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen was just a 'racing incident'

I actually took Lewis Hamilton's side. I thought that he—Robbins racing. They call it a racing incident... Like a bang-bang targeting call that isn't targeting... football incident. Let's keep playing. My whole thing is, I can't get up for the F1 races.

F1 stewards actually gave Hamilton a 10-second penalty for the incident, but many fans and analysts still debated if it was just a typical racing clash.

LeBron James is a terrible actor in Space Jam: A New Legacy

I have a couple of big bones to pick with LeBron James though. He's a terrible actor, number one. No, horrible. He fucking killed Bugs Bunny... LeBron, as an actor, was not great.

Critical reception of LeBron's acting in the film was generally poor, reflected in the low Rotten Tomatoes score mentioned earlier in the episode.

The 3D versions of Looney Tunes characters look gross and should never be made

I would also like to say that they should never make cartoons 3D. It's weird... It's never going to look good. And yeah, it's like, they're trying to make like the cartoon—it's like gross. You don't add that extra dimension to it.

Aesthetic preference is subjective.

Space Jam: A New Legacy would be a 10/10 movie if LeBron James wasn't in it

I actually think what this movie would have been way better without LeBron James. Oh, absolutely... besides all of the scenes that he was in. Good job LeBron. Yeah, that's probably the best way to review the whole thing. Outside of LeBron, this movie was a 10 out of 10.

The movie's quality is subjective, though the Looney Tunes segments were often cited as the film's only saving grace.

Team USA Basketball is doing a 'rope-a-dope' and will win the Olympic Gold

I'm thinking about it, I think they're [Team USA] actually going to win the gold. I think they're doing a little rope-a-dope... they're doing some drinking before games and that might be why they're playing—no, they're just, you know, they were out the night before. It's a tune-up. They're not taking this seriously. Once they take it seriously, they will beat everyone.

Team USA did win the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics.

The internet trend of saying 'The Beatles suck' is objectively wrong

A decent amount of the internet is now just co-opted to take the Beatles suck and it blows my mind... You can say you don't personally like the Beatles... but saying they just suck is... the dumbest thing to say... Music that is occurring right now would not happen if it wasn't for the Beatles.

The impact of the Beatles on modern music is a widely accepted historical fact.
