Jimmy Butler going to the Rockets would be healthy because he would blow everything up immediately

Jimmy Butler gets in, and he just blows everything up. I think that's way more entertaining and, frankly, more healthy [than the Rockets' current passive-aggressive state].

Butler never signed with the Rockets, so the impact cannot be verified.

Daryl Morey is playing with house money and the Jimmy Butler pursuit is his ultimate move

It's almost like he's playing with house money at this point, and Jimmy Butler, J-Butt, is the ultimate house money move.

Morey's tenure ended in 2020 without a title, suggesting the 'house money' risks didn't fully pay off for the Rockets.

The Lakers are going to win the title next year

Hank, I told you this, the minute that Klay Thompson tore his ACL, you told me to chill. The Lakers are going to win the title. Chill. Okay. All right. I'll chill. I'll keep chilling.

The Lakers did win the 2020 NBA Championship.

LeBron James giving Anthony Davis his number 23 jersey means it is now Davis' team

I think that means that this is Anthony Davis' team though. I think it does. If we're talking Batman and Robin, the Batman definitely wears number 23.

This is subjective but leans incorrect as LeBron remained the primary leader and Finals MVP in 2020.

Step Brothers is a movie that holds up perfectly between commercial breaks on TV

Step Brothers is so rewatchable. You know what's crazy? When I first saw Step Brothers I didn't think it was that good but now if you see it on TV every scene every like in between commercial breaks holds up on its own and you have to watch the whole thing.

This is a subjective opinion on movie quality and rewatchability.

Poutine is not the national food of Canada

Poutine is not the national food of Canada. I have never had poutine before. Now suddenly everybody's Mr. Poutine. This is poutine. This side and the other thing.

While poutine is widely considered the national dish, its official status is debated and its rise in popularity is a relatively recent 20th-century phenomenon.

Wrestling heels must stay in character at the arena to maintain credibility with fans

My thing is when you're a bad guy, a heel, you, of course, obviously just the character you play, but when you're on site at the arena, you have to play the character. You have to because if you don't, if you're nice to everybody and then an hour later when you're in the ring and trying to get people to boo you, people are like, oh, I'm not going to boo you.

This is a professional philosophy in the industry.

AEW's existence will force Vince McMahon to improve the WWE product

It's also going to stick a boot up Vince's ass. You know, you're not just, if you're running a race and no one's behind you, you slow down, you stop, have a drink, whatever. If there's someone right on your heels and you're about ready to lose the race, you're going to run as fast as you can.

WWE's business surged in the years following AEW's launch, though the product's creative improvement is subjective.

Dwayne Haskins finally gives Redskins fans something to be excited about

We did draft Haskins, which it gets me excited as a fan. I mean, if we were going into this offseason and camp and preseason without Haskins, look at the rest of the quarterbacks on the team. I mean, I can't get excited about that.

Haskins' career was largely a disappointment and did not turn the franchise around.

NASCAR crew chiefs must bend or break the rules to be successful

If you take a car that's legal from front to back, completely legal through the rule book, you're not going to run very well. You're not going to do well. And the crew chiefs, the crew chief that I want, the team that I want, are the ones that are willing to gamble and be aggressive with the rules, bend the rules, maybe break a few rules, because I know that that's what I'm competing against.

This aligns with common knowledge in motorsports about finding 'grey areas'.

The NBA will never actually shorten the 82-game season because everyone loses money

You just have to remember, if they shorten the season, all the players are going to get paid less. So there's no way they're ever going to shorten the season, and all the owners are going to make less money. So it's never going to get shortened.

The NBA has not shortened its 82-game regular season schedule.

Adam Silver's public 'discussion' of fan ideas is just a brilliant PR move to appease Reddit

Adam Silver is a genius because he just basically goes on NBA Reddit, reads the most upvoted idea for how to fix the NBA, and then says, we're going to discuss it in this offseason, and maybe we'll make some changes.

The In-Season Tournament did eventually become reality, proving Silver was actually listening to those 'dumb' ideas.
