Alexander Ovechkin deserves the heat for the Capitals failing in the playoffs

If you want to be a top player in any league, you're going to get this heat. It just happens... It happened to Peyton Manning. It's happened to A-Rod. If you don't win and you're supposedly a star, you're going to get the heat.

Brian Windhorst is in LeBron James' doghouse for not voting him MVP

Windhorst didn't vote for LeBron. How dumb is Windhorst? That's his meal ticket... He was like, someone will vote for LeBron, and I can just tell LeBron it was me. And then no one voted for LeBron.

The Cavaliers could beat the Warriors in the Finals

The entire season has been about the Warriors and then a little bit about the Spurs. The Cavs, they can do like the whole nobody believes in us shit, which is unreal with a guy like LeBron on your team. And I don't know, man. I wouldn't be shocked if they beat the Warriors. I really wouldn't.

The Cavaliers did indeed beat the 73-win Warriors in the 2016 NBA Finals after trailing 3-1.

Kevin Love is the best player of all time because he is 12-0 in the playoffs

People forget that Kevin Love is undefeated in the NBA playoffs... He's undefeated. 12-0. The Cavs literally never lost with Kevin Love. Kevin Love has literally never lost in the playoffs. He's maybe the best player of all time.

While he was technically 12-0 at the time of the take (4-0 in 2015 before injury, 8-0 to start 2016), he eventually lost games in the 2016 Finals and is not the GOAT.

I side with Darren Rovell over Dana White

Ravel and Dana White are in a fight, which is the nerd and the jock. I obviously side with Ravel here. It seems as though he's in the right.

Correct. The UFC was sold in July 2016 for approximately $4 billion, confirming Rovell's report that Dana White had initially denied.

I'm sick of eSports being pushed on regular people

i'm not into esports but i am into drone racing... Esports are for all the people who think the NFL is going away... Let's have a bunch of nerds play video games and we'll watch and we'll take over for all of our, you know, sports that we've loved for 100 years. Get the fuck out of here, man. I'm sick of the esports thing. I really am.

I could knock out Floyd Mayweather in a punch-for-punch fight

Punch for punch. I get three months to train my neck... Punch for punch. I could knock out Floyd Mayweather. People forget Floyd Mayweather is like 140 pounds, and I'm like 230, baby... As long as I can train my neck, that's the only stipulation I get.

While untested, it's widely considered delusional by sports fans, though the physics of a 100lb weight difference in a 'no-defense' punch contest are debated.

This guy thinks he just cracked the lotto and Michael Jordan makes a dollar off every picture on the internet.

Steph Curry's unanimous MVP is bad for basketball because it ruins the debate

The news on this press conference is not that he won. It's that he managed to get 131 media people to agree to the same thing at the same time... When you can get the media people not to basically pull their pants down and go, I'm going to vote for the wrong guy just so people will notice me, you've done a remarkable thing... he's been horrible for basketball. He's broken the game, first of all. He helped ruin the regular season now. And now he's in the process of breaking the playoffs.

The NBA deserves bad officiating because they retired the great iconoclasts like Joey Crawford

Joey Crawford's retirement is one of the darkest moments in what has been a pretty lackluster season... Officiating in the NBA was better with two guys who knew what they were doing... now they get Scott Fosters. Now they get Tony Brothers. They deserve it. They deserve to have nothing but crappy officiating from now until the end of time.
