The Oklahoma City Thunder are the far and away best team in the NBA

Now the thunder look like the far and away best team in the NBA. They suffocate you on defense. Anthony Edwards had a pretty nice night and it still didn't matter. They're just that much better.

The Thunder lost in the second round to the Dallas Mavericks, and the Boston Celtics were widely considered the best team and eventual champions.

The 2024 Thunder might be the worst version of the team we see for the next five years

You could make the case that this might be the worst Thunder team that we're gonna see in the next five years. If the thunder can win with this roster, imagine what they're gonna do.

The Thunder improved significantly the following season and continued to acquire talent, making this prediction look prescient for their competitive window.

Aaron Nesmith went into 'God mode' during the Pacers comeback against the Knicks

To say the next [Knicks] choke though does a disservice to Aaron Nesmith going into God mode. That was God mode. What he did in those three minutes or whatever it was, maybe a little more was insane.

Nesmith's shooting and defense were objectively critical in that specific comeback window.

The New York Knicks are a cursed franchise

I was just in shock. Yeah. The Knicks are just cursed. 'cause like if OG [Anunoby] makes that free throw and then Tyrese [Haliburton] steps on the line and gets it too... over time Ty, you don't get the goal end now you just lose.

Inherently subjective, but the Knicks' history of injuries and playoff heartbreak supports the fan's perception.

The Florida Panthers will win the Stanley Cup

And then the Panthers are gonna win the cup. I put the Panthers in the thunder category. They just fucking worked the hurricanes again.

The Florida Panthers did win the 2024 Stanley Cup, defeating the Edmonton Oilers in the finals.

Jim Irsay lived exactly how a billionaire NFL owner should live

I think Jim Irsay is the closest to how I would wanna live my life if I was a billionaire. He had a football team... He collected sick guitars... He lived how you should live if you are a billionaire.

Subjective opinion on lifestyle and billionaire ethics.

Jim Irsay was the first NFL owner with the 'balls' to stand up to Dan Snyder

I will never forget the fact that he is the first owner to have the balls to say fuck you to Dan Snyder when Snyder threatened to blackmail every other owner. And he goes, yeah, try me. 'cause everything that I've done is out in the open.

Irsay was indeed the first owner to publicly state at an owners' meeting that there was 'merit to remove' Snyder.

The 2006 NBA Championship is my favorite title

I have my own [trophies]. Got three of 'em... My born. Okay. 2006. All right. Yeah. That's my favorite one. Yeah, that was a good one. That was a real good one.

The 2011 Miami Heat lost the Finals because they hadn't learned to sacrifice yet

After we lost in that finals, that's humbling. We all was very, we all got some humble pie very quickly... We realized we was trying to show that we could play together and we wasn't sacrificing at first, we were hooping.

Wade's internal insight into team dynamics is authoritative for that roster.

LeBron James is 'a goat' to multiple generations of fans

LeBron James is arguably a goat. He's the goat, he's a goat to, to generations. But the generation before him, it's very hard for people before him to call him their goat. But the generation after that, he's the goat to them.

This is a philosophical take on the evolution of sports fandom and greatness across eras.

Minnesota will win the championship because Anthony Edwards has the 'sauce'

If I had to pick right now, I would say Minnesota Timberwolves win it all. Why right now? It is the aura of [Anthony Edwards]. It's the way that the aura of that young man, the way that it filters into everyone that he's playing with.

The Timberwolves lost to the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals and did not win the championship.
