Jake Marsh is the most accidental alpha I have ever seen

Jake Marsh is the most accidental alpha I have ever seen in my entire life. That's what makes Jake the true alpha is because none of this is intentional. It's all natural to him.

This is subjective social commentary on the office dynamic.

It should be easier to hit a shot if you are seeing three hoops like LeBron James claimed

Actually, if we're actually going into LeBron's brain and seeing through his eyes, shouldn't that make it easier to hit the shot if there are three hoops? It should have counted. he said he shot at the one in the middle. It went in the one in the middle.

Hot TakeBasketballHotSarcastic
Physiologically, seeing triple would not make shooting easier, but within the satire of the show, he's arguing the literal logic of LeBron's claim.

The Lakers will repeat as NBA Champions

I think, unfortunately, the Lakers are going to repeat. what you saw in the second half when he's – even though he's never going to be 100% again, [LeBron] just decides, like, oh, yeah, I remember I'm LeBron and I can go to the rim whenever I want and I can dominate this game.

The Lakers were eliminated in the first round by the Phoenix Suns in 2021.

The Celtics would beat the 76ers if they matched up in the 2021 playoffs

If we were playing the Sixers, we'd beat them. I'll say that right now. If we were playing the Sixers, we'd beat them.

The Celtics and Sixers did not play each other. The Celtics lost in the 1st round to the Nets 4-1. The Sixers were the 1-seed and reached the second round.

The NBA Play-In should only be a one-game sudden death between the 8 and 9 seeds

I just think that do 8-9. I'm cool with 8-9. I think the 7-10 thing is stupid. 8-9 sun death. One game. Yes, exactly. Eight, nine, sudden death, one game. Yes, exactly.

This is a matter of preference regarding league format.

Throwing no-hitters is 'choogy' and uncool now

I actually think that throwing no-hitters have gotten, it's like choogy now. Yeah. It's like kind of overdone. It's lame. seriously, like no hitters are lame now. no, these are not cool and guys strike out too much.

The 2021 season saw a record-tying number of no-hitters, supporting the claim that they became frequent/routine that year.

Tim Tebow is a 'Trojan Horse' who will eventually play quarterback for the Jaguars

I think Tim Tebow is kind of a Trojan horse deal. I think he might end up playing quarterback. because if you saw the handshake that he put on the other guy, that is a quarterback's handshake. flalessly executed. Tim Tebow, I think, is going to... If I were Trevor Lawrence, I would sleep very cautiously.

Tebow never played quarterback for the Jaguars; he was cut during the preseason and never made the final roster.

Max Verstappen will eventually be the F1 World Champion

Max Verstappen is going to be world champion. That's what everyone says. I believe it as well.

Max Verstappen won the F1 World Championship in 2021 (and several years following).

F1 teammates in Europe generally hate each other because they are each other's biggest career threat

Call a teammate in Europe, they fucking hate each other. Because it's the one guy that's going to kill his career. So they play team, but the reality is they both want to beat each other.

This is a subjective claim from a team principal with decades of experience; it's considered an industry standard view in F1.

Formula One needs a star American driver for the sport to truly take off in the US

That's what the U.S. need. We've got to get a decent American driver running in Formula One. And as soon as that happens, I think the US will just take off even more.

The sport did take off significantly due to 'Drive to Survive', even without a major American driver on the podium, but Horner's point about a US star remains a central goal of Liberty Media.
