LeBron James literally owns the entire nation of Canada and the city of Toronto

LeBron owns them. He literally owns the entire state of Canada and the city of Toronto.

The Cavaliers went on to sweep the Raptors in this series, further solidifying the 'LeBronto' era.

The Indiana Pacers were the toughest competition for the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference

What if the Indiana Pacers were the toughest competition for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the East? I'm just saying. You can now say that.

The Pacers were the only team to take LeBron's 2018 Cavs to seven games in the East, though the Celtics also took them to seven in the ECF.

Ben Simmons should be eligible for Rookie of the Postseason next year because he didn't show up for this one

Do you think Ben Simmons should be eligible for rookie of the postseason next year because he didn't show up for this one?

This is a satirical comment on Simmons' poor performance and the ongoing joke about his extended rookie eligibility.

Terry Rozier is going to get a massive contract

Terry Rozier's going to get paid. [He]'s still got two more years left on his deal, I think. Can you pay everyone? No.

Terry Rozier signed a 3-year, $58 million contract with the Charlotte Hornets in 2019, which was considered a significant payday.

I have zero confidence in Barry Trotz because he is garbage

Listen, I'm still very confident. I have zero confidence in Barry Trotz because I think that he's garbage.

Barry Trotz led the Capitals to their first-ever Stanley Cup championship just one month after this take was made.

Mickey Callaway and Dave Eiland are the real deal for the Mets

I believe in Mickey Callaway and Dave Eiland. I think that that might be real. Like, I have more faith than a Met fan would normally have in what's going on.

Mickey Callaway's tenure with the Mets was viewed as a failure, characterized by poor decision-making and a sub-.500 record over two seasons before being fired.

I think all the quarterbacks drafted in the first round have very high bust potential

Darnold, Rosen, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Baker, you could tell me in three years all out of the league, and I would be like, yeah, okay. Because it's one of those things in the NFL, you just talk yourself into these guys.

While Josh Rosen and Sam Darnold were largely busts, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson became superstars, and Baker Mayfield has had a productive career, making the 'all out of the league' claim very wrong.

Sam Darnold has the highest floor of any quarterback in the 2018 draft class

He seems like he has the highest bottom to me. If he all these guys don't work out, I think Darnold's bottom is the highest.

Darnold struggled significantly with turnovers and consistency throughout his Jets tenure, and Rosen was the only one who flamed out faster among the top picks.

The Curse of Apollo in the Kentucky Derby is absolute BS

To be honest with you, 2018, it's absolute BS. It should have gone up in flames six years ago with a horse named Bodie Meister... now this year there are two horses, Justify... and Magnum Moon... it matters not even a little bit.

Justify won the 2018 Kentucky Derby, becoming the first horse since 1882 to win without racing as a two-year-old, effectively ending the curse.

Justify is the most likely winner of the Kentucky Derby

I think Justify is probably the most likely winner, although he's going to be the favorite.

Justify won the 2018 Kentucky Derby and went on to win the Triple Crown.

Midnight Bisou will win the Kentucky Oaks

I think the winner of the Oaks is going to be a horse named Midnight Bisou... She comes from behind, makes this electrifying move from off the pace.

Monomoy Girl won the 2018 Kentucky Oaks; Midnight Bisou finished third.

Brooklyn bourbon is a superior product and better than Kentucky bourbon

Brooklyn bourbon... it's actually been rated as being better than Kentucky bourbon, and it's a superior product. And people from Kentucky are too dumb to realize it.

This is a subjective and inflammatory take meant for comedic effect and pot-stirring.

David Fizdale will win 32 games with the Knicks

He's going to get 30 wins. I'll go 32. I'm going to say he's going to be a little bit more successful... [based] on the fact that Porzingis is going to have one and a half healthy legs.

The 2018-19 Knicks were disastrous, winning only 17 games, far below the 32-win prediction.
