Game 3 against the Grizzlies is LeBron James' first true legacy game

It is now, I'm gonna say it right now. Game three for LeBron is a legacy game. His first ever legacy game. His entire legacy if he doesn't score 40.

The Lakers won Game 3 and LeBron had a solid game (25 pts), though he didn't score 40. The Lakers eventually won the series, preserving his legacy for that round.

Karl-Anthony Towns is the 'worst best guy' in the NBA

Is Karl Anthony Towns just the, the worst like, best guy in the league. He's gotta be right. He probably the worst, best... He's so good. And he also sucks at the exact same time, right? He's the yeah, he's the best player that sucks.

This is a recurring theme for KAT, who often puts up big stats but struggles with foul trouble and consistency in high-stakes games.

The NBA rigged Game 3 of the Sixers-Nets series to extend it

No, I mean it, it was just blatant at halftime. There was, there was something that happened. There was something that happened at halftime... The Nets had zero fouls in the second half until five minutes to go in the fourth quarter. It was insane. They obviously wanted a series they wanted, but they wanted the game to go more than four games.

The Sixers won the game and the series (sweep), making the 'rigging' ineffective if it existed.

The Warriors will win the next four games and sweep the rest of the Kings series

Or the Warriors a sweep from here on out. I was feeling that once you, once you, once you in PFT, once it got past like five minutes of Pro King stuff... this just screams warriors in the next four.

The Warriors won the series, but they didn't sweep the rest of the games. It went to a Game 7.

The LIV Tour will eventually do for golf what Tiger Woods did in the late 90s

You just give the live tour three years. And I predict that every kid, every young kid across America, it's gonna do for golf what Tiger Woods did for golf in 19 98, 19 99. It's gonna be a phenomenon.

While LIV merged with the PGA Tour in a sense, it hasn't created a 'Tiger-level' youth phenomenon, and its popularity remains contentious.

Tiger Woods could still win one more major despite his ankle surgery

Even after I just said that it felt dirty and it's like, I'm actually already back to maybe he could win one more because he is Tiger Woods... I'm going to erase my retroactive take and then stick with my original take that he could win one more.

Tiger has not won a major since this take. His health continues to be a major obstacle.

CJ Stroud is a risky draft pick because he is an Ohio State quarterback

CJ Stroud is a very good QB. Very, very good. The only thing is that I got against him is that he's an Ohio State quarterback. And how many really great Ohio State quarterbacks we've seen coming out that just haven't really panned out

CJ Stroud had one of the greatest rookie seasons for a QB in NFL history, immediately debunking the 'OSU QB' stigma.

Bryce Young is too small and has a slender frame that will lead to injuries

I get the Bryce Young hype. I get it. The thing is... you can't put 30 pounds on Bryce Young. His frame is, his frame is just, it does, it's not gonna work. If you look at his frame, he's slender at the shoulders... Because of that, like, he's gonna be more injury prone.

Bryce Young has struggled in the NFL, partly due to size concerns, though injury hasn't been the primary issue so much as performance behind a bad line.

Anthony Richardson is a 'follower' because he copied Will Levis hitting the ceiling at his pro day

Anthony Richardson did it and said that he hit the roof on purpose because Will Levis did it. This is my red flag. I want my quarterback to be a leader, not a follower. Like he was copying someone else. He was like following the lead.

Richardson has been praised for his leadership in Indy, rendering this 'pro-day ceiling' concern irrelevant.

Hendon Hooker will be the best quarterback of the 2023 draft class

Hendon Hooker wins... I think Hendon Hooker has the best combination of falling to a bad spot and having good enough talent to like make it in the long run.

Hooker has barely played behind Jared Goff, while Stroud and Richardson have shown significantly more promise/production.
