Giannis Antetokounmpo was not as injured as the public was told

Giannis was not as injured as we were told that he was because just from the start, he went out there and he was the most athletic player on the court.

While Giannis returned quickly and played well, medical reports confirmed a significant hyperextension that would have sidelined most players; he simply recovered freakishly fast.

The Suns will sweep the Bucks in the NBA Finals

I'll say [Suns] and four, [Suns] and three from right now. It was if Chris Paul plays like that, there's nothing you can do.

The Bucks won the next four games in a row to win the series 4-2.

Phil Mickelson is the only reason The Match is successful

Phil Mickelson, he's the guy. He's the guy who makes [The Match] go, and he gets all the credit in my mind for being just fun to be around.

This is a subjective opinion about entertainment value.

Aaron Rodgers should retire from football right now following his win in The Match

I think speaking as a football fan, if Aaron Rodgers decided that was his last competitive event in the history of his life, I think us as fans would applaud him, and he doesn't owe us anything more, and next stop Canton.

Hot TakeFootballHotSarcastic
Rodgers continued playing for several more seasons and won another MVP after this take.

Federico Chiesa is the next GOAT of soccer

That dude Chiesa, my guy Chiesa, he's the next GOAT. Like, we might be seeing a torch event happen in the next year, two years, where Messi passes that torch.

While a great player, Chiesa suffered significant injuries and never reached the GOAT or Messi-tier status predicted.

England will dominate Denmark and win Euro 2020

I think England's going to win. I think they're going to dominate Denmark. And I think that Italy versus England on [Sunday]... that's up in the air.

England beat Denmark but lost to Italy in the final on penalties.

The Browns will win exactly 11 games in the 2021 season

I'm thinking 11 wins, regular season, nothing crazy.

The Browns went 8-9 in the 2021 season.

Joey Chestnut is pound-for-pound the greatest athlete of all time

I really do think pound for pound [Joey Chestnut] is the greatest athlete of all time. Maybe you could say Secretariat, but I don't. No, I think... Joey Chestnut has won 14 titles now. 14. No one has ever won that many titles at anything.

While 'greatest athlete' is subjective, Chestnut's statistical dominance (16 titles as of 2024) is a verifiable fact of unprecedented success in a competitive field.

My Murray State team would have beaten the college teams of my current NBA teammates

We all know Murray State would have beat all of them. [referring to Gonzaga, Duke, Michigan State teammates]

Inherently unverifiable as these teams cannot play, but Murray State did reach the second round during Morant's tenure.

The logic of Scientology makes the most sense compared to other religions

Scientology is a way to answer questions. Religion is a way of answering questions. Before any of them start extorting you for money and then they all become frauds, Scientology makes the most sense.

This is a subjective theological and philosophical opinion.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a 1,000-unit lock to beat the New Orleans Saints by 40

I'm leaving you with a 1,000-unit game of my career. Tampa Bay Bucs minus 4 by 40. [Referring to the regular season matchup]

In the 2021 season, the Saints swept the Buccaneers in the regular season, including a 9-0 shutout in December.

Olympic horses should receive medals instead of the human riders

Why are we giving the people who ride on the horses medals? Like, shouldn't these medals go to the horses? ... How come the horse doesn't get that medal?

Subjective opinion on Olympic medal policy.

Shohei Ohtani is the next Babe Ruth and exactly what baseball needs

Shohei Ohtani... he's doing it all. So he's in the Home Run Derby... then he's going to pitch in the All-Star game. And he's going DH in the All-Star game. And this guy, like this is what baseball needs. ... I'm pumped for Shohei Ohtani to be the next Babe Ruth.

Ohtani went on to win the 2021 AL MVP and has continued to put up unprecedented numbers, solidifying the Babe Ruth comparisons.

Rob Manfred should refuse to drug test Shohei Ohtani for the good of the sport

Rob Manfred, do not piss test Shohei Ohtani whatever you do. I don't care what he's on right now. The only way you could fuck this up is if you stuck a little test strip into a stream of urine and then you just were just a big bummer for America.

MLB continued its drug testing program; Ohtani has never tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs.
