The James Harden for Ben Simmons trade was a lose-lose for both teams

I think you go back to the trade and neither team won. It was the classic lose-lose trade, like both teams in, in a weird way, got a little bit worse from this trade.

The trade is widely viewed as one of the most disastrous 'star' trades in NBA history for both sides; Simmons never recovered his form and the Sixers eventually traded Harden again after another playoff disappointment.

I am the last person in the world who still believes in Ben Simmons

I'm, I'm, I'm the one sucker alive that still believes in Ben Simmons. So I'm like nets could still get some out of them. Crazy, stupid irrational. So I'm not giving up on Ben Simmons. I'm the last person in the world because I'm like six, 10 point cards don't grow on trees.

Ben Simmons' career continued to decline due to injuries and mental hurdles, making the belief that he could still be an elite piece incorrect.

The Suns are definitely going to win Game 7 against the Mavericks

I tend to agree. But now the sons are in a spot where they're playing against Lucca in a game seven where he can easily be the best player on the court. ... Right before we hopped on Hank, you said the sons are definitely gonna win game seven. Yeah. A hundred percent.

The Mavericks famously blew out the Suns in Phoenix in Game 7, leading to a massive Suns choke job narrative.

It would be better for the future of the Mavericks if they lose Game 7 to the Suns

I'll take it one step further. How's this for take, it would actually be better for the future of the Dallas Mavericks. If they lose this game. ... if they had gotten blown out in the second round, then I feel like mark Cuban would kind of like have to go nuclear and try to put something good together and get like an awesome player to team up with Luca to take that next step.

Subjective. However, the Mavs made the WCF and eventually traded for Kyrie Irving later, suggesting they didn't need a total nuclear option after that run.

The Lightning are psychological locks to beat the Maple Leafs in Game 7

They've been there. They've experienced it. They've played as a team. They've won championships. This is the first round. ... Toronto has the pressure of a city that needs a championship and an entire country that needs a championship.

The Lightning won Game 7.

The Jets will finish between 7-10 and 9-8 this season

So I just want to talk about jet schedule, my prediction, what? ... Well, it's either going to be low level seven and 10 high level nine and eight.

The 2022 Jets finished exactly 7-10.

There will be a quarterback controversy in New England where Bailey Zappe challenges Mac Jones

Maddie. Think about this magic Mack Jones gets benched for Bailey. ... I think there's going to be a court quarterback controversy in new England. That we're is going to actually like really tank them. I'm just saying why they draft Bailey just saying,

A massive controversy did emerge in the 2022 and 2023 seasons, with 'Zappe Fever' taking over and Jones eventually getting benched multiple times.

The Over for the Bills-Rams kickoff game will be my biggest bet ever

I've never done a game of the year, but I, I think I'm in advance calling that my game of the summer ... the over is going to have her and I'm going to, I'm going to like save money as much as I can over the summer bit by bit by bit and squirrel it all away to make this my biggest bet ever. I just, I can envision that being like a 48 47 ballgame.

The Bills won 31-10. The total was 41, which went Under the closing line of roughly 52.

If the Capitals win this Stanley Cup and the next, they are officially a dynasty

I did say when they were up three, nothing. I was like, if we win this Stanley cup and the next Stanley cup, does that count as a dynasty taking into account the 2018 Stanley cup that they have?

The Capitals lost in the first round in 2022, so the condition was never met.

The Grizzlies might actually be better without Ja Morant

We have a new narrative. That's very fun. Are the Grizzlies better? Without Ja Morant? ... the stat is the warriors or sorry, the Grizzlies are now I think 21 and six without Ja Morant.

While they had a great record without him in the regular season, Ja Morant is an All-NBA talent and the franchise's centerpiece; the Grizzlies struggled significantly without him in subsequent seasons.

A bone bruise stings at first but then you are fine because bones don't move

Yeah, no, like a bone bruise. Just like stings at first. ... And then it's like, it's a bone, so it doesn't really move. So it's like not really sore. So just to go with it. ... bones move, but muscles are moving the bone, the bone doesn't actually move

Bones move at joints; a bone bruise is extremely painful because bones are highly vascularized and innervated. It's not a 'two-hour' injury.

There might be as few as one intelligent civilization per galaxy

I think there's a good argument that there might be a very few of those. And actually there's a reasonable argument we might assume there's about one per galaxy on average, any one time, which means that we're it.

This is a theoretical position in astrophysics that remains unproven but is a significant part of scientific debate.
