The Celtics will become the first team in NBA history to come back from down 3-0

They [the Celtics] just need to win two and if they win two, they're winning four. And everyone in this room knows this... It was exactly reminiscent of the Yankees and Red Sox game three. They lost like 19 to eight. Got absolutely blown out... They came back, they won. They shocked the world First team to ever do it. Why not us?

The Celtics won three straight games to force Game 7, but they lost Game 7 at home to the Heat, failing to complete the comeback.

LeBron James is not actually retiring; he is just using the rumor to distract from being swept

Well, he's not gonna retire. That was classic LeBron to basically be like, oh, I got swept. Let me talk about retiring real quick so that the story then becomes LeBron might walk away instead of LeBron got swept.

LeBron James returned for the 2023-2024 NBA season and did not retire.

LeBron James will play at least two more seasons to match up with his retirement tour and Bronny's career

LeBron James, the 2025 All Star game. I'm assuming they'll rename a trophy after him... That will be the LeBron Fest. That's what's gonna happen. He's gonna play two more years. There's no chance.

LeBron continued playing through the 2024-2025 season to play with Bronny.

Anthony Davis being ranked #53 on the NBA's Top 75 All-Time list is insane

Where's Anthony Davis on the top 75? ... 53. That's crazy. That's insane... This is just looking at Anthony Davis, the freak athlete, and then comparing him to old players that were by any objective stretch. Much, much greater NBA players than Anthony Davis.

This is a subjective matter of sports ranking debate.

The Knicks should not retire Carmelo Anthony's number; doing so would be 'soft'

You should retire numbers for, for winners. Not like nice guys that you're... I'm just saying it's soft.

The Knicks have not retired Carmelo Anthony's #7 as of mid-2024, though it remains a topic of debate.

The Lakers have a chance to pull off a miraculous comeback against the Nuggets

I still think there's a chance right now maybe that's, maybe that's wishful thinking. But I think if anyone's going to do it, it's this squad. ... All we know right now at the point that this has come out is that the Lakers have begun their comeback. It's currently one in three and we don't know what's gonna happen after this.

The Lakers were swept 4-0 by the Nuggets.

The backup quarterback is the best job in all of sports

You gotta realize like we are the biggest backup quarterback fans in the world. Like we think that is the dream job in any, in any sport. ... Chase Daniel backup quarterback in America. He's thrown like, I don't know, maybe like 200 passes and he's made like 50 million, like 15 years. Yeah. Pretty good job.
