Matt Barnes And Stephen Jackson, Celtics Up 3-0, Hank Recaps His Night With Tom Brady + US Open And Fyre Fest

The Celtics will win the NBA title on Friday night

I'm gonna say right now, the [Celtics] are gonna win on Friday night. I don't know if that's a fact, but I feel like they're the better team. Well, that's a fact. They are the better team. And the Mavs have quit.

Jalen Brown should be the NBA Finals MVP

I do agree with Hank that Jalen Brown—it should be offense though, but—Jalen Brown was incredible. Like phenomenal. The Celtics team... Jalen Brown's gonna hit a big jumper to ice the Mavs out at home.

The Celtics are a perfect team with no holes

More than just Luca's defense, it's just more of a testament to the Celtics having no holes. They don't have a guy who can—you can sag off of. They don't have a guy that you can basically say we're gonna ignore them. They don't have a guy that you can put your worst defender on and say he's gonna be okay.

LeBron James is just a Brian Windhorst merchant

I would make the argument that LeBron is just a [Brian Windhorst] merchant that [Windhorst] made LeBron not the other way around.

Rory McIlroy's makeup sex with his wife is propelling his US Open performance

Now that [McIlroy] is back, he's having the makeup sex, and the makeup sex is propelling him to get in the hole.

Mid Pines is way better than Pinehurst No. 2

I think Mid Pines is way better... Way better test. Yep. I love the test talk. Whenever they say it's a great test... None of us shot five under at Mid Pines.

Dak Prescott will get a $300 million contract

Dax [Dak Prescott] is gonna get 300 [million].

I would take Trevor Lawrence over Drake Maye

[Big Cat]: Hank, would you take Drake Maye or Trevor Lawrence? [Hank]: Trevor Lawrence.

Tom Brady is a better football player than he is a person

Tom Brady is one of those people who you can absolutely say he's a better football player than he is person. I very much disagree with that [Hank's] statement.

Aaron Rodgers missing mandatory camp is not a problem

There's no problem. The problem is Robert Saleh handled the situation wrong and it sounds like a problem... There's no problem as long as he is there for week one. No problem.

JJ Redick getting the Lakers job is a result of white and LeBron privilege

I love JJ solid dude... but it's a lot of privilege you going on... definitely white and LeBron [privilege]. Yes, definitely... you knowing it was coming. It was the setup and how are they cool? When did they ever, when have you ever seen them cool? This is all, this was all a play.

I was a better basketball player than Ray Allen

Ray Allen... I'm not saying Ray wasn't great but... I'm a basketball player. I wasn't one dimensional. I just didn't shoot, I just didn't play defense. I did everything. So I look at myself as different than a lot of these guys that were one dimensional... I just felt like I was a better player.

Anthony Edwards is a top 5 player in the NBA right now

My top five right now I'm playing. Yeah. Luca, Jokic, Anthony Edwards, Shai [Gilgeous-Alexander] and I probably would throw Embiid.

The USMNT should reach the semi-finals in the 2026 World Cup

I think our ceiling is probably the semi-finals at the very best in the next World Cup... Quarterly finals in the World Cup. And we've got a good enough team. The players are good enough to do it.

Gregg Berhalter is a shitty coach

Our coach stinks. And having him get this tie against Brazil is gonna—because we are a loser country in soccer—[make people think] Greg's got the team on the right track and he's not gonna be fired... I do know that it's gonna be bad news if he's the coach of the World Cup team.
