You can't beat the Lakers if Anthony Davis is hitting three-pointers

Anthony Davis, if he doesn't make all those three-pointers, it's a much different game. You can't beat the Lakers if Anthony Davis is wet from three.

The Lakers won Game 2 largely behind Davis' performance, though they ultimately lost the series 4-2 to the Suns.

The Clippers must blow it all up if they lose their first-round series

You have to figure it out because you know what happens if they lose the series? You got to blow it all up. You got to trade Paul George. Everybody. Trade everyone.

The Clippers actually came back to win the series and reached the Western Conference Finals, so they did not blow it up.

The 2021 Brooklyn Nets are the greatest team ever assembled

The Nets look like the greatest team ever assembled tonight... Ever... No hyperbole.

The Nets lost in the second round to the Bucks after injuries to Harden and Kyrie, failing to even reach the Finals.

The Nets will only lose if their stars have off-nights or are distracted by off-court issues

You have to hope that KD and Kyrie have off nights and that James Harden went out to a strip club... I was thinking I was like, you have to take James Harden out to the club. You have to get a Twitter troll to go after KD. And then you have to have like some type of fact or like, whoa, moment with Kyrie that he just spends the whole time being like, is the world flat or not?

While injuries ultimately did them in, the Nets' stars did occasionally have distraction issues, particularly Kyrie.

It is better to interview bad athletes than great ones

It's honestly better interviewing players that were not very good at hockey than players that were great. And that goes for most sports too... Like, would you think about all the great athletes out there that have transitioned to being in the front office? They all stink at it.

This is a subjective preference of the host, though often shared by fans of sports media.

Bryson DeChambeau is going to get injured due to terrible lifting form

He's got bad form. He's going to get injured. Terrible form. I don't want him to get injured, but he's going to get injured. He was trying to do hammer curls... with 100 pounds just for the gram. He was using his shoulders. Popcorn muscles.

Bryson DeChambeau suffered from wrist and hip injuries in early 2022, which he partially attributed to his speed training and intense workouts.

No visor quarterback will ever win a Super Bowl

We know that a visor quarterback will not win a Super Bowl... No visor quarterback has ever won a Super Bowl, just a heads up.

As of the current date, no starting quarterback has won a Super Bowl while wearing a tinted/dark visor during the game, though clear visors are common.

Aaron Rodgers has benefited from the Packers' organizational culture he now claims to hate

Aaron Rodgers has benefited from the Packers' organizational culture... that's why they have had success is because they are an organization that is always looking forward... the best time to get a quarterback is when you don't need one. That's what they did. So Aaron Rodgers has benefited... but now he doesn't like it.

This is a philosophical critique of the Rodgers/Packers drama that occurred in 2021.

A 600-foot cheesesteak made of individual subs is a total fraud

It's a bunch of regular cheesesteaks, footlong cheesesteaks stacked up next to each other. It's ridiculous to say... If you make a 600-foot... it has to be connected.

The 'record' was widely mocked for being individual sandwiches placed end-to-end rather than one continuous loaf.

The Lakers will bounce back and win the Western Conference

The Lakers, unfortunately, are going through their struggles. But I think they'll bounce back tonight. I'm expecting them to come out the West.

The Lakers did not win the West in 2021; they were eliminated in the first round.

Michael Jordan is the GOAT over LeBron because he has no skill deficiencies

MJ always is going to be there at the forefront... MJ is my guy... for me, [LeBron] can't, it's the skill set. And it's the skill set that separates them from me. And MJ has no deficiencies when it comes to the game of basketball on both ends of the floor.

This is a subjective opinion in the ongoing GOAT debate.

The Milwaukee Bucks will win the 2021 NBA Championship

I'm going to go with – I know this is going to be crazy... I got Milwaukee in the finals for me... And then at the end, said and done, Milwaukee's walking away with it.

The Milwaukee Bucks did indeed win the 2021 NBA Championship.

Kevin Owens might not have had a WWE career without my success

I think I opened the door for unlikely builds to get a better look at WWE. You know, a guy like Kevin Owens may not have gotten that look had it not been for the success that I had.

This is a widely accepted view in wrestling circles, though it cannot be definitively proven.
