Seth Curry is a better pure shooter than Steph Curry

Seth Curry is the better pure shooter than Steph Curry... Steph has to create his own shot. Seth is much better off the pick... Seth is better away from the ball.

While Seth often has a higher 3P% due to shot selection, virtually no one considers him a better 'pure shooter' than Steph, who holds almost every volume and range record.

The Warriors are Draymond Green's team

The Warriors are a lot of fun to watch right now and I'm gonna say it it's Draymond's team... He had 16, 10, and 7 was everywhere. He is the heartbeat of the Warriors. He unlocks Steph Curry to score 37 points.

The Warriors' identity is inextricably linked to Steph Curry, but Draymond is widely considered the defensive/emotional leader.

I do not count my 2017 NBA Championship as earned

To be honest with you, I really don't count that championship... I got hurt going into the playoffs... and I'm always someone that like, I've never been given anything. So to me, I always wanted to earn it. And I felt like because I wasn't out there, you know, on the court with my guys sweating and fighting that it was kind of really just it was given to me.

This is Barnes' personal feeling about his career accomplishments.

My best NBA games were played while high

My best games in the NBA were high... After [shootaround] I would go home, I'd smoke a joint, then I would take a nap. And then I'd wake up, shower, eat, and bounce... It was probably within four or five hours of the game possibly.

Barnes has stated this consistently in interviews; whether his performance was actually statistically better is subjective but his use is a confirmed claim.

Kevin Durant will leave the Warriors because it's always 'Steph Curry's team'

I just think if there was anything that kind of maybe – maybe not – I wouldn't even say bother him, but just kind of I want to do it on my own type situation... they win three in a row. They win four. They win five. This is Steph Curry's team, and, you know, they were fortunate enough to get KD.

Kevin Durant did indeed leave the Warriors in July 2019 to sign with the Brooklyn Nets.

Baron Davis would be one of the all-time greats if he had stayed healthy

Best all-around point guard I ever played with, Baron Davis. When he's healthy, no question. If Baron Davis would have had a healthy career, he'd be talked about as one of the greats. There's no question about that.

Davis was an elite talent but his career totals and longevity are often cited as reasons he's not in the 'greatest ever' tier.

Kevin Durant is the best player in the world

Kevin Durant to me is the best player in the world right now and will probably go down as one of the most efficient, effective offensive players we've ever seen.

Durant was the reigning 2x Finals MVP at this time, though Giannis and Kawhi were also in the conversation.

Bran Stark will become the King of Westeros

Bran comes down from Winterfell, stands up out of his wheelchair, and raises his arms and shows he's the true Night King... but I think it's Bran. But it's Bran just because all the betting sites are like Bran.

Bran Stark became 'Bran the Broken', King of the six kingdoms.

Jon Snow will kill Daenerys Targaryen and the dragon

I've said that Jon Snow's going to kill Dany... I think Jon Snow's going to kill Dany and kill the dragon. Because he's going to be like, we can't have dragons in this world. Look what they did to King's Landing.

Jon Snow killed Daenerys in the series finale. He did not kill the dragon (Drogon), who melted the Iron Throne and flew away.

Bran Stark being King makes perfect sense because he knows all of history

They elect Bran... because he knows all of history... he's literally a walking, well, not walking, sorry... rolling history book. He's the perfect one for the realm... He's above everyone.

This was the reasoning given in the show ('Who has a better story than Bran?').

Arya Stark will die in the Game of Thrones series finale

I think Arya's going to die too. Yeah. There's my prediction. Yeah, she seems like she's a likable enough character. She's got a little bit of that spunk in her where she can get herself into some trouble.

Arya Stark survived and sailed 'West of Westeros'.
