Recap
HankThe Celtics will defeat the Knicks in six games
I feel good. I'm happy. I said I wouldn't be worried if they went down oh two. They came, they came out, they showed what they needed to do. I feel like that's gonna be, they're gonna win this series in six.
MaxJayson Tatum is not a superstar
Jason Tatum is not a superstar... He didn't play on the Olympic team. He didn't play.
Big CatThere are only four true superstars in the NBA: Jokic, Giannis, Luka, and the aging veterans
I have like four superstars in the whole league... so it's Jokic, it's Giannis, it's Luka, and then it's, there's like the aging group of superstars that's like Steph, LeBron, KD. It's not much. I don't go Superstar to me is if you said their name like to your mom or someone on the street, they would immediately be like, yeah, of course I know who that is.
Big CatThe Nuggets will win the series against the Thunder
I think it's correct score. You think so? I think it's two Two... 'cause I think it's, they, the way the Nuggets have won their two games has been very like we're a team that knows how to do this whereas the thunder cannot... championship DNA deserves two wins in this game.

PFT CommenterMen should not be sedated when getting a tattoo
I have a take. And that's if you get sedated for, you shouldn't get sedated for a tattoo as a man... I would never get sedated for a tattoo.
Who Is Back
Big CatRunning a marathon in six hours does not count as finishing a marathon
People do run marathons in like six hours and then they, and they, and then they post on Instagram... No you didn't. Six hour marathon is not doing it.
Interview
Rachel NicholsI gave my NBA MVP vote to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
I actually voted for Shai. And it was a very, very, very hard vote... The Thunder had 18 more wins than the Nuggets. Right. At some point I don't always vote for the guy who's the highest in the standings, but at some point that matters. Right.
Rachel NicholsLeBron James should take significantly less money to win another championship ring
If it were me, I would say I will take significantly less, as less as it helps basically to make sure that we get other people in here who can help us win. Because here's the thing, you can't buy a championship ring after you retire all that money... He's not gonna feel any difference in his life.
Rachel NicholsThe Celtics will win the NBA Championship
Before the season I picked the Boston Celtics. With the Boston Celtics down two to one in this series, I still pick the Boston Celtics... they're the best complete team and they just won last year.
