Chris Paul is confirmed 'good' at basketball, but he's not 'great' yet

Chris Paul has always been good. In fact, the word good is the perfect word. That's a good word to describe Chris Paul. He's good... He's not great yet. But I mean, he looks unstoppable.

Chris Paul is widely considered a top point guard of all time, making the 'not great' label a stylistic choice based on championship rings.

I want Chris Paul to fail so I can keep making fun of Ryan Russillo

I really don't want to lose this take. I don't want him to win a championship. Then we can't have this take. That's very fun to throw around and just pretend that it's all about rings... Ryan Russillo has made it to a point where it's like, I want Chris Paul to fail because I know how much it matters to him. And that's really what male friendship is about.

The Suns would eventually lose in Game 7 of this series to the Mavericks, so Big Cat got his wish.

Luka Doncic's lack of conditioning is actually a good sign for Mavericks fans

It's actually a great lesson in life of why you should always stay a little bit overweight because you can always say I haven't peaked. I can still reach my level of best shape of my life. And when I do, y'all better watch out. And that's what Luka can do.

Luka's conditioning remained a topic of debate for years, though he continued to be an MVP-caliber player regardless.

James Harden is no longer an elite player or a number one option

We know James Harden actually isn't an elite player in the NBA anymore. He's not a number one option on any team. No, he's just not... James Harden isn't good enough to win a series on his own. He's not even good enough to make a series competitive on home.

Harden's scoring averages and efficiency continued to decline from his Rockets peak in the following years.

This is the year the Toronto Maple Leafs finally figure it out

Leaf's are fine. They'll figure it out. That's the Leaf's year. I'm still confident in the boys up north.

The Maple Leafs lost in the first round of the 2022 playoffs to the Tampa Bay Lightning in 7 games.

The Japanese horse Crown Pride is a legitimate threat in the Kentucky Derby

Every day in the last two weeks, big cat, it is looking more and more possible... He has been sensational here in Churchill Downs. And this morning he had a workout... everyone was like, holy crap, did you see that Japanese horse work this morning? I mean, the horse looks great.

Crown Pride finished 13th in the 2022 Kentucky Derby.

Epicenter is my pick to win the Kentucky Derby

Epicenter is the perfect horse to take advantage of an inside post position because he has tactical speed... I think it's a great post position for Epicenter, probably why that's why I'm picking him.

Epicenter finished second in the 2022 Kentucky Derby, losing to long-shot Rich Strike.

Canelo Alvarez is the pound-for-pound greatest boxer in the world

You have the current GOAT, which is Canelo Alvarez pound for pound, number one, the biggest star in the sport... he just fluctuates up weight classes and just basically wants to fight all champions.

Canelo would lose his very next fight against Dmitry Bivol immediately following this interview.

Jake Paul will never be a world champion

Jake's a little bit different because he's at least boxing now. Right. He thinks he can be a world champion never in a million years, but there are actually some boxers that are worse than Jake Paul.

Jake Paul has not won a major boxing world championship.

Tyson Fury is not actually retired

Tyson Fury beat Dillian Whyte the other day, he face timed me off a dozen times the next day asking for Anthony Joshua's number. So he ain't retiring for nothing. I mean, he just wants to make as much with Tyson Fury... I think he will always be there.

Tyson Fury fought several more times after this claim, including against Derek Chisora, Francis Ngannou, and Oleksandr Usyk.

The NBA should limit teams to 30 three-point attempts per game

What if there was a limit to the amount of three point shots you could take? So teams now have to strategize essentially like you get to take 33 pointers again... Imagine going into a fourth quarter and being like, okay, the suns have 15, three pointers left and the Mavs have used all theirs.

The NBA has not implemented such a rule.
