Tyrese Maxey is better than Jaylen Brown

I mean, Tyrese Maxey is better than Jaylen Brown for sure. Ooh, for sure. [Hank] would trade Jaylen Brown for Tyrese Maxey immediately.

While subjective, Jaylen Brown went on to win Eastern Conference Finals MVP and NBA Finals MVP in 2024, making this take age poorly in the short term.

The Eastern Conference is a cakewalk for the Celtics

Yeah. No, the East is a cakewalk... They should lose one, maybe two games. The over under should be three. Maybe one series next, next game.

The Celtics went 12-2 in the Eastern Conference playoffs (4-1, 4-1, 4-0), losing only two games total, exactly as Hank predicted.

The Bucks' 2021 championship was a fluke

Some people could argue that the Bucks Championship was a fluke because it was off the bubble and all the teams that had to play a long season deep into the next year got bounced and the Nets got injured and beating Chris Paul isn't that impressive.

This is an inherently subjective historical interpretation and cannot be proven or disproven.

Doug Gottlieb was right to question Caitlin Clark's shooting mechanics

I actually thought Doug Gottlieb got unfair hate for that... Every single professional athlete works on their mechanics constantly... It's not saying she's bad, she's incredible... He should have phrased it better. That there could maybe be a way for her to become even better of a shooter.

This is a matter of opinion regarding sports media criticism and athletic development.

James Harden will have a legacy bad game with under 10 points in the playoffs

This is gonna be a legacy game I'm calling it right now. This is a James Harden legacy game. And by that I mean I hope he scores less than 10 points.

In Game 6 against the Mavericks (the elimination game), Harden scored 16 points. He did not score less than 10.

Fierceness is the best horse in the Kentucky Derby by three or four lengths

If all the horses run their best races, Fierceness wins the race, hands down. Talent wise, Fierceness is probably three or four lengths better than any other horse in the field.

Fierceness finished 15th in the 2024 Kentucky Derby, failing to live up to the favorite status.

Forever Young has travel and track concerns heading into the Derby

Forever Young is the most accomplished Japanese horse that's ever come over here... but I've got two concerns... the travel bothered him... the other thing, the trainer seems to be borderline obsessive about keeping this horse out of this kickback spray in his face.

Forever Young actually ran very well, finishing 3rd in a photo finish, suggesting the travel concerns were minimal.

Ovechkin's days of being a physical force are limited

I think the days of where he's running guys through the boards, you know, a force to be reckoned with out there, those might be limited. But, you know, I think when it comes to goal scoring, he's, I think he could do it till he is 45 years old.

This is an ongoing career evaluation of an aging superstar.

The Florida Panthers will win the Stanley Cup

I got Florida and Colorado [in the finals]... I think it's the Panthers year. I just, they, they're a fun team to watch they, they play so hard. Their big guys are playing great.

The Florida Panthers did win the 2024 Stanley Cup, though they defeated the Edmonton Oilers, not the Colorado Avalanche.

I like getting a single bug bite

I like a good bug bite. Just a good, just a good old fashioned bug bite. Like maybe on the top of your shin. Nice little spot. You can scratch it a little... A single bug bite on the top of your shin. Just a little itch. Not so bad.

This is a purely subjective personal preference.
