I'm excited for the Celtics to beat the Knicks because New York fans never win anything and are too loud

New York fans are the loudest fans and never win anything and it's just fun to shut 'em up. I'm excited to beat New York.

The Knicks lost to the Pacers in the 2024 second round, so the Celtics didn't get to beat them that year, but the sentiment remains a standard Hank take.

The Detroit Pistons have a very bright future because of Cade Cunningham

The Pistons have a very bright future because Cade Cunningham stepped up, stepped up like that level playoff series, young team getting their first taste of it. It sucks to hear, but the Pistons have a very bright future.

The Pistons finished the 2023-24 season with the worst record in the NBA (14-68).

The Celtics will sweep the Knicks

I think it's a sweep. I think you guys [Celtics] got 'em. Sweep, easy.

The Knicks lost to the Pacers in the second round, so this matchup didn't occur in the 2024 playoffs.

Anthony Edwards is the new face of the league if he wins a title

He is, he's the face of the league if he can win a title and the Timberwolves are just a really good team all around.

The Timberwolves reached the WCF in 2024 but lost to the Mavs. Edwards remains a top candidate for the face of the league, but hasn't won the title yet.

Mavs GM Nico Harrison was right about Luka Doncic being out of shape and a defensive liability

Nico Harrison's a fuckhead. But was he kind of right? Everything that Nico Harrison was standing on—Luca being outta shape, defensive liability—did kind of come into play in this game. I still would rather have Luca on my team. But it was for one night, Nico Harrison went to sleep happy.

Luka went on to lead the Mavs to the NBA Finals later that month, somewhat silencing conditioning critics, though his defense remains a talking point.

LeBron James will not retire silently; he will have a massive farewell tour

LeBron James is not going to retire outta the blue and just walk off the court and that'll be it. He is going to have the retirement tour. Yep. He's going to go across the country and there's gonna be like a documentary crew that follows him everywhere.

LeBron returned for the 2024-25 season to play with Bronny, and no retirement tour has been announced yet.

LeBron James should opt out and take a pay cut to help the Lakers build a better roster

He could opt out and then take less. He can opt out and then willingly take a pay cut and say, I would like to get paid 35, $40 million next year. Which would be smart. Use that money to get a center, fill the roster around, get someone over seven feet.

LeBron opted out but eventually signed a 2-year max deal with the Lakers worth roughly $101M in July 2024.

Jokic and Kawhi will both have massive games in Game 7 of the Nuggets-Clippers series

I think both those guys are gonna be incredible superstars. I really do. Because Jokic always gets his stats and Kawhi has had a good series, but I think this is one of those games where we're gonna look up and it's gonna be, Jokic is gonna have 34, 18 and 11 and Kawhi is gonna have 39 points on like 85% shooting. That's my prediction.

This matchup did not occur in the 2024 playoffs; the Clippers played the Mavs and the Nuggets played the Lakers/Wolves.

The Capitals are going to 'skull fuck' Paul Bissonnette and the Maple Leafs in the Eastern Conference Finals

Paul Bissonnette, you better hope that you get your ass kicked in the second round because I wouldn't like nothing better than the skull fuck you in the Eastern Conference finals. And I will, I will skull fuck you. Tom Wilson will skull fuck you.

The Capitals were swept by the Rangers in the first round of the 2024 playoffs, making this impossible.

If the Hurricanes beat the Capitals, I will never masturbate to Brandy Love again

If the hurricanes beat the capitol, I'll never jack off to Brandy Love again. Ball's in your court. Mr. Beast is wrong. Also says that Brandy love is from Dearborn, Michigan. But she's a Hurricanes fan.

The Hurricanes did not play the Capitals in the 2024 playoffs (Caps lost to Rangers), so the condition was never met.

The Monfort brothers are terrible owners and the Colorado Rockies might be the worst team ever

We gotta get on the radar of the Colorado Rockies maybe being the worst team of all time... officially the Monfort Brothers, Dick and Charlie Monfort, we're looking at you, we're watching you, we're on your shit. We're just gonna say you fucking suck ass once every couple of months.

The Rockies finished 2024 with a 61-101 record, one of the worst in the league.

Fierceness is two to three lengths better than any other horse in the Kentucky Derby field

I think [Fierceness] is two to three lengths better than any other horse right now in the field... I think if he's ridden properly, I think [Fierceness]'s, you know, clearly, clearly the horse to beat.

Fierceness was the heavy favorite but finished 15th in the 2024 Kentucky Derby.

A prime Secretariat could not win a race with a 235-pound Big Cat in the saddle

No shot, Big Cat, no shot. I'm sorry to tell you that. [You would finish] probably dead last. Even if you were an accomplished equestrian, at that weight riding Secretariat? No. He'd be up the track.

Thoroughbreds carry ~120 lbs; 235 lbs would be a massive disadvantage that physics supports as race-ending.

The European basketball development system is superior to the US AAU system

Great development system out there [in France]... They coach it as a team sport. It's not the superstar thing. And if you have a shot to be an NBA prospect, you have like the top French general managers coming to your house... For the development of the game, there needs to be a change [in the US].

This is a widespread sentiment among NBA veterans and analysts (like Kobe Bryant in the past), but inherently subjective.

The Celtics are the heavy favorites in the East, but the Cavaliers will make it a battle

Boston is definitely the heavy favorite. Until somebody beats Boston, they're the team to beat... but do not disrespect the Cleveland Cavaliers because they're ready to rock and roll. And if you think there's gonna be an easy sweep, no, no, no, no. Don't get it twisted. You're in for a real battle.

The Celtics beat the Cavaliers 4-1 in the 2024 second round. While not a sweep, it was a fairly decisive victory.

A fake kidnapping is the only way to find out if a rookie is 'ride or die'

You gotta fake kidnap your boys if you wanna make sure that they ride or die... it's a simple question of: do I like this kid? And the only way to find out is you go down the line and it's fake kidnapping with a real gun on video.
