Giannis Antetokounmpo's Game 6 performance was one of the top three or four of all time, better than Michael Jordan or LeBron James.

I think it was one of the top three or four Game 6 performances of all time... Michael Jordan would be one. The other would be LeBron James against the San Antonio Spurs... and it [Giannis's performance] was better than both of those. It was 50 points in a clincher.

Statistically, Giannis's 50/14/5 with 5 blocks is arguably the greatest closeout game in NBA history. It is a matter of opinion, but widely supported by analysts.

The crown of the NBA has been passed from LeBron James to Giannis Antetokounmpo.

I think the torch discussion... I feel like that's not even the correct discussion to have. I feel like we should have a crown discussion. I think the crown is now [Giannis's]. I think that it's no longer King James. I think it's King Giannis.

While Giannis took the mantle of the best player for a period, the NBA hierarchy is always debated. LeBron remained highly relevant, and other stars like Jokic and Curry would soon win titles as well.

The Milwaukee Bucks winning the NBA title is good for the game of basketball.

I'm going to put this out there. It's good for the game. The Bucks winning is good for the game.

This is a qualitative judgment about the health of the league, often echoed by fans tired of stars forcing trades to big markets.

Jackass Forever will be the start of a massive streak of movie hits.

Jackass Forever, the trailer came out... and I feel like it's just going to be hit after hit after hit after hit for the next few months because there's so much of a backlog [from the pandemic].

Jackass Forever was a hit ($80M on a $10M budget), and late 2021 saw massive hits like Spider-Man: No Way Home.

The Houston Texans might not even play the upcoming NFL season.

I wouldn't be shocked if the Texans were like, we're not doing this season... we might've reported that the Texans won't play the season like three months ago. It's exclusive. They're going to stink a lot.

The Texans did play the season, finishing 4-13.

Tom Brady will run for President of the United States in the future.

I will have a comment on [Tom Brady's] performance at the White House. He looked great standing up there speaking to our nation. I could see it happening in the future. I really can... I am running for President. He was great dropping jokes. Good looking guy. Everyone loves him. Winner.

Brady has not run for office and has since moved into a broadcasting career with FOX.

I will get an Olympic rings tattoo if I win the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics.

If I win, I'll think about it and go on from there... [Big Cat: outsource it for you, where our listeners decide] That's where I may get the tattoo if I win gold. Yes, there's a lot of stipulations to this.

Morikawa finished T4 in Tokyo (lost a 7-way bronze medal playoff) and did not win gold, so the condition was never met.

3D sports broadcasts will be forced back into the mainstream within the next two years.

I do predict that it's about that time for them to start forcing 3D down our throats again. It's like every three years, like 3D sports is coming back and it always sucks. It's never been good, but they're going to try because they feel like they can make money off it now. So I predict in the next, like two years, they'll start forcing that on us.

3D TV remained dead. While Apple Vision Pro eventually introduced 'Immersive Video', there was no widespread push to 3D sports in the 2021-2023 timeframe.

Dabo Swinney only opposes a 12-team playoff because he is afraid of Clemson being upset.

Dabo doesn't think there are 12 teams good enough for an expanded college football playoff. That was another quote... He just doesn't want to have the chance of being upset, but yeah, and he's got his spot locked up forever.

Clemson's dominance actually faded after 2020, and Dabo has since had to deal with the 12-team expansion reality without his previous level of success.
