I am an analyst and opinionist now, not a newsbreaker

I don't define myself as a newsbreaker. And I'm not even a newsbreaker anymore. I mean, that's one reason I left ESPN was because they wanted to keep me in a news-breaking role. And I wanted opinion and analysis. I'm so happy now to be in the role of an opinionist and an analyst because I do have an educated opinion.

This is a subjective claim about his own career focus and professional role.

I don't agree with homosexuality — I don't make the rules, I just follow the Bible

I don't agree with homosexuality. So that's, you know, that's living as a Christian. I don't make the rules. I just try to follow the rules that God said, according to the Bible.

He was sitting on a comedy podcast. He was not doing a bit.

I've had homosexuals at my house and we're cool

I've had homosexuals at my house that are friends and we're cool. So it's not a matter of me not being able to get along with anybody and be friendly with people.

The word 'homosexuals' appeared in this sentence exactly twice.

Jay Onrait is 'soft' and only criticized me out of bitterness and Canadian bias

Jay Onrait is soft. I think his ire with me stems from two things. One, bitterness that Fox Sports 1 didn't bring him back. And two, during the playoffs, I called Canada soft... I think some of it is people tend to think it because look, I'm not saying I would have broken the Kawhi story but I wasn't trying.

Personal opinion on the motivations of a rival media personality.

Kawhi Leonard would have joined the Lakers if the Clippers hadn't traded for Paul George

I still believe that had the Clippers not been able to pull off the deal for Paul George, [Kawhi Leonard] would have joined the Lakers. I don't think he wanted to live anymore in Toronto. I think he wanted to be in SoCal, but he also wanted a second star.

While it was widely rumored, it remains a hypothetical 'what if' that cannot be definitively proven.

The Clippers are currently a better team than the Lakers

I think the Clippers are the better team right now... one, their pieces fit together... all the role players know their roles... when we look at the Lakers, we see questions all over... Frank Vogel, when we know if LeBron had his druthers, Ty Lue would be the coach.

The Lakers won the 2020 championship while the Clippers blew a 3-1 lead in the second round. The Lakers proved to be the superior team that season.

The Lakers will win a championship within the next two years

I think the Lakers will win it [a championship] within the next two years. I was going to say that. I think the Lakers will win it within the next two years.

The Lakers won the NBA Championship in October 2020, well within the two-year window.

LeBron James will finish his career with only four championships

Over under LeBron James championships for his career, four and a half. I would go under. I think he wins one more. One more.

LeBron James won his 4th title in 2020. As of 2024, he remains at 4 championships, making the 'under 4.5' take correct.

Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving will not win a championship together

If you put a gun to my head and said, will they [Durant and Irving] win a championship, I think I would say no. But I hope they do, and I know they're capable of doing it.

The Durant/Irving era in Brooklyn ended in early 2023 with both players being traded. They never won a championship, or even reached a Conference Final, together.
