Jalen Brunson is a top 10 player in the NBA

I can't remember loving a player this much... I think it's fair to say he's at, he's in the convo of a top 10 guy in my opinion. He's definitely in my top 10.

Subjective ranking, though Brunson finished top 5 in MVP voting in 2024.

The ESPN NBA halftime show is terrible compared to TNT's Inside the NBA

I don't wanna watch [Stephen A. Smith's] halftime show. It's awful. When they go from TNT to him, I'm like, this is the biggest turnaround [downgrade] I've ever seen. ... It's just not good TV to me.

Media quality is inherently subjective.

Jayson Tatum has no aura

Boston is an amazing team, but they're just not fun. No. Tatum is not fun. He has no Aura. Tatum is like, once your mom starts being like, this isn't fair. It's like, shut the fuck up dude... No, you don't get greatness from a supportive mom. You need a bit of like, yeah, maybe he should be on the bench.

Aura is an inherently subjective social media concept.

Daniel Jones is not a franchise quarterback for the Giants

Eli [Manning] had a fucking arm. What are you talking about comparing Daniel Jones? Jones actually plays like the way racists talk about black quarterbacks. All he can do is run... I have a hard time watching Daniel Jones. He was at the Comedy Cellar one night and I was like, I don't even care. That's a bad level that he's my starting quarterback.

Jones' 2023 season was a disaster before his injury, and the Giants' future with him remains a major point of contention.

Giannis Antetokounmpo will eventually play for the Knicks

I still think Giannis is gonna end up on the Knicks... I asked him, because Giannis after the benefit was like, 'You a Bucks fan?' I was like, 'Fuck the Bucks, I'm a Knicks fan.' ...He goes, 'Well you never know where I end up next free agency.' and his brother kind of was like nodding. They wanna be in New York.

Giannis signed a three-year, $186 million extension with the Bucks on October 23, 2023, just weeks after this episode.

The New York Liberty will be the next New York team to win a championship

The honest question is probably the liberty. ...I love their team. I love Stewie and all I love the whole team. I think they could do it this year.

The Liberty lost in the 2023 WNBA Finals to the Aces shortly after this episode aired, but Sam was right that they were the closest NY team to a title (and they won in 2024).
