I will win the World Series of Poker Main Event again

I still think I'm going to win [the World Series of Poker Main Event] sometime, and I'll tell you why. It has the best structure of any poker tournament we have... you just have a lot of time to work your chips up.

Hellmuth has not won the Main Event again since this 2017 prediction, though he has won several other bracelets.

The Ravens team president is named Dick Gass

I was reading an article about [the Ravens], and I forgot the team president's name is Dick Gass. Dick Cass, but it's Dick Gass.

His name is Dick Cass, not Dick Gass.

LeBron James is dead and Steph Curry murdered him

LeBron James is dead. D-E-D. Dead. Steph Curry murdered him. Kyrie backstabbed him, went behind his back. Very Shakespearean, this whole thing.

The statement is metaphorical; LeBron James is physically alive and remained the top player in the league for years following this.

The NBA offseason is currently better than Game of Thrones

LeBron James, the NBA offseason has now become, I hate to be the guy who's like the offseason is better than the real season, but it's making a run for its money because it's better than Game of Thrones.

Subjective comparison between a sports league's news cycle and a TV show.

Tobey Maguire is the greatest celebrity poker player in the world

The biggest celebrity winner probably in the world is Tobey Maguire... He's really good. Ben Affleck is an excellent poker player as well, and these guys play in some high-stakes games.

While exact earnings are private, numerous sources in the high-stakes poker world have corroborated that Maguire was the biggest winner in the legendary private games.

Charles Barkley is a good gambler who just gets unlucky

I played blackjack with [Charles Barkley]. We played high stakes blackjack together recently, and he was playing really good. He was unlucky, I've got to say. He was playing perfectly. And I was playing perfectly, and I think I won $30,000, and he went the other way... but I mean, he was just unlucky.

Whether someone is 'lucky' or 'unlucky' in gambling is subjective and impossible to prove, though Barkley's massive losses are well-documented.
