I choked away the Masters with a four-shot lead

I'd characterize that as a choke. Damn. It was pretty bad. Yeah, I mean, I mean, come on, you got a four shot lead. All you gotta do. I was playing good and just choked it away.

Koepka did lead after 54 holes and failed to win, which fits the standard definition of a sports 'choke'.

The Nuggets will win the series against the Lakers in six games

I still think Nuggets and six, if [Jokic] can dominate like he dominated tonight and I actually don't see a reason why he wouldn't be able to as insane as his game was tonight.

The Nuggets swept the Lakers 4-0 in the Western Conference Finals.

The Lakers will win Game 2 because they found a way to disrupt the Nuggets in the fourth quarter

I think the Lakers might win game two because it did feel also like it in the fourth quarter. It felt like they figured a little something out. Like Anthony Davis was playing off Gordon, was disrupting everything. I just think it is gonna be a long series.

The Nuggets won Game 2 (108-103) and went on to sweep the Lakers 4-0.

San Antonio is the perfect landing spot for Victor Wembanyama because of Gregg Popovich

If you want a young player to not have his career go sideways with bad coaching and a dysfunctional franchise, there's no better place than San Antonio for [Wembanyama] to land.

Wembanyama had a historic rookie season under Popovich, winning Rookie of the Year and validating the 'perfect fit' narrative.

If I win the Open Championship this weekend, I will officially take the Blake of the Year title from Blake Griffin

I'm not dead. I've never wanted to win a golf tournament so bad. [The deal is] if I win the Open Championship this weekend, I officially get [Blake Griffin's] Blake of the Year title this year. Verbatim. That's what it'll be.

This depends on the outcome of the Open Championship following the episode's air date.

Playing golf in shorts is at least a two-stroke advantage per round

It's so much nicer [to wear shorts]... I'd say at least two [strokes]. Really. Yeah.

While logically comfort improves performance, there is no scientific data to quantify that wearing shorts specifically saves exactly two strokes.

The best way to play golf is to simply not think about anything

Three of your 10 lessons, were just don't think... that's honestly Fellas. That's the best way to be. It's like, I just kept on scrolling and I was like, wait, we're not, oh, just a reminder. But don't you think that if you're telling everyone to not think about anything now they're thinking about not thinking about anything, which is perfect. That's right where I want 'em.

A subjective coaching philosophy from a multiple-time major winner.
