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.

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.

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.

Betting the over on Alabama basketball is a cheat code

Alabama by the way is a cheat code if you want to get in on it. It's just betting their overs. They just never stopped missing. This has been like, oh, two weeks now they're over under for the first half was 45 and a half points last night. They scored 69 in the first half.

The 'cheat code' status of a team's over is based on a specific run of games; eventually, Vegas adjusts the lines.

The bounty itself is a factual offer made by the hosts.

Tua Tagovailoa's market value is non-existent relative to his contract

Everything's on the table for the Dolphins. Tua could be a fullback. What would you... What do you think the Dolphins would say yes to for a trade for Tua? Like a sixth round pick for Tua? A jugs machine? I don't know what the hell would Tua's market be?

The Dolphins' internal view on 'everything being on the table' is a subjective claim about team strategy.
