I can beat a 54-year-old Michael Jordan one-on-one

I mean, I always think of somebody who's a lot older than me. In the 50s, I have a pretty good shot of winning. ... No, I was just saying that because he's pretty older now. I think I have a pretty good shot at it.

Hot TakeBasketballHot
The match never happened, but it's a legendary hypothetical that defined Monk's draft entry.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will appear in a blockbuster movie as himself within the year

The only thing Silver hasn't done yet, I don't think, I can't recall him appearing in a movie as himself, like a big blockbuster movie, but I guarantee within the next year he's going to do it.

PredictionMediaMedium
Adam Silver did not appear in a blockbuster movie as himself in the 2017-2018 window. He finally had a cameo in the movie 'Hustle', but that wasn't until 2022.

Chick-fil-A would sell 16% more chicken if they opened on Sundays

I've actually got a foolproof idea for how you guys can sell at least 16% more chicken. ... Open your [restaurants] on Sundays. That's the only day of the week that I want to eat Chick-fil-A is when I'm hungover on Sunday and it's always closed.

OpinionFoodMildSubjective
While mathematically adding a 7th day would increase sales (roughly 14.3%), Chick-fil-A's per-unit productivity on its 6 open days often outpaces competitors, making the 'loss' of a 7th day complex to calculate. However, they remain closed on Sundays.

I have better shooting range than Steph Curry

My confidence is in the all-time high, so I'm always going to think I have a better range, even though I don't. ... [I've] got better [range]. Period.

Hot TakeBasketballScorching
Steph Curry is the greatest shooter in NBA history; Malik Monk, while a good shooter, has not surpassed Curry's range or efficiency.
