I was always brought up to that if I wanted a job, I would never have anyone else call for me. I would always call myself. ... If any other coach would have recommended Sean [McVay], I think he would have had a chance.

Novak Djokovic is the tennis GOAT

I'm a Djokovic guy. I became a Djokovic guy on Sunday morning. ... Djokovic is the GOAT. He's got 16 Grand Slam titles, and he's six years younger than Federer. ... He's going to have the all-time Grand Slams when it's all said and done.

As of late 2024, Djokovic holds the record for most Grand Slam titles (24), surpassing both Federer and Nadal, making Big Cat's prediction correct.

Pete Sampras is the tennis GOAT

I was actually rooting for Djokovic too because the more that you can poke holes in Federer's resume, the more you can say Sampras is the GOAT. ... He is the goat. Sampras is the goat.

While subjective, Sampras's 14 titles have been eclipsed by Djokovic, Nadal, and Federer, making this a minority view today.

The Russell Westbrook-Chris Paul trade was a win-win

OKC significantly overperformed and made the playoffs with CP3. Houston had a solid regular season but flamed out in the playoffs, leading to a total teardown.

The Houston Astros robbed the Yankees of a World Series title

I know that my Yankees got robbed. Then there's probably a lot of other teams that got robbed right? I mean, it's out there... Altuve got MVP when it should have been Judge. Yes extra Stripes. Yeah, I mean there's a lot of things that people have to you know, they've lost focus on.

The sign-stealing scandal was confirmed by MLB, but whether it 'robbed' them of the title is a matter of debate.

Pete Rose belongs in the Hall of Fame

I still go back to the Pete Rose, you know saying I know it was he wrong? Yes, but how is he not? You know saying in in the Hall of Fame, right?

Inherently subjective debate regarding Hall of Fame entry requirements.

Aaron Judge hasn't earned his Yankee Pinstripes yet because he hasn't won a World Series

He hasn't played a game [with Pinstripes]... he should have won a championship... You have to win a World Series [to earn them].

This is a traditionalist opinion on team legacy and individual honors.
