David Stern saved the NBA by nixing the Chris Paul to the Lakers trade because Paul is a loser

Go back to when the Chris Paul to the Lakers trade didn't happen because David Stern nixed it. I think David Stern accurately knew like, 'Hey, the league's better when the Lakers were winning championships, I'm not going to let this trade go through just because I know that [the Lakers] will never win a ring when Chris Paul's on the team.' I think it wasn't a matter of making a super team that made him step in... I think he actually saved the NBA.

Subjective historical analysis of intent, though Paul indeed has never won a ring.

The Suns are officially dead after one of the most embarrassing Game 7 performances ever

Suns are cooked, absolutely cooked. We're calling it. This game. Suns are cooked, absolutely cooked... This is an embarrassing performance game seven at home... The Suns are playing like they have Chris Paul and four James Hardens in a game seven. That's how they're playing.

The Suns lost by 33 points, confirming the 'cooked' status.

Chris Paul is a fraud and the best NBA player of all time that has sucked

I'm going to call it right now. I'm going to use a hard D-bomb. What's that? Hank? A fraud. ... Chris Paul is literally the best NBA player of all time that has sucked. ... Don't get too committed to one player who's 37 years old and chokes in the playoffs.

Subjective label of 'fraud', though Paul's playoff failures are statistically significant.

The Celtics will beat the Heat in five or six games

I do think the Celtics are a better team. Like I think this should be a five or six game series. And I just, you know, Heat culture all that shit, but that was, you know, even the bubble, like the Celtics team is a much different team than they were in the bubble. They're way better.

The Celtics did beat the Heat to advance to the Finals, but it took the full seven games, not five or six.

The ACC tournament belongs in Greensboro and it's not the same anywhere else

I grew up loving the ACC tournament. I don't love it anymore because it's not in Greensboro. The ACC is a North Carolina League. It's a tobacco league. Put it back in Greensboro.

This is a subjective preference about the historical home of a conference tournament.

The Ravens failed Max Crosby's physical intentionally to pivot to Trey Hendrickson

It's almost like they had it ready to go. They pivot to Trey Hendrickson. It feels like they had, by the letter of the law, they had the ability to fail [Crosby] for the physical because he's not ready to play. Technically the Ravens didn't break any rules, they just used it to get someone better that just came available.

This is a satirical bit; Crosby and Hendrickson did not have these transactions in real life.

The NFL will launch a spring game within a matter of years

We're a matter of years away, not decades, from the NFL doing a spring game. I think I might be into that. One spring game, just like college football. It would be kind of sick.

This is a long-term prediction about NFL business strategy.
