I would become a Lakers fan if Stephen A. Smith became the GM and Mark Jackson the coach

I also saw Stephen A. Smith said that he could fix the Lakers... if Stephen A. Smith was the GM and Mark Jackson was the head coach that if LeBron wants, I would be Showtime, I would maybe be a LeBron fan.

This scenario never happened; Darvin Ham was hired as coach and Rob Pelinka remained GM.

Minnesota sports fans deserve to celebrate play-in wins like championships because they are a factory of sadness

Minnesota is an absolute factory of sadness... The Timberwolves had Kevin Garnett... they went to one Western conference final with him... the twins have lost 13 straight playoff games... So if you're a Minnesota fan celebrate, like this is a championship because it has been that bad and they deserve a young, fun team like this.

This is a subjective defense of fan behavior based on factual sports misery.

There is a zero percent chance LeBron James watched the WNBA draft

There's no way he watched a WNBA draft. There's a 0.0% chance. If he was watching WNBA draft, he would have tweeted it during the WNBA draft, not 24 hours later being like just a thought I've had on my mind recently.

Impossible to definitively prove LeBron's eyeballs weren't on a screen, but the timing supports Big Cat's skepticism.

The Celtics will beat the Nets in six games

I think the Celtics are going to beat the Nets. I watched that game tonight that Kevin [Durant] and Kyrie [Irving] didn't miss a shot for three quarters and the Cavs... almost won... the Nets just don't have any defense... I think the Celtics are going to beat them in six.

The Celtics swept the Nets 4-0 in the first round. Big Cat was correct about the winner but wrong on the game count.

Miami of Ohio 100% deserves to be in the NCAA Tournament despite their first-round loss

I think a hundred percent they should be in. We need to just focus on the fact that there, I believe 31 and one and not do anything about strength of schedule. If you're able to go an entire season without losing a game that's hard to just wake up every day and not stumble once. I wanna see what happens when they play their first quad win one game in the middle of March.

This is part of the satirical 'Future' bit; Miami of Ohio was not 31-1 in 2026 (or 2024).

Conference tournaments are bad for top teams because they don't improve your seeding and lead to unnecessary fatigue

I'm kind of done with the conference tournaments. Like they just fuck you. It doesn't make your seed better and you end up being more tired today. If you have to play four games, you're just gonna get screwed.

The value of conference tournaments for high-seeded teams is a perennial debate in sports media.

Kyler Murray will be the next Sam Darnold now that he's with the Vikings

Kyler Murray is a Viking. We all kind of expected it. It happened. He's going to be the next Sam Darnold. The NFC North now has three number one picks at quarterback with Kyler Murray, Caleb Williams, Jared Goff. Kind of cool.

Kyler Murray did not sign with the Vikings; this is part of the episode bit.
