The Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio didn't exist before the movie 'City of God' and was just a prop

I don't even think [the Christ the Redeemer statue] existed before that movie City of God. I think they just put it in there as a prop. It's like the Rocky statue.

Fact ClaimPop CultureHotSarcastic
The statue was completed in 1931, decades before the movie was made.

The NBA play-in tournament is stupid

I've decided I'm not going to be Mr. No Fun. I'll just let the playing game happen. I'm not going to tweet that this is stupid. I'm just going to sit here and be right in my silence because... This was stupid.

The NBA play-in tournament has remained a permanent and generally popular fixture of the NBA season, though opinions vary.

The Wizards are a regular season team not built for the play-ins

The Wizards are not built for the play-ins, the regular season team. But we do get another game of play-in basketball in Washington.

The Wizards did win their second play-in game against the Pacers to make the 8-seed, though they were eliminated in the first round 4-1 by the 76ers.

You cannot win in the NBA when Robin Lopez is your go-to guy

I also think anytime Robin Lopez is like your go-to guy... You're probably not going to win that game. Doing some post moves on everyone's ass.

While Lopez had a productive veteran career, teams relying on him for 30+ minutes or as a primary option generally didn't reach championship levels.

High Point is a very, very good basketball team

I actually think that High Point is a very, very good team. It was no fluke. They're a very good team.

In the context of the transcript, High Point has just upset a major power (Wisconsin), validating their quality.

Never bet an under in a Hawaii game

If Jake's listening, do not bet on any under in a Hawaii game.

This is a subjective gambling strategy.

The St. John's vs. Northern Iowa first-round matchup will be ugly as shit

You and I, they will suck the life of out of you. They've got the second best defense in the entire tournament. They, they are just kind of a pain in the ass to watch snails pace. This game feels like it's gonna be ugly as shit.

Pending the outcome of the game and whether it is high or low scoring.
