I can mentally picture Trae Young winning an NBA championship

I'm going to overreact and say that for the first time, I was able to picture, mentally, Trae Young winning a national championship — NBA championship, yeah. I can mentally see the confetti falling down on his weird hair.

While Trae Young has not yet won an NBA championship, this take reflected the peak of his career trajectory during the 2021 Eastern Conference Finals run.

Chris Paul was selfish for rushing back too fast from COVID protocols

I think Chris Paul was selfish tonight, Big Cat, in that he rushed himself back too fast. He did. And he needed to wait. Chris Paul needed to wait a little bit longer, come back. He was not the Chris Paul that we know.

Chris Paul struggled in his first game back (Game 3), shooting 5-of-19, but the Suns eventually won the series and Chris Paul played better in subsequent games.

With Cam Payne and Kawhi Leonard both out, there are 'no excuses' left in the Suns vs. Clippers series

Cam Payne did get hurt. He only played four minutes. That changes the whole series. You can confidently say there's no excuses left on the table. The Clippers are without their best guy, Kawhi. The Suns are without their best guy, Cam Payne.

Cam Payne and Kawhi Leonard are not comparable in value to their respective teams; this is a comedic over-exaggeration.

The 2018 NBA Draft should be redrafted to consider Trae Young over Luka Doncic

The best thing I said about [Trae Young] was that we now have to redraft the 2018 NBA draft. Because that's the biggest – Luka, how could you pick Trae Young ahead of – or how could you – the trade that went down where the Hawks basically traded back and they're like, you take Luka, we'll take Trae Young. So I think that that's actually... yeah, it's a discussion.

While Trae Young had a great 2021, Doncic has since established himself as a perennial First-Team All-NBA player, whereas Trae has fluctuated, keeping Luka as the consensus #1 in redrafts.

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.
