Jon Lester has 'the yips' and it is a sensitive subject

I don't really want to talk to him about [his bounce pass to first]. When you have that, when you don't want to throw the ball, I mean, it's in your mind. You don't want anybody to talk to you about it. Riz [Anthony Rizzo] talks to him all the time about it... I couldn't do it. It's a sensitive subject.

Lester's struggles with pickoffs and fielding were a documented part of his career, famously managed by the Cubs during their championship window.

2-0 is the most dangerous lead in hockey

2-0 is the most dangerous lead in hockey, and the Blue Jackets have a 2-0 lead. They stink. I'm okay with that.

The Capitals actually came back to win this series 4-2, making the 2-0 lead truly 'dangerous' for Columbus in this specific instance.

The Cavaliers are absolutely done after their Game 1 loss

The Cavaliers are done. Done. Absolutely done. They looked like shit today. LeBron James, I think he's over the hill.

The Cavs won the series in 7 games and made the NBA Finals, so LeBron was far from done.

LeBron James lost Game 1 on purpose to pad his all-time stats

LeBron actually lost this game on purpose so he can pad his all-time playoff stats.

This is a satirical theory about intent that cannot be proven, but the Cavs did win the series, meaning they played more games (padding stats).

Ben Simmons should be eligible for Rookie of the Year because he didn't play a game his first year

He didn't play one game [his first year]? Then he's a rookie. I mean, you didn't do anything on the court to gain any experience or stuff. I think he's a rookie.

Ben Simmons did win the 2017-18 NBA Rookie of the Year award, so the league's rules aligned with Bryant's view.

I would love to have Bryce Harper on the Cubs

I would love to have Bryce on our team. Who wouldn't? He's great.

Subjective statement of desire.
