Nikola Jokic is the greatest value pick in NBA history

Jokic I think now goes down is the best value pick in NBA history without a doubt... he's a better value than all these [Steve Nash, Giannis] because he went 41st overall in the draft.

While value is subjective, Jokic is widely cited as the greatest draft steal in NBA history given he is the lowest-drafted player to win Finals MVP.

Michael Jordan was a better value pick at number three than Jokic was at 41

I still think Michael Jordan not being picked first overall and what he did becoming the best player of all time. That's a better value pick at three.

The era of the NBA super team is officially dead

it's the official death of super teams as well. We declare that because... homegrown super teams don't play anymore. We had a decade of super teams. It's over.

The NBA has seen a period of parity following the 2023 season, though 'super teams' like the Suns still attempt to form.

If I win the Open Championship this weekend, I should be the official Blake of the Year

I have proposed the idea that if Brooks Koepka wins the open championship this weekend, he officially gets your [Blake Griffin's] Blake of the Year title this year. [Brooks]: I'm not dead. Absolutely. I'm playing for all the Blakes. I would like, at some point in the interviews, I would like acknowledgement. I literally will just say Blake Griffin and then walk right out.

Koepka missed the cut at the 2025 Open at Royal Portrush. Scottie Scheffler won the tournament.

The best way to play golf is to simply not think about anything

Three of your 10 lessons, were just don't think... that's honestly Fellas. That's the best way to be. It's like, I just kept on scrolling and I was like, wait, we're not, oh, just a reminder. But don't you think that if you're telling everyone to not think about anything now they're thinking about not thinking about anything, which is perfect. That's right where I want 'em.

A subjective coaching philosophy from a multiple-time major winner.
