Dillon Brooks has talked himself out of the NBA

I really do think he might've played himself. Like he talked himself out of the NBA. Well and also the lack of play. ... He talked himself out of the NBA.

Incorrect. Dillon Brooks signed a 4-year, $80 million contract with the Houston Rockets later that summer.

LeBron James might be better as a Robin than a Batman for the Lakers

I think what we're seeing is LeBron might be better as a Robin than he is as a Batman. They've got a true number one option finally on the Lakers in AD who looks healthier than we had predicted.

The Lakers did lean heavily on Davis during their 2023 WCF run, but the dynamic remains a shared leadership. LeBron's role as a playmaker makes the Batman/Robin dynamic subjective.

AI-powered robots will kill us all in less than a year

If you guys watch the episode metalhead [from Black Mirror], that's actually happening in real life... They gave Boston Dynamics robots brains and now they can do whatever they want. Think for themselves. ... I still think we got less than a year left. We're cooked.

The human race was not killed by AI-powered robots within the year following May 2023.

Connor Hellebuyck is the best goalie in the world

Connor Hellebuyck just saying, 'Hey boys, hop on my back. I got this for you. Just jump on in and ride me to this fucking gold medal.' It's incredible. We had the best goalie in the world and our defense is way better than Canada... I don't care if he gave up 50 goals before that game, the way he played that game, he should have won MVP.

Hellebuyck's status as the best is subjective, but his 41-save performance in the Gold Medal game is a factual anchor for the claim.

This gold medal win will have the same impact on US hockey growth as the 1980 Miracle on Ice

The 1980 Olympic gold medal meant so much for guys like me as an American hockey player to be able to live out your dream. This game right now, what it meant to the world... there's going to be a lot of parents who bring their kid down to the local rink and sign them up because I watched that game. I truly believe it is more than a game for what it can mean for a sport.

Impact on sport growth is long-term and difficult to quantify vs 1980, but the conviction is high.

Connor McDavid will win a Stanley Cup, but it will not be in Edmonton

Can [Connor McDavid] win the big one? Yes. Not in Edmonton. Oh, okay. I like that. That's a good take.

McDavid is still on the Oilers and has not yet won a Cup. If he wins with Edmonton, this is incorrect.
