Celtics fans have no right to complain about trading draft picks for Kyrie Irving

I don't understand Celtics fans that have been bitching and moaning about Danny Ainge not trading picks... and then when he does trade it, being like, well, we should have held on to that pick. Because you just got a guy who is [a] top five scorer in the NBA, a guy who can score in the finals of the NBA finals.

While Kyrie was an All-Star in Boston, the tenure ended poorly with no finals appearances, and the pick traded (which became Collin Sexton) was valuable, though not franchise-altering.

The Kyrie Irving trade is a huge win for the Celtics because they now have a core of Gordon Hayward, Al Horford, and Kyrie Irving

I think this is a great trade. People said that Danny Ainge couldn't get free agents to Boston. Now they have Horford, Kyrie, and Gordon Hayward.

Subjective opinion on a roster construction. The trio never reached a Finals together.

LeBron James will still leave the Cavaliers after the 2017-18 season

It does make a lot of drama, and I still do think LeBron is leaving. Although now it's sourced material from our friend Ryan Russell says LeBron doesn't know what to do because he hasn't decided if he hates Isaiah Thomas yet or not.

LeBron James did indeed leave the Cleveland Cavaliers to join the Los Angeles Lakers in the summer of 2018.

Jon Jones is addicted to steroids

I think Jon Jones, it's an understatement to say it, but I think he just really likes drugs. He's addicted to steroids. He's got an addictive [personality]... He's the only person on earth that's addicted to PEDs.

While Jones has had multiple positive tests for banned substances, there is no medical confirmation of a clinical 'steroid addiction'.

Pigeons are the smartest birds because they live off human trash

Pigeons might be the smartest bird. There is one... they've essentially just over the years been like, Hey, you know where we should live? Right where the people leave their trash. We don't have to hunt for anything. We don't have to go fucking diving for worms and fish... Some guy's going to eat a calzone and not finish it and we're gonna finish it. So pigeons might be the smartest bird.

While funny, avian intelligence is usually measured by tool use (crows) or problem-solving, though urban adaptation is a form of intelligence.

Barry Bonds could still play in the MLB and take a million walks because of fear

I think of that with Barry Bonds for sure. Barry Bonds I like He could just, he, he could show up and just be awesome and, and take like a million walks. 'cause people would fear him.

This is a hypothetical claim about a retired player's current ability, which is fundamentally subjective.

American air conditioning is the equivalent of 'Hunter Biden crack' for European visitors

I would imagine air conditioning for Europeans hits like crack. Like the best crack of all. Oh, hunter Biden crack. Yeah. That's like when we go over to, to Spain and we see a nude beach. Like that's, that, that feeling that we get over there is their feeling when they're walking into one of our buildings over here.

Inherently subjective and hyperbolic comparison.
