I'm hoping the Lakers sign Carmelo Anthony; he would be a nice piece for them.

I'm hoping that Carmelo Anthony, who is not officially retired, he would be a nice piece [for the Lakers]. Pay him just whatever. ... There are a lot of guys out there who I would like to see get a little run for the Lakers at zero dollars.

The Lakers did eventually sign Anthony in 2021, though the take is an opinion on his fitness for the roster in 2019.

Brooks Koepka's primary focus for 2019 is winning the Open Championship.

He said to us that he's really focusing on the Open Championship this year, the British Open. That's the one he doesn't have. He really, really wants that one. ... He was looking ahead to whatever [course] they're going to be on in a couple of months.

Brooks Koepka did not win the 2019 Open Championship, finishing T4 (Shane Lowry won).

The 2019 U.S. Open course at Pebble Beach was a disappointment

The course fucking sucked. A bit of a disappointment for the guys that root for the course out there. ... Overall, kind of a disappointing showing from the course. I feel like it's got to drop a little bit in the world rankings.

The course played significantly easier than expected, with a record low winning score for Pebble Beach US Opens, supporting PFT's claim that it 'underperformed' as a challenge.

Brooks Koepka was screwed by the fact that the U.S. Open was moving too slow.

Brooks got screwed by the fact that everything was moving too slow. And we know Brooks doesn't like to play slow. He likes to play fast. ... He's an adrenaline guy. So the second you slow him down, it was like putting in a relief pitcher. They kind of took the rhythm out of Brooks Koepka.

This is a subjective interpretation of Koepka's performance based on the pace of the final round.

Shohei Ohtani currently holds both MLB's longest active on-base streak AND longest active scoreless innings streak simultaneously

As of Wednesday, with Shohei Ohtani getting on base and throwing six scoreless innings today, MLB's longest active on-base streak is now up to 43 games. MLB's longest active scoreless innings streak among starting pitchers is now 28.2 innings pitched. Shohei Ohtani has both of them. That's insane.

Big Cat self-corrects noting the scoreless innings streak ended that day, but the 43-game on-base streak was accurate as stated. The core claim about Ohtani's dual dominance was real at the time.

Chet Holmgren has never been anything but a one-seed in his entire basketball career

Do you know that Chet Holmgren in his entire basketball career has never been anything but a one seed while playing? In high school at Minnehaha Academy 2018, one seed; 2019, one seed; 2021, one seed; Gonzaga 2022, he was a one seed; 2023 he missed the NBA season with an injury; and then 2024, 2025, and now this year with the Oklahoma City Thunder, one seed, every single team he's played for has been a one seed.

This checks out — Holmgren's teams have consistently been one seeds throughout his career. The OKC Thunder were indeed a one seed in 2026.

Nikola Jokic holds the fastest triple double in NBA history at 14 minutes and 33 seconds

Jokic holds the record for fastest triple double in NBA history, achieving the feat in just 14 minutes and 33 seconds. The previous record was 17 minutes in 1955.

This stat appears to be AI-generated and potentially inaccurate — the fastest triple double records are hard to verify precisely, and the '1955' comparison seems dubious. Marking as pending since this is a specific verifiable claim that's hard to confirm.
