Jalen Brown single-handedly ended the NBA Finals in Game 3

If you look at this series, which wasn't really competitive... [Jalen Brown's] second half in that game [Game 3] basically ended the series. Like he single-handedly ended the series there.

The Celtics won Game 3 to go up 3-0, a deficit no team has ever overcome. Jalen Brown had 30 points, including 15 in the third quarter, which effectively sealed the series.

Jalen Brown is a top 5 player in the NBA

[Jalen Brown] is in that top five now. He's the best player on the team.

While Brown won Finals MVP and All-NBA Second Team honors in 2023, ranking him in the top 5 (above Jokic, Giannis, Luka, SGA, etc.) is highly debatable and subjective.

Brad Stevens is the greatest GM of all time

Brad Stevens is, you know, the greatest GM of all time. I think he's gotta be. He's in all-time in this conversation.

Brad Stevens has one title as a GM. While his moves for Holiday and White were brilliant, 'greatest of all time' is a huge historical reach.

The Celtics are set up for a dynasty

I mean the team is set up for a great, great run, which is the most exciting part. We win a championship now and we're set up, we're set up for the future. Maybe a real [dynasty].

The Celtics have a young core locked in, but the second apron and NBA parity make dynasties extremely difficult. This remains to be seen.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

The Cavaliers-Knicks series is over after Game 1

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.
