Jalen Brunson is the current number one player in the NBA

I rank Jalen Brunson one. That's the whole point of winning a championship, is you get to spend an entire off season and saying your guy's number one. The whole point of winning a title is that then the next four months you get to just say, my guy, my best guy is the best guy in the whole league.

The ranking of current NBA players is subjective, though most analysts would still place Nikola Jokic or Giannis Antetokounmpo above Brunson.

I would not trade Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown for Giannis Antetokounmpo

[Big Cat: Do you want Giannis, answer the question, yes or no?] No. We won a championship with Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. Why would we give that up?

Inherently subjective team-building opinion.

The Knicks would not have won the NBA title without Tom Thibodeau

Listen, I know there's people who've been like, oh yeah, Tibs, like Biggest Loser. They don't win this without Tibs. I really believe that. Tibs inherited a godawful Knicks team and franchise and made them winners pretty quickly and made them competent. And then Mike Brown obviously took him over the top, but the guy before the guy I think still has some importance.

The impact of a previous coach's culture is inherently subjective.

The Portland Trail Blazers will be the biggest losers of the Hurricanes winning the Stanley Cup due to Tom Dundon's ownership style

I think the biggest loser in the Stanley Cup final is the Portland Trail Blazers. I think they're the biggest loser. I was thinking about it because Tom Dundon owns the hurricanes, has won a cup doing it his way somewhat cheaply... So I think the Trailblazers are gonna have to learn. They're gonna have to have this time where like imagine if David Tepper won a World Series while owning the Panthers his way... Tom Dundon's gonna be like, see guys, I did it. I'm gonna do it with the Blazers too.

Pending the future management and success of the Portland Trail Blazers under Tom Dundon's ownership.

Baker Mayfield should have a new contract and is being disrespected by the Buccaneers

Baker Mayfield took the podium today and he said it's very disappointing to not have a new contract. He's feeling disrespected and undervalued. Now I agree with Baker Mayfield. He should have a new contract.

This is a subjective opinion on player value and contract negotiations.

I bet $500 to win half a million dollars on Brad Dalke winning the Rocket Mortgage Classic

I placed a bet for $500 to win half a million on Brad Dalke. Correct. Why not? He's gotta win. I saw him win the Internet Invitational last year.

Pending the outcome of the tournament.

LIV Golf is effectively dead and currently on life support

LIV is not dead? It is on life support... I still think it's dead. I'm not apologizing for saying it's dead... I think it's far more dead than alive.

The health of the league is a matter of interpretation, but it remains operational as of the episode date.
