Jimmy Butler is a top 20 NBA player

Jimmy Butler, I think we're witnessing the emergence of a top-20 player in the NBA. I am fully onboard... I think now Jimmy Butler is a top 20 NBA player.

Butler was named All-NBA Third Team in 2020 and led a 5-seed to the Finals, broadly validating this ranking at the time.

The Nuggets are going to get smoked by the Clippers in the next round

I think that the Nuggets are gonna get smoked next round. Yeah, I don't care how many inches they have on their team. Clippers are minus about my million units. Clippers Game 1.

The Nuggets famously came back from 3-1 to beat the Clippers in 7 games.

James Harden will never get in shape

Will James Harden ever get in shape? No. I mean he's late to the bubble. I want to saying because he was out of shape... he does that like he'll do it in a game. He'll drive really hard to the hoop. And then the next like three plays [be like] I'm not running up and down.

This is a subjective long-term opinion on a player's conditioning and playstyle.

Chris Paul's annoying personality makes people forget that he is an elite basketball player and could be a top US soccer player

Chris Paul's personality makes you forget how good at basketball he is because he's the worst anytime... but he's awesome. I still think he would be Top three or top four US men's soccer player. Yes, easily.

The USMNT portion is a hypothetical hot take; his NBA skill is verified but subjective.

Ben Johnson ran the illegal play wrong on purpose

I think Ben Johnson ran it wrong on purpose to put something on tape that then he can run a variation off of it.

This is an interpretation of coaching intent that cannot be definitively verified from the game broadcast.

The Bears are good

I think the Bears are good.

Whether the 2026 Bears are 'good' is ultimately a season-level subjective assessment.

The NFL is testing its way toward Tuesday and Wednesday games

Florio basically was like the NFL is testing out putting teams three times in a row on primetime because we're going to get to a point where they start playing Tuesday and Wednesday games. And I believe it.

This can be evaluated if the NFL introduces regular Tuesday or Wednesday games as described.
