Pete Crow-Armstrong is a superstar in the making
My Cool throne is Pete Crow-Armstrong because he hit for the cycle. He's my favorite cub. He's a superstar in the making, just so good at everything. And he's been on a tear. He hit his single to hit for the cycle and then got picked off the very, not even the next pitch, just the next throw. It was the perfect Pete Crow-Armstrong moment because he gives just enough red meat for the haters.

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.
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?
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 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.
