Rajon Rondo was the main reason the Lakers won the 2020 NBA title

Rondo really was the reason why they won the title. [Rondo] the LeBron stopper. People forget, Rondo really was the reason why they won the title.

While Rondo was a key contributor, LeBron James won Finals MVP and was the primary reason for the championship.

Drake is a corny person but his songs are awesome

I'm reserving the right to still think that Drake is corny. [But] his songs are awesome. I think he might have some talent in it. His songs go, as the kids say. He's growing as an artist.

Whether Drake is corny is inherently subjective.

The Chicago Bulls are finally building a winning culture by trading for Nikola Vucevic

The Bulls basically took the entire Garpax regime and threw it in the trash can today, which was awesome. Vucevic coming to Chicago... I'm sick of missing the playoffs and getting the seventh pick and getting a guy that we have to wait on and hope is good. If you want to eventually be a team that can win in the playoffs, you have to make the playoffs. You have to have a culture of hey, we're trying to compete.

The Bulls did make the play-in/playoffs in subsequent years, but the Vucevic trade is widely regarded as a failure in hindsight as the team remained stuck in mediocrity.

The Heat made a great trade by acquiring Victor Oladipo from the Rockets

Oladipo to Miami is a great trade. Yeah, the Rockets somehow, the James Harden trade now is going to look even worse because they have nothing from that.

Oladipo only played 4 games for the Heat that season before suffering another season-ending injury, and his tenure in Miami was plagued by health issues, never living up to the 'great trade' billing.

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.
