Shohei Ohtani is the next Babe Ruth and exactly what baseball needs

Shohei Ohtani... he's doing it all. So he's in the Home Run Derby... then he's going to pitch in the All-Star game. And he's going DH in the All-Star game. And this guy, like this is what baseball needs. ... I'm pumped for Shohei Ohtani to be the next Babe Ruth.

Ohtani went on to win the 2021 AL MVP and has continued to put up unprecedented numbers, solidifying the Babe Ruth comparisons.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was not as injured as the public was told

Giannis was not as injured as we were told that he was because just from the start, he went out there and he was the most athletic player on the court.

While Giannis returned quickly and played well, medical reports confirmed a significant hyperextension that would have sidelined most players; he simply recovered freakishly fast.

Giannis Antetokounmpo belongs in the Adrian Peterson club of non-human physical recovery

I actually am totally fine with Giannis [Antetokounmpo] being put into the Adrian Peterson club of the people that just don't have knee ligaments or regular bodies that are anything like the human body because he was so injured and then he wasn't. And I don't know what happened in between, but it's just Giannis because he's a freak.

Giannis returned from a severe-looking knee injury in just one week to win NBA Finals MVP, proving he possesses rare physical durability.

I'll say [Suns] and four, [Suns] and three from right now. It was if Chris Paul plays like that, there's nothing you can do.

The Bucks won the next four games after Game 2 to win the series 4-2.

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.

Subjective analysis of fan sentiment regarding a player's style.
