The NBA is now Kevin Durant's league and the torch has been passed from LeBron James

Are you ready for my hot, hot, hot take from Game 1 of the NBA Finals? Hit me. The torch has been passed. It is Kevin Durant's league. Whose man's is the NBA? I said that, yeah. It's Kevin Durant's man's. Passed that off. He said, here you go, KD. It is your league now. Your league.

KD won Finals MVP and the title in 2017, reinforcing the idea that he had reached the summit, though LeBron remained a top player for years.

Matthew Dellavedova is the missing piece the Cavaliers need to stop the Warriors

I mean, clearly, Della Vadova's [Matthew Dellavedova] the missing piece. They need a defensive stopper on the team that can check somebody, and they don't have it.

The Cavs lost the series 4-1; Delly wouldn't have fixed the talent gap with KD added to a 73-win team.

The Cavaliers will win the 2017 NBA Finals in five games

I still think Cavs... Well, you know what? Cavs in five now. How about that? This is one of those things I'm not even trying to go over the top here. I don't know how you can defend the Warriors.

The Warriors won the series 4-1. Big Cat's prediction was hilariously backwards.

The Kardashian curse is responsible for Tristan Thompson's poor performance

By the way, speaking of rebounding, Tristan Thompson, four rebounds tonight. Did you also hear that Khloe Kardashian's going around saying she's pregnant with his baby? So the Kardashian curse remains undefeated.

Thompson did have a historically poor Finals for a rebounder, though the 'curse' is subjective superstition.

The Cavaliers-Knicks series is over after Game 1

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.

Victor Wembanyama is the best watch in the NBA right now

[Wembanyama] is the best watch in the NBA right now. It's not even close... just his entire performance leaving it like, he was so gassed that three that looked like we were talking about it, it looked like it was almost like there was a whistle beforehand because it was like in slow motion. It was just incredible.

This is a subjective opinion about entertainment value.
