The NBA MVP is a regular season award that shouldn't be judged by playoff success

The MVP is a regular season award. How many times do you think in the last 20 years the MVP in the NBA has won the title? It's happened four times... My long point here is I'm not taking away from the Nuggets or Jokic... you can win an MVP, which he probably will is back-to-back MVP, and that doesn't mean that you have the best team, because that's just not what the award is.

Jokic did win the 2021-22 NBA MVP, confirming Big Cat's prediction within the take, and the take itself is a philosophical stance on award voting.

The Warriors are back

The warriors are back. I'd say that's the lead story. The warriors are back. Maybe not for long because I just placed a future on them, but the warriors are back.

The Warriors went on to win the NBA Championship in 2022, confirming they were indeed back.

The Nuggets will be title contenders next season once Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. are healthy

The team when they're healthy, I think is still a legitimate title contender. So they're obviously missing Jamal Murray. They're missing Porter... I think next seasons nuggets, the day that the NBA finals are over, I'm going to put a big future on next year's nuggets.

The Nuggets remained healthy in the 2022-23 season and won the NBA Finals, making this prediction highly accurate.

There is no answer for Joel Embiid when he wants to dominate

If [Embiid] is if there's there's less of an answer for Joel Embiid when he wants to dominate than anyone else at this current moment in the NBA.

Embiid's dominance is well-documented, though whether he has 'less of an answer' than Giannis or Jokic is subjective.

The goal allowed by the US goalie was the most embarrassing possible

What about the goalie? Yeah, I mean he... that was the most embarrassing goal that I've ever seen. Possible.

While subjective, the blunder by the US goalkeeper (Freeze/Turner) was widely mocked as a 'MAC football' level mistake.

The USMNT is the 'James Franklin Penn State' of soccer

People were making very mean jokes online that we were James Franklin, Penn State. And it is actually perfectly appropriate because if you look at who we played, we beat the teams we're supposed to beat... and then we absolutely got ass fucked by the team that was better than us in Belgium. We are not who we thought we were.

Subjective comparison.

We just suck at soccer as a country and that's okay

My take is we suck at soccer and that's okay. Like, I don't care that we suck at soccer anymore. I'm going to root for the US team. I'm gonna get excited when we're in a World Cup. I'm gonna get hyped up and it's gonna be fun to watch. And then I'm gonna be reminded that we suck at soccer and that it's just gonna be like, okay, yeah, that's okay.

Subjective perspective on American soccer.
