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 Vikings officially have a Kyler Murray problem

I think we can officially say they have a Kyler Murray problem. Justin Jefferson has reached his point where he's like, 'What the fuck is going on?' So that would be my point. Maybe there's a Kyler Murray issue.

Whether Minnesota had a significant Kyler Murray problem is an evaluative football judgment rather than a definitively resolvable fact.

The Vikings should trade for Kirk Cousins

What if I told you the Vikings could trade for a quarterback that has 18 touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown? Would that be something you think you'd be interested in if you were a Minnesota Viking fan? Kirk Cousins.

Whether Kirk Cousins was traded to Minnesota during the 2026 season is not established by the transcript or reliably known here.

Jalen Warren is a top-five running back

Jalen Warren is the top five running back this year. And it's like watching him play, that changes what I think about the Steelers.

Top-five running back status is ultimately a subjective ranking that cannot be definitively resolved.
