Leon Rose was the true mastermind behind bringing LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh together for the Miami Heat's 'Big Three.'

Leon Rose put together the big three in Miami. Now I know Pat Riley played a role and obviously LeBron, Dwyane and Bosh had to get together and do it. But Leon Rose organized that. He was with CAA, he got all of them to agree to contracts that were the same length. He got 'em all on the same page. He set all that up. Like his hand was on the steering wheel of that move.

The New York Knicks playing at Madison Square Garden for the NBA Finals will be an absolute movie.

I am hyped for what the New York Knicks in the NBA finals are gonna look like at MSG. I think it's gonna be absolutely nuts. The crowd is gonna be nuts.

The atmosphere at MSG during a championship run is objectively high-energy, though 'insane' is subjective.

Victor Wembanyama choked at the end of Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

So he choked. That was a big time choke at the end. Like he, you gotta look before you throw that pass. It was a ill-advised pass to make. And then out of frustration, he just, he commits a bad foul. I, I think [Wembanyama] is to blame, obviously for everything that happened at the end of this game.

Wembanyama did literally have a turnover and a foul at the end of the game, though 'choke' is a subjective descriptor.

Mitch Johnson should have called a timeout for the Spurs before Victor Wembanyama's late-game turnover.

I thought Mitch Johnson not calling a time out there was crazy. They have one time out left, there's seven seconds left... Call time out, call up your best play. If Brunson on the floor attack Brunson... you get a shot to potentially win without the risk of losing and regulation, which is what ended up happening.

This is a tactical opinion on coaching strategy.

The San Antonio Spurs would have won Game 2 of the NBA Finals if they could just grab a rebound.

The Spurs couldn't get any freaking rebounds. And I think three different times in the second half of game two, I think three different times the Knicks got an offensive rebound and hit a three. I mean that is just backbreaking... No rebounds, no rings. If the Spurs just get some rebounds, they win that game.

The Miami Heat are a strong contender to trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

I think, I think Miami is a strong contender to trade for him at this moment. I think there are some other teams that are, can and will make compelling offers leading up to the draft. But I think Giannis, that's a place where I think Giannis wants to play.

This is a prediction about trade talks that will resolve during the NBA offseason.

LeBron James might not even play basketball next season.

I still have not heard definitively LeBron's playing next year. Now is he probably gonna play... I would say I think he's gonna play, but like, people have got him in a minimum with the calves and starting opening night, and I'm not even sure he is playing.

Whether LeBron plays will be determined by the start of the 2026-27 NBA season.
