I would not trade Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown for Giannis Antetokounmpo

[Big Cat: Do you want Giannis, answer the question, yes or no?] No. We won a championship with Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. Why would we give that up?

Inherently subjective team-building opinion.

Jalen Brunson is the current number one player in the NBA

I rank Jalen Brunson one. That's the whole point of winning a championship, is you get to spend an entire off season and saying your guy's number one. The whole point of winning a title is that then the next four months you get to just say, my guy, my best guy is the best guy in the whole league.

The ranking of current NBA players is subjective, though most analysts would still place Nikola Jokic or Giannis Antetokounmpo above Brunson.

The Knicks would not have won the NBA title without Tom Thibodeau

Listen, I know there's people who've been like, oh yeah, Tibs, like Biggest Loser. They don't win this without Tibs. I really believe that. Tibs inherited a godawful Knicks team and franchise and made them winners pretty quickly and made them competent. And then Mike Brown obviously took him over the top, but the guy before the guy I think still has some importance.

The impact of a previous coach's culture is inherently subjective.

The Portland Trail Blazers will be the biggest losers of the Hurricanes winning the Stanley Cup due to Tom Dundon's ownership style

I think the biggest loser in the Stanley Cup final is the Portland Trail Blazers. I think they're the biggest loser. I was thinking about it because Tom Dundon owns the hurricanes, has won a cup doing it his way somewhat cheaply... So I think the Trailblazers are gonna have to learn. They're gonna have to have this time where like imagine if David Tepper won a World Series while owning the Panthers his way... Tom Dundon's gonna be like, see guys, I did it. I'm gonna do it with the Blazers too.

Pending the future management and success of the Portland Trail Blazers under Tom Dundon's ownership.

Christopher Nolan's new film 'Odyssey' is a top-five movie in his entire catalog.

Odyssey is good... I saw it last Sunday night after we recorded, didn't fall asleep during it. Top five Nolan movie... And the more, you know, the farther away I got from it, the more I've been thinking about it. And I will definitely watch it again.

Movie rankings are subjective.

LIV Golf is effectively dead and the league will likely cancel its season before next year

I think Liv might be done. I mean, I think they were trying hard to find some new sponsors that looks like it's going a little harder than they expected. ... I think they canceled this event and it's looking like the league cancellation will probably happen at some point before next season.

LIV Golf continues to operate; this was a satirical bit.

Brad Stevens traded Jaylen Brown to the Sixers as a '4D chess' move to implode the team

I think that this could be the greatest thing that Brad Stevens has ever done. I think he's playing 4D chess. He knew what he was doing with the Jaylen Brown trade. And now with LeBron, like all the pressure's now on LeBron. Jaylen Brown didn't want to be a number two option with Boston. And now the Sixers, it's like he might be number four.

Requires seeing if the Sixers implode or win a championship.
