LeBron James has no killer instinct because he is a father of three

LeBron's a father of three, so this might have something to do with it, but he just has no killer instinct. He's too close to life. If you're the best player in the world, quotation marks, and you have the ball the way he had the ball at the end of the game, you take it to the hole and you try and get fouled. Or you at least ask for the ball.

LeBron James has since won another title (2020) and became the all-time leading scorer; the 'no killer instinct' narrative has largely been debunked by his career longevity and volume of clutch performances.

The torch has officially been passed from LeBron James to Kevin Durant

I am under the theory now that the torch has not only been passed, but it's comfortably sitting in Kevin Durant's mom's house. She has it on the mantle.

Subjective sports debate, though Durant won Finals MVP in 2017.

Sidney Crosby is the biggest thug in hockey

Is Sidney Crosby the biggest thug in hockey? He did two things tonight... He dribbled P.K. Subban's face off the ice like it was Deron Williams just dribbling out of bounds... And he threw a water bottle onto the ice during play. Wow. Dangerous.

Sidney Crosby is widely considered one of the greatest and most skilled players ever, not a 'thug', though he has had moments of grit and frustration.

MLB drug tests me more often because I'm a short guy hitting home runs

They like to come and test me all the time when I hit home runs because they don't really believe a short little guy can hit homers. So I'm kind of surprised they haven't came yet, but I'm sure they will soon.

While MLB says tests are random, many players have reported receiving tests immediately after high-profile games. Gennett was indeed tested shortly after this interview.

Aaron Rai is a boring PGA Championship winner

Aaron Rai, nice guy, great story. Okay. Boring as hell, boring winner... Nothing happened Sunday... Great crowd, great venue, great fans, great leaderboard going into Sunday. Disappointing finish.

Entertainment value is subjective.
