You should retire numbers for, for winners. Not like nice guys that you're... I'm just saying it's soft.

The Knicks have not retired Carmelo Anthony's #7 as of mid-2024, though it remains a topic of debate.

The Celtics will become the first team in NBA history to come back from down 3-0

They [the Celtics] just need to win two and if they win two, they're winning four. And everyone in this room knows this... It was exactly reminiscent of the Yankees and Red Sox game three. They lost like 19 to eight. Got absolutely blown out... They came back, they won. They shocked the world First team to ever do it. Why not us?

The Celtics won three straight games to force Game 7, but they lost Game 7 at home to the Heat, failing to complete the comeback.

The Denver Nuggets are an absolute wagon and I was wrong for not thinking they were this great

The nuggets are just, they're a wagon right now. ... I would like to admit that I was wrong. Nugs and six is what I kept saying I was wrong about not being right enough about the nuggets. ... I didn't realize just how great they were.

The Nuggets went on to win the NBA Finals, proving they were indeed a 'wagon'.

LeBron James is not actually retiring; he is just using the rumor to distract from being swept

Well, he's not gonna retire. That was classic LeBron to basically be like, oh, I got swept. Let me talk about retiring real quick so that the story then becomes LeBron might walk away instead of LeBron got swept.

LeBron James returned for the 2023-2024 NBA season and did not retire.

Roman Anthony is a defensive liability for the Red Sox because everyone is successfully running on him in left field.

Roman Anthony, world baseball classic hero. But he has been, he's become a meme basically. If he can't, he just can't throw anyone out from left field. Everyone's just running on Roman. Shane tried to tell me he was great last year, but he was playing right field. Now he's playing left field... it's just not good.

Whether a player is a 'liability' is subjective, though defensive stats can provide some evidence over time.

[AJ Brown is] gone no matter what... New England. [In my] unbiased mind, he's still gone.

UConn can't win the championship

I hope UConn can get it done. I don't think they can win it all.

UConn was in the 2026 Final Four. Resolution depends on whether UConn won the championship.
