Michael Jordan's claim that I was the source for 'The Jordan Rules' is a lie

For MJ to say I [was] the source of this book, that's a lie. That's a downright lie and he knows that... Sam Smith spent more time with Bill Cartwright, John Paxson, Tex Winter, Johnny Bach.

While Sam Smith has never officially revealed his sources, Horace Grant's denial is consistent and supported by other journalists' observations of the team dynamic.

Michael Jordan released 'The Last Dance' 50% to bash Isiah Thomas and 50% to prove he is better than LeBron James

If you had to break it down Michael Jordan doing this documentary [is] 50% to remind everyone in the world that Michael Jordan's the goat and like he's still better than LeBron and 50% just to shit down Isiah Thomas' throat.

The documentary significantly boosted MJ's standing in the GOAT debate and spent considerable time on the Isiah Thomas feud, supporting the take.

Andy Dalton is one of the best backup quarterbacks in the NFL

I think [Andy Dalton] is probably one of the best backups in the league right now. You have a hard time convincing me [otherwise].

Dalton proved to be a capable backup, starting nine games for the Cowboys in 2020 after Dak Prescott's injury and keeping them in playoff contention.

Blake Bortles is being blackballed by the NFL because he drives a Tesla

I think that Blake Bortles is being blackballed by the NFL because he drives a Tesla and because the league sponsors are motor oil companies [like] Castrol, Havoline, other competing rivals against Elon Musk and Tesla.

Bortles' lack of a roster spot was due to performance, not his choice of electric vehicle or oil company conspiracies.

Scottie Pippen definitely had a migraine in the 1990 Game 7 and shouldn't be questioned

Listen, when you have migraines... you can blow worry. You can't see the Noah's is crazy. There is no waste guy that could be a function that there will be migraine. And he did have a migraine men. And for, for us, it's, I mean, for the people who sipping guests that, I mean, I don't know if you can say, you know, the, you know, it, you can kiss my ass. You know, that's, that's crazy, man.

While the medical reality of Pippen's migraine is a fact, the interpretation of its impact on his ability to play is subjective to his teammates.

Shaquille O'Neal and Penny Hardaway would have won at least two or three championships if they stayed together in Orlando

I would say at least two or three championships. People have forgotten about Penny Hardaway—6'7, 6'8 like a Magic Johnson who can shoot the ball, very athletic. His IQ was off the chart when it came to basketball.

Penny Hardaway's career was derailed by injuries shortly after Shaq left, making it questionable if they could have won multiple titles even if Shaq stayed.

If I had picked up the phone when Shaquille O'Neal called me during 1996 free agency, I could have convinced him to stay with the Magic

[Shaquille O'Neal] called me I think two or three times. If I just had to pick up the phone, maybe things would have been different and I did not pick up the phone. When I heard that he signed with the Lakers, I drove from Florida to my mother's house in Georgia and I stayed there for about two weeks just depressed as shit.

A hypothetical scenario involving Shaq's decision-making process.
