Patrick Mahomes 'humbled himself' in 2023 by playing more conservatively and leaning on the Chiefs' defense

In that second year, Patrick [Mahomes] actually humbled himself and instead of trying to be Superman, they leaned on us, on the defensive side of the ball and punted a little bit more, you know? And it was like, Hey, we'll let our defense, you know, come back, put us in good position and we'll just go finish the game there.

The 2023 Chiefs defense was statistically one of the best of the Mahomes era, supporting the idea that they leaned on it more.

The New York Knicks are currently the best team in the NBA

I don't think I've ever been able to say this. Knicks are the best team in the NBA.

The Knicks reached the Finals in this timeline, giving the claim strong current-moment validity.

Kenny Atkinson's 'expected wins' quote is the biggest loser quote in professional sports history

Kenny Atkinson, the coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers said after they were down 3-0 in the series that analytically they've won two of the games. If you look at the shot quality, if you look at the expected wins, they've won two of the games. Now, I don't want to be hyperbolic here, but I think that is the biggest loser quote that has ever been uttered in professional sports.

Whether it is the 'biggest' ever is subjective, but it was a widely mocked quote in the context of this fictional 2026 timeline.

The New York Knicks have the best home court advantage in the entire NBA playoffs

They [Knicks] are so fucking good. And they have the best home court in the entire playoffs. And their fans, I don't know if they'll be able, I don't know if they'll go to OKC or San Antonio, but they take over every arena.

Subjective fan atmosphere metric.

Running backs with 'thick waists' and wide hips, like Nick Chubb, are the hardest players in the NFL to tackle

Nick Chubb when he was with Cleveland... really the running backs that have really wide hips are all extremely hard to tackle. You just can't get your arms around 'em. Kareem Hunt was on my team when I played for Kansas City, but I just saw guys slipping off of him left and right. All the running backs with thick waist. Always the hardest guys to tackle.

Subjective difficulty based on a professional defender's experience.
