Joel Embiid has successfully shifted his career narrative with this series win

I think Joel Embiid's narrative is shifting. Shifting but not [yet] shifted. ... Shifting-ING is different than -ED. Narrative shifted for sure. ... He's now shown that he's not like just a regular season guy. He's not a choker.

The narrative around Embiid has historically been centered on second-round failures and injuries; beating a -900 favorite Celtics team in Game 7 certainly impacts that.

Game six might be the last time we see Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown play together

Was game six in this series the last time we will see Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown play together?

Pending - whether Tatum and Brown remain teammates depends on offseason moves.

Jalen Brown complaining about flopping after losing game seven is loser talk

I gotta put my hand up on that one. That is sour grapes. That is loser talk. You just lost game seven and then not complain, but kind of bitch on that. That is a little bit of loser talk. If you're a good competitor, you're gonna be a sore loser. If you win the game, it's not a problem. Every shit happens in every NBA game that's ever been played.

Subjective judgment about sportsmanship - can't be definitively resolved.

LeBron James is the GOAT over Michael Jordan because of his longevity

LeBron? More points. Longevity is a big thing in sports. The fact that he's 42 years old, he is still doing it. Michael Jordan couldn't do it at 42. He never had a serious injury... I'm a LeBron sexual. That's my goat, that's my guy.

The GOAT debate is inherently subjective.

The 76ers are unequivocally LeBron James's team now, not Joel Embiid's

He's gonna be the leader in the locker room. That was one thing that I was worried about with Embiid, Jaylen Brown. Like who is gonna be the leader and the guy that everyone rallies around. Now they don't really have an argument to be made. It's LeBron. Everyone's gonna look to LeBron. He's gonna be the one that gets everyone ready to go in the playoff series.

The Wizards will make the playoffs and face the Celtics this season

My take is going to be that the Wizards are gonna make the playoffs. I love it. And they're gonna play the Celtics... I think it's gonna be a two-seven situation.

The Wizards making the playoffs and securing a 7-seed is a significant jump from their current state.
