Skip Bayless is the real winner of the 2019 NBA Finals no matter the outcome

Skip Bayless is the real winner of these NBA finals, no matter what happens... Because if the Warriors win, it's an indictment on Kawhi. And Skip gets to say, number two, I told you he was number two. And if the Raptors win, it's a big win for Skip Bayless because then he can retroactively use that and say it means less that LeBron James beat that Warriors team without KD back in 2016 because Kawhi also did it.

This is a subjective analysis of media punditry that cannot be factually proven right or wrong, but accurately reflects Skip Bayless's rhetorical style.

Giannis Antetokounmpo shrunk in every fourth-quarter situation against the Raptors

I feel bad for Bucks fans because they really did after up 2-0. They're like, this is going to be it. This is awesome. And Giannis [Antetokounmpo] just shrunk in every fourth quarter situation.

The Bucks lost four straight games after leading 2-0, and Giannis's late-game offensive limitations were a major talking point of the series.

I want Steph Curry to not win the Finals MVP just to keep that narrative alive

In order of things I want to happen, I want Steph [Curry] to not win the MVP no matter what just so that we can keep that narrative going. It's got to go to somebody crazy.

The Warriors lost, so Steph didn't win MVP. Kawhi Leonard won it. Steph later won his first Finals MVP in 2022.

The Raptors vs. Warriors will be a competitive Finals series because Toronto has the best player

I actually think this is going to be a competitive series. I know you guys think it's going to be quick, quick work for the Warriors... the Raptors have the best all-around player [Kawhi Leonard] in this series.

The Raptors won in six games, proving the series was competitive and that Toronto was the better team.

The Celtics are statistically a better team without Jaylen Brown

Jalen Brown has the second worst plus minus of any five time All Star over the past 10 years... Also the Celtics win more games without Jalen Brown than when he is playing... Last year with, with Jalen Brown, they won 66% of their games without, they won 80%... Their entire career with Jalen Brown. They are 263 and 1 31. That's 67% without Brown. There're 60 and 26, 70%.

The stats provided are fictional/hypothetical within the 2026 setting, but presented as fact to support a 'Ewing Theory' style take.

The Celtics are no longer eligible to be the NBA's team of the 2020s without Jaylen Brown

If the Celtics rebuild and they get back to like the NBA finals, let's say in like 2029, let's say they win another chip in 2029, that's a different team. Like the core is completely different without Jalen Brown. I don't know that you could consider the Celtics to ever even be eligible for team of the 2020s. Because it's gonna be two different iterations of the team.

Inherently subjective criteria for what constitutes a 'team of the decade'.

FIFA must change the rule so a red card does not result in a next-game suspension

I think it's just a, a terrible rule that if you get a red card from a game that you're also suspended for the next game. Yeah. You're already serving your punishment by, by sitting out the rest of that game and your team has to go down one player. Why do you have to sit out the next game?

This is a subjective opinion on sporting rules.
