The British Open is the only major Tiger Woods can realistically contend in at this point in his career

I look at Tiger right now and I think the only major he can really contend in and potentially win is the British Open. Because firm/fast/warm things like that play into his hands. It's just gonna be tough for Tiger to play at a wet and soft golf course that plays this long when he is 40 and 50 yards behind a Scotty Scheffler or a Brooks [Koepka] or a Rory [McIlroy].

Opinion Golf Medium

Tiger missed the cut at the 2024 British Open, shooting +14 over two rounds.

Nikola Jokic is the best basketball player in the world, and that's a fact

I am so happy that I'm alive, that I am blessed to be able to do a sports podcast while Nikola Jokic is playing basketball because holy shit, he is the best. ... remind everyone that yes, I am the best player in the world. And that's a fact.

Fact Claim Basketball Mild

Jokic had just won his 3rd MVP in 4 years and was widely regarded as the consensus best player following the Nuggets 2023 championship.

It is better to guard Nikola Jokic with average defenders than one elite defender like Rudy Gobert

I think it's almost better to guard Jokic with like one and a half slash two average defenders than it is to guard him with one good defender [like Rudy Gobert].

Opinion Basketball Medium Subjective

The Nuggets eventually defeated the Timberwolves in 2023 and the Wolves' strategy of single-covering Jokic with Gobert was heavily debated throughout this series.

The Timberwolves look like they are still exhausted from the Tom Thibodeau era and have officially hit a wall

The Timberwolves actually, they look better at times defensively with [Rudy] Gobert on the bench... I think maybe we need to have the conversation about the Timberwolves. They look like they're still exhausted from when [Thibodeau] coached 'em back in 2018. They hit the wall after game two. I feel like this is it. Classic [Thibodeau] just ran its guys too hard and now they can't win another playoff game.

Opinion Basketball Medium

The Timberwolves were not actually dead; they won Game 6 in a massive blowout and forced a Game 7, which they also won to reach the Western Conference Finals.
