The Mavericks' formula for winning is Luka Doncic scoring 28 while three other starters score in the high teens

That's the formula more [Mark] Cuban should just be like, Hey, every night Luka you go out there and you score 28 and also have like three other starters in the late teens, early twenties.

While this happened in Game 4, the Mavericks ultimately lost the series to the Warriors in five games, suggesting this 'formula' wasn't enough to overcome Golden State.

Bam Adebayo defers too much to Jimmy Butler when they are on the floor together

I do think that there is something to the fact that like when Jimmy Butler, when he's on your team, like he has to be the alpha... and bam, we'll step into the dog roll when Jimmy's not there. But when he's around, he's always going to be the one that's like deferential to us and like lacks a little bit of confidence in himself because Jimmy's out there doing his Jimmy thing.

Subjective analysis of team chemistry and player psychology.

Robert Williams III is the most important defender on the Celtics

100%. If Robert Williams [III] was healthy all year, he would have been the defensive player [of the year].

Williams was elite but Smart won the award. Williams' career has since been hampered by the health issues Hank mentions.

Conor McGregor likely fought on an existing injury and aggravated it during the fight

I think it was probably hurt and probably aggravated it during the fight. Now, would it shock me to know that Conor McGregor tore his ACL in training and then he just pretended that it wasn't hurt? No, that wouldn't surprise me either. But I think it was probably something wrong with it and when he went out there to try to fight on it immediately, just it told him, 'no, you can't do this.'

While confirmed by some medical reports later, the exact state of his knee pre-fight remains a point of debate.

England was the much better team, but Erling Haaland is a one-man squad for Norway

England was a much, much better team. But... that guy that didn't pass the ball to Erling Haaland, give me a break. Haaland, you are a one man team and that's okay.

Subjective opinion on Haaland's role.

The World Cup being expanded to 64 teams is just a monetization play by Gianni Infantino

He wanted to turn it into American sports and he wanted to use this World Cup to learn how we're able to monetize every single facet of our sports. And the fact that it was somebody whispered like, 'Hey, you know, the NCAA tournament they used to do 64, everybody loved that bracket.' He thought about that and he was like, 'that's a great idea. I think I will, I'll try to do that.'

The World Cup expansion is a fact; the motivation is subjective but widely believed to be financial.
