There should be a 'Most Valuable Loser' award for the best player on the losing team in each playoff series

There should be like a most valuable loser of each [series] because like, I think it's something that needs to be really awarded, but I want to see how the players react to being handed that trophy and the different ways that they discard the trophy immediately.

The NBA does not have such an award, and the Finals MVP (Jerry West) remains the only time a loser won a major postseason individual award. This remains a subjective proposal.

The Celtics are a tough matchup for the Warriors in the NBA Finals

The Celtics who I think we all can agree were the better team in this series [vs Heat]... I think that going into this fight, I feel like the Celtics are pretty tough matchup for the warriors.

The Warriors won the series in 6 games, showing the matchup favored Golden State in the end.

Jimmy Butler took the right shot at the end of Game 7

I saw some people being like, that's a bad shot. It's like, dude one, it it's wide open. You know, it's a wide open shot... I want him taking that shot. I have no pro—like I would like to go down swinging like that. If you're a heat fan being like Jimmy Butler, taking that shot, who cares about, you know, whether he's a good three point shooter or not, he just, I want him taking that shot.

Butler missed the shot and the Heat lost, making it factually unsuccessful, though the quality of the shot is a subjective debate.

The Heat would have won the series in 5 or 6 games if Jimmy Butler had any help

He's the only reason the series got to seven. He got drill help—if he got any help, the heat win the series in five or six.

Tyler Herro was injured and Bam Adebayo was inconsistent; it's a plausible hypothetical that can't be proven.

The Eagles front office and coaching staff authorized a hatchet job against Jalen Hurts

There are some people in that still work for the Eagles in the front office and the coaching ranks of the Philadelphia Eagles that authorized a hatchet job against their starting quarterbacks. Not just your [Kevin Patullo]s, not just the guys that used to work there... There's some guys inside those walls that gave the go ahead and the green light to run a clear hit piece against the guy.

The article in question contains many anonymous quotes from within the organization, though 'authorization' is an interpretation of the reporting.

Danny Hurley will be the best bald coach in sports history if he wins a third championship

I think that would make Danny Hurley the best bald coach in sports history. The only other option could be Red Auerbach, but he wasn't bald for his entire career. I think right now he's already on the Mount Rushmore of bald head coaches. But if he wins a third, that puts you in rarefied air.

Subjective ranking based on a specific physical attribute.

Both Final Four games will be decided by five points or fewer

Both [games] are gonna be within five... I think they're both gonna be close games. America's the real winner. That's my take.

Depends on the final scores of Arizona vs Michigan and UConn vs Illinois.
