Creative people usually peak in their 20s

When I think about creative people, usually those peak years are in those 20s. You know, you're seeing things for the first time, you're experiencing them in new ways and you're reacting.

This is inherently subjective and varies across different creative fields.

Learn to do everything left-handed when you are eight years old

I would say learn to do everything left-handed. Tie your right hand behind your back for a while [when you're eight].

This is subjective advice on personal development.

Cursive is an overrated and useless skill

Cursive is overrated. All of our eight-year-old listeners, cursive is [fucking]... You'll never need it again.

While some institutions still value it for signatures, digital communication has rendered daily cursive writing largely obsolete for most people.

I was 6'4" and dunking in a basketball game by the 8th grade

I was 6'4 in eighth grade. I dunked in a basketball game in eighth grade. You're Magic Johnson. You're playing all five positions. I was like, dude, this is the greatest thing ever. I'm going to the league.

Titus was indeed a highly-touted prospect in Indiana before playing at Ohio State.

James Harden is still a prime candidate for a massive playoff collapse

Last night with Mitchell not playing well, all the points off of turnovers, which again, he was, he was guilty of. But look, I just have a super hard time with the way he's officiated. It gets so bad with him that I'm like, well I expect there's gonna be some kind of 30 point game. Yeah. I mean he's got the ball in his hands the entire time. But at the end when he needed the free throws, it's like he missed two of the last four. 'cause it—that tells me there's just something about him.

Harden's playoff legacy is a matter of intense debate, and a single game rarely changes the long-term narrative.

The Knicks should be dangerously confident given how the Eastern Conference is looking

They should be. Because if you go back to the regular season games and you know, you try to figure out, okay, what really matters... Detroit's physicality and their defense messes up New York in a way that feels very real. So if you're a Knicks fan and then watching last night going like, I hope Cleveland wins this based on what you saw in the regular season.

The Knicks' success in the playoffs will determine if this confidence was warranted.

Cade Cunningham could end up becoming the best point guard in the NBA

When we're done with this, let's not, not Cade if they don't get through this. 'Cause I think we're all realizing like, Cade could end up becoming the best point guard in the NBA.

This is a long-term career projection that will take years to evaluate.
