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.

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.

Scottie Scheffler will not win the US Open at Shinnecock Hills

I don't like Scottie this week at Shinnecock. I just, again, I think we've seen him more frustrated this year.

I don't think this is the US Open that Scottie wins.

The winning score at the US Open at Shinnecock will be over par
