Kevin Durant will sign with the Knicks to get his 'masculinity' back

This is going to be the greatest free agent summer of all time, because we basically have Kevin Durant being like, can an entire internet troll him into going to the Knicks just to try to get his made-up masculinity back... We will take away the Triple B [Baby Back Bitch] if he goes to the Knicks.

Durant did leave the Warriors, but he signed with the Brooklyn Nets instead of the Knicks.

Kawhi Leonard will never play another game for the San Antonio Spurs

Kawhi's never playing another game for the San Antonio Spurs. I don't know... I really don't think so... The fact that he's not even speaking to anyone, it seems like he's not speaking to anyone on the Spurs... I don't think he's ever playing another game for the Spurs.

Kawhi Leonard was traded to the Toronto Raptors in July 2018 and indeed never played for the Spurs again.

Kawhi Leonard's defiance toward the Spurs is because he tried marijuana once

This kind of reminds me of... signs to tell that maybe your teen is trying marijuana. They develop a new group of friends. They stop listening to your instructions. They become defiant... I think maybe Kawhi Leonard tried marijuana. And it's been all downhill from there. I think he inhaled marijuana at least once, and now he's becoming an issue.

This is a comedic bit and not a verifiable claim about Leonard's drug use.

LeBron James considering the Warriors is a savvy leverage move

If he opens up the Warriors, it's like everyone's got to compete with that. ... So he just got instant leverage over everyone, which he already had, but now it's even more.

LeBron signed with the Lakers later that summer, supporting the idea that the Warriors rumor was noise or leverage.

LeBron James has a fake Instagram account for creeping on people

LeBron said that Coachella looked fun, but LeBron isn't on any social media. ... ZeroDark3023. So no Twitter, no Instagram, but Coachella looked fun. ... LeBron James has a Finstagram out there that he uses to creep on people. He has a fake Instagram. ... Shocker. LeBron James, not on social media, but says that Coachella looked fun. Hmm.

While not definitively proven, many athletes are known to have 'burner' or 'finstagram' accounts. LeBron's claim that it 'looked fun' implies he saw it on social media.

Lavar Ball is just the basketball version of Kris Jenner

That Lavar Ball is just the basketball Kris Jenner. I don't know what that means, but I'm into it. He is basically going to market his sons so relentlessly and throw them in our face.

Lavar Ball successfully utilized a reality-TV style media blitz to build a massive brand and secure high draft spots for Lonzo and Lamelo.

Magic Johnson is healthier than LeBron James because he conquered AIDS

I would make the case Magic Johnson might be a little bit more healthy [than LeBron]. Like the guys, he's conquered AIDS. 25 years. But I guess they didn't factor AIDS into this equation. But still.

The take is a joke comparing the ability to survive a once-terminal illness with general athletic longevity. It's not a serious medical comparison.

It is suspicious that LeBron James still hasn't signed his contract with the Cavaliers

NBA Free Agency... LeBron James still hasn't signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Hmm. Just saying. Hmm. I'm not saying, but. Hmm. Has everybody else signed? Yeah. So... he has not.

LeBron eventually signed a 3-year, $100 million deal with the Cavs in August 2016.
