THE HIGHLIGHT REELbest, worst, and most recent take — at a glance.
BEST TAKEJUN 19, 2026
B+RIGHT

AJ Dybantsa is the right choice to go #1 overall in next week's NBA Draft based on his mentality, tenacity, professional approach, and right way to play - the opposite of Darryn Peterson

AJ Dybantsa was selected #1 overall by the Washington Wizards in the 2026 NBA Draft, exactly as Cowherd predicted. Darryn Peterson went #2 overall to the Utah Jazz, confirming Dybantsa was chosen ahead of him. The core factual claim of the prediction — Dybantsa going #1 — was correct.

WORST TAKEJUN 3, 2026
FWRONG

San Antonio will win the NBA Finals in 6 or 7 games because they have the best overall player and home court advantage, both of which matter significantly

The New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 4-1 in the 2026 NBA Finals, winning their first championship since 1973. San Antonio did not win the Finals, and the series lasted only 5 games — not 6 or 7 as Cowherd predicted. Additionally, Wembanyama and the Spurs famously blew late leads in every game, with the Knicks rallying from double-digit deficits in all four of their wins.

Brad Stevens had a simple choice between Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. One is an awful player analytically while the other is a great one analytically, so Stevens chose the great one by trading Brown.

Awaiting result — this take gets a grade once it resolves.

Boston got worse with the Jaylen Brown trade to the 76ers. The Celtics should not have felt the need to make this deal right now.

Jaylen Brown is not a number one option and at $57M per year annually doesn't want to go back to being a number two, which is why the Celtics trade made sense

Caitlin Clark is the number one shooter, distributor, play initiator, and playmaker, so being voted 11th best guard by WNBA players is petty
