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.

MOST RECENTJUL 7, 2026
PENDING

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.

Should be a great game tonight. Miami might keep it close until late, but I think Mendoza and Indiana have too much firepower. Bet my Same Game Parlay exclusively @HardRockBet #HRBPartner

I’ve seen mock drafts where Fernando Mendoza is the second QB taken. Uh, that’s not going to happen.
