THE HIGHLIGHT REELbest, worst, and most recent take — at a glance.
BEST TAKEMAY 21, 2026
ARIGHT

“SHAI GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER: BEST PLAYER ON THE PLANET. NOBODY MORE CLUTCH.”

SGA won his second consecutive NBA MVP award in a landslide with 83 of 100 first-place votes, was a unanimous All-NBA First Team selection for the fourth straight year, won the Clutch Player of the Year award, and led the NBA with 175 clutch points — all fully satisfying the resolution criteria. Every single condition for a TRUE verdict was met.

WORST TAKEMAY 8, 2026
FWRONG

“The Timberwolves should not fear Victor Wembanyama because he is still only half a player”

The Spurs defeated the Timberwolves in six games, with San Antonio winning the series 4-2 and outscoring Minnesota by 97 points across the series. Wembanyama posted 19.8 PPG and 12.0 RPG in the series per NBA.com, set an NBA single-game playoff record with 12 blocks in Game 1, and delivered a 27-point, 17-rebound, 5-assist, 3-block performance in Game 5. The Spurs advanced to the Western Conference Finals largely on the strength of Wembanyama's dominant two-way play, directly contradicting the 'only half a player' narrative.

“I’m giving Brock Purdy the edge for MVP. He just keeps making plays for a 49ers team that continues to battle through injuries. Is it finally his year? #nfl #mvp #brockpurdy #joshallen”

“I like Cowboys trading a 6th this draft and 2nd next for Joey Porter Jr. who immediately becomes their No. 1 corner. PFF ranked him 36th of 114 CBs last yr - not great - but did project him at 26 as an All-Pro breakout candidate this yr. Worth the plunge. Win now. We got better.”
