Saul: Today was such a good soccer game. I didn’t think I would score so many goals.
Jay: Duh, everyone knows you’re second to none. You’re the best player in the league.
Saul: I didn’t really think about it that way. I’m glad people can see how hard I train.
Jay: Bro, you’re the best. Like I said, you’re second to none.
Context #2
Dwayne: This restaurant is so delicious. It’s not even that expensive.
Alexis: Yes! This place is second to none, even though it’s a small local joint.
Dwayne: I guess people never think small community restaurants like these can be world class.
Alexis: Well, most restaurants start somewhere right?
Dwayne: Yeah. And your knowledge of finding good restaurants like these is definitely second to none.
Meaning: Second to none means literally: there is no one to whom this person would be second. Example: It is the best. It can be applied to objects, too.
