I really like seeing these kinds of threads where there are like 20 comments calling the downvoted person a nephew and in hindsight being completely wrong lol.
In this case I feel like the take wasn't even that far off the rails, especially as recent as it was (w/ as little disrespect to Harden as possible, obviously dude's still the 4th best SG and one of the greatest offensive players of all time)- he was already 32 back then, with a heliocentric game relying heavily on athleticism, and was already notorious for being a pylon on defense and going wild in the offseason. I don't think I would've gone as far as saying Maxey would be better by now, but I was definitely on the side of thinking he'd decline pretty rapidly.
Because we’re in the now. It’s hard to evaluate the future.
I can say in 3 years Lively is going to be the better than Embiid and you would have to call me nephew and I would agree.
Meanwhile in 3 years, lots of things can happen. Like injury.
Sure, but people on this sub are also extremely fast to downvote something they don’t agree with.
People just like to clown takes against the herd here
