For example, Lebron saying Shabazz Napier was his favorite pick in the 2014 draft.

I once proclaimed The Simmons & Embid duo was going to be more dangerous than Stockton & Malone.

I was certain Batum was done and just about out of the league…back in 2014-15 because his scoring dipped that year. It was his fifth or sixth season

I was certain Isaac Bonga would be the bench version of Giannis, or a starter but super discount version of Giannis. Like same style and strengths but just not as good as Giannis. He’s not in the league at all now.

I could still end up right about this, maybe I’m a few years early, but I though the old school, classic style, low post, punishing style of bigs would come back because so many big men these days just aren’t that type of strong and don’t have the same type of post skills. But the athleticism and shooting just plays this old school bigs off the court since they’re too slow to defend it, and todays bigs do have some under the basket skills that just don’t get the same recognition we used to give that style.

I thought Melo would have a better career than Lebron. I realized I was wrong pretty quickly on that one, though.
