Was there a moment you got ridiculed or downvoted to hell for stating your opinion or prediction at first, but later got vindicated despite the majority disagreeing with you? If you could even share the link to your comment, that would be awesome.

Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet

After 2019 a lot of people thought those two wouldn’t be able to handle the pressure of leading a team, and yet both became All-Stars and proven winning pieces on a contending team.

Sure they’re not the mega-watt superstar who can win a ring alone, but for a 27th pick and undrafted FA, not too shabby boys. Not too shabby at all.
