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.

Jahlil Okafor. Fellow laker fans were adamant we had to draft him because “we always have a dominant big”. Despite him having NO modern nba skill (even at the time) and was as flat footed defensively as I’ve ever seen. At a time that “going small” was the craze, he projected to not be a poor center defender with no jumper, but there was no versatility upside to him on offense of defense.

I had him as a high level backup though (Al Jefferson). Had no idea his career would only last less than 250 games across only 6 years
