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.

I knew that Austin Rivers would not be a great NBA player 10 minutes into an early season game at Duke. Recall that he came into college with ENORMOUS hype. People ranked him number one in his high school class over Anthony Davis (who was a demigod at Kentucky).

His shooting mechanics were poor, he had horrible shot selection, his handles were weak, poor touch around the basket, and very underwhelming athleticism. I knew all these things would bite him in the ass at the next level. i think he only looked like a monster while abusing helpless Orlando area high school kids.
