Was Harden the first player that the blogbois got right or was there someone else before him? (alien.top)

We all know Harden as the original blogboi player, a player that analytic enthusiasts claimed would be a superstar because of his efficiency and advanced stats, even in his rookie season. I have to admit I doubted them at the time, but they were right.

There's also the infamous EG and Jokic situation, a guy fascinated by advanced metrics predicting this role player would be a superstar

My question is: was Harden the OG blogboi player? Or just the most famous case of advanced metrics being right? Any other examples of this before that?
