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 said Darko was the euro KG.

Steph Curry wasn't sustainable...

The Jazz would have a championship one day. Hopefully Ainge has a little magic left.

I'm a blazers fan and I wanted Kendall Marshall over Damian Lillard. I thought we needed a pass first point guard for our team of LA, Wes, Batum and Robin Lopez. 🤦

I simultaneously said at the beginning of the 21' season that Giannis should have dipped and it sucked for CP3 to get traded to Phoenix. I may have actually been responsible for the 2021 NBA Finals.

I hereby declare my Trae Young for 2024 MVP campaign starting today, and I really hope so. Fuck the bitches that hate him

Suns (after getting shafted by the lottery balls) should have traded up to get Ja or Garland, rather than trading down to get CamJ

Thought Elfrid Payton was the next rondo

you can't win a championship when your best player is a defensively limited center

The Lakers would finish last season missing the playoffs for the 2nd straight year…looked good for a while though lol

I vastly overprojected on D Rose's career but I don't know if injuries should count.

[–] sewsgup@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (17 children)

he went from ROY > all star > MVP within his 1st 3 seasons, improving his team performance each year.

it was impossible not to overproject his career, it was such a tremendous trajectory

Honestly it was reasonable at the time. Him and Arvydas Sabonis are the greatest NBA what ifs of all time in my opinion

[–] chasehimdown@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Greg Oden, Brandon Roy ? Len Bias perhaps ?

Pretty sure I said Jimmy would never take us to the Finals when he was traded here.

Me and my friends wrote down predictions before the season once. I had the Melo/Rose Knicks as the 3rd seed, making ECF and Hornacek winning coach of the year lol.

[–] grudgepacker@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I said loudly more than once we would never get Damian Lillard.

Of course, I also said loudly more than once we would never get Jrue so I should have learned my lesson the first time.

Quick quick, shout “WE’LL NEVER GET LUKA!”

I really thought KAT was destined for superstardom.

[–] silverxsmoke@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Harden > D Wade

I thought Josh Jackson was going to be who Mikal Bridges became

[–] BeWinShoots@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I called him the next iguodala. Also thought Stanley Johnson’s was the next Ron Artest.

Stockton and Malone are pretty dangerous off the court.

[–] MyNamesNotCal@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Stockton too? I only know about Malone.

[–] ZSPARROW2727@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah one doesn’t think COVID is real and another impregnated a 13 year old. About the same if you really think about it.

[–] fuzzygypsy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hide yo wife from Malone, hide yo doctor from Stockton

I used to say Ben Simmons would be better than LeBron once he had developed a jumpshot.

Thinking Jokic was too exploitable defensively to get over the hump in the playoffs.

I thought Ben Simmons was back. He isn't.

I thought Frank Kaminsky was the next coming of prime K-Love when the hornets drafted him

I thought that Jared Sullinger was going to be one of the best PFs for at least a decade.

last year: "maybe wiseman can become a plausible backup for looney"

[–] supremehat27@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I thought the Bucks were too inconsistent to win a championship.

What makes it even worse is that I said this right before the 2021 playoffs started lol

I had a bad stretch of believing in wings who never planned out: dajuan summers, rodney carney, perry jones, quincy miller

Thomas Robinson was going to have a better career than Anthony Davis, yeah…
