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 thought Fultz was going to dominate the NBA based on how he was cooking other future NBA players in high school and college.

I thought Tyreke Evans would own the league and lead the Kings to contention.

i thought blake Griffen couldn't dunk on everyone in the nba like he did college

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

I thought Bosh was going to remind everyone of why he is one of the greatest PF of all time after the big 3 broke up.

I said Amare Stoudemire would pass Karl Malone in scoring...ah to be young again

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

I could not believe Michael Beasley was not a #1 overall pick

At the time of the 03 draft, I said Melo was going to end up winning more championships than Lebron, Wade and Bosh lol. I was convinced that he was more polished and going to a better situation in Denver than the others and would benefit from that.

Enter Kobe and Pau and their 3 trips to the Finals when Denver would get put out every year when they had a team that could really compete…

That Giannis and Kawhi Leonard would never be all stars.

There was absolutely no way the 1 seed Hawks in 14-15 was going to lose to Lebron's 8 seeded Cavs.

They didn't just lose... They got swept lol.

I was certain that Emeka Okafor would be the better pick than Dwight Howard.

I believed KD when he said he never wanted to leave OKC and wanted to retire here.

I thought it was ridiculous that Grant Hill had to share his Rookie of the Year award with some dude (Jason Kidd), to be fair to myself though, I was like 11 when that happened.

I thought Harden, KD, and Kyrie would win a title in Brooklyn.

I thought Kawhi was gonna bring the clips to the promise land.

That Qyntel Woods would be a star.

[–] brocampo3@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

To be fair, it was really hard to predict that level of mental frailty

[–] Ktron87@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Thought Troy bell was going to become an all star

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

I said Zion wouldn't play again right before that year he did actually play. I'm still not convinced I'm wrong, so let's see.

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

I thought Trae Young would be a bust

[–] Strict-Amoeba1791@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I said when I was like 10 that the suns are going to win a championship someday. Bad take, lol.

I thought Lauri was a bust lol.

[–] 127crazie@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Stanley Johnson and then later Josh Jackson would be starting-caliber players on a contender

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

I also had killian hayes #1 on my draft board. I feel your pain, KOC.

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

I thought warriors would easily train and fix Wiseman and he’d be a perfect compliment to our squad…woah Nelly I was off a bit on that one

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

I thought Kyrie and Durant were gonna win a ring in Brooklyn

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

I thought Giannis would Derrick Rose his knees and never win a ring.
