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.

No one can be that heavy and jump so high and not have their knees go bad and lead to a short career. LeBron is still playing 15 years after that take.

I was amongst many fans who thought Ainge was SMOKING for picking Jaylen Brown 3rd overall.

Lebron will be another "the next Jordan" that didn't work out, and Darko will become a great player with that "growing up in war" work ethic.

I really thought that Rudy and KAT would lead the Timbs to the finals. Don't ask me why...

[–] Incompl@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I thought Michael Beasley would be a superstar.

[–] Derriosgaming@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

LBJ was better than Kobe

[–] Happy-North-9969@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I have a ton of them.

I thought Todd Fuller, John Wallace, and Joe Alexander would be multi-time all stars.

I thought Juan Dixon would have the longest career out of those dudes on that Maryland National Championship team. I would not have believed in a million years that it would be Steve Blake.

I was convinced Antawn Jamison would be out of the league in 3 years.

Cedi Osman is going to be an All Star. There’s still time.

[–] pohtent1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I thought Trae Young would be a complete bust.

[–] I_chortled@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Really thought Luke Walton was going to be a hall of fame caliber coach lol

[–] GoldStandardWhey@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Zion doesn't watch porn :/ Way off about that one.

[–] brightblade13@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Dante Exum is the missing piece the Jazz have been waiting for.

[–] vismundcygnus34@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Dennis Smith Jr. was gonna be a perennial all star. Whoops.

OJ Mayo 🫣

[–] SandyMandy17@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Tre Mann would have a better career than Jalen Green

Not sure yet

[–] asparagusbruh@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I thought Derrick Williams was gonna be so fuckin unstoppable dude

[–] Herbdontana@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Emmanuel Mudiay was going to be a stud and turn the Nuggets into playoff contenders

[–] Squirreling_Archer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Either Jahlil Okafor or Mario Hezonja

[–] thealternateopinion@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Forget the trade price, I thought Gobert+Towns+Ant would have been a devastating trio defensively and offensively.

[–] KingDavid920@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I was a Jabari Parker believer. I really wanted him to be on par or better than Melo

[–] index24@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

In like 2015-16 I told someone Lebron needed to win immediately because he only had 2 years of good ball left. Lol

[–] Independent-Still-73@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Trae Young and Cam Reddish > Luka

To the point that out of the 3 of them Cam was going to be the best player

[–] karbonite_kid@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I thought Deon Waiters was going to be the next D Wade after watching him in his first pre season.

[–] giantsfan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I thought drafting Steph Curry was a mistake because the Warriors already had Monta Ellis

[–] oshinla@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Whoever painted the JTA mural in LA before he ever suited up

[–] WyngZero@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Zion would be an MVP candidate by now.

[–] TnL17@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Something something big 3 something something scary hours.

[–] SubcooledBoiling@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I'm sure at some point I said I would never cheer for CP3

[–] Kyber99@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I thought Mo Bamba was the man of his draft. He was going to become a real force in the NBA in just a few years

[–] GrundlePumper420@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I was so sure that Monta was the guy for the Warriors to keep over Steph. Here we are.

[–] MrJustJason@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ben McLemore is the next Ray Allen :(

[–] YesOrNah@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Steph curry would be a role player at best. Thought he’d be a 15-20 min bench player.

[–] baseketball@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I was wrong about Ben Simmons never playing basketball again due to mental health issues. Did not believe he had a back problem that needed to be fixed. There was so much drama in that lost season for the Sixers and Simmons. Both sides probably should have communicated better but it was a dumpster fire after Doc threw Simmons under the bus, never seen anything like it.

[–] Unp0pularS0lutions@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Shabazz Mohammed and Ben Mclemore would be franchise players because at the time, that draft was incredibly ass

[–] Hifosty@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I thought Lonzo was going to help lead us to a championship
