Bryce Maximus James is guaranteed to play in the NBA

My stardom is Bryce Maximus James. 'cause guess what? He's gonna be in the NBA at some point. I'm gonna call my shot right now. ... Feels like he's gonna get drafted and get in the NBA. The kid don't know. I just got a feeling about this one.

Bryce James is a highly touted prospect, but he is still in high school and has yet to reach draft eligibility.

Jimmy Butler is the top-one player in the NBA

Jimmy Butler is a king, top one player in the NBA. He got fined due to attempting to escalate the situation and also for not snitching.

While Butler is elite, he has never been considered the literal #1 player in the NBA by any consensus or major award.

The 2020 NBA City Edition uniforms are largely based on Reddit suggestions

NBA is the one league where I'm pretty sure someone in the league office is just scrolling through Reddit at all times and be like, look at this fucking uniform. This is cool. Let's build an entire uniform base off of this.

Subjective claim about the source of design inspiration.

LeBron James only defended China to protect his Space Jam 2 ticket sales

LeBron is so transparent that he only wanted to say nice things about China because he wants to sell his stupid movie Space Jam 2. Space Jam 1 is better.

LeBron's business ties to China and the upcoming Space Jam 2 release were widely cited by critics as the reason for his stance.

Ranking Steph Curry over Kobe Bryant all-time is crazy

Bleacher Report came out with their top 50 all-time NBA players and Kobe was 14, Steph Curry is 10... They're mad. They're real mad. They're big mad.

This is an ongoing subjective debate in NBA circles, though the ranking was widely seen as a content-generating troll by Bleacher Report.

Kobe Bryant is not even a top five Laker anymore now that LeBron James is in Los Angeles

My sit-em is Kobe Bryant. He's not even a top five Laker anymore now that LeBron's there.

Kobe's ranking in Laker history is subjective, but almost all experts rank him in the top 3.

Jabari Parker was benched because he started the mutiny against the Bulls' practice

Jabari Parker, he has been benched because, and this is, I mean, I have no sources to back me up except my own brain, but he was clearly the guy who started the mutiny, right? Because he didn't want to practice. He doesn't want to play defense.

While Parker was famously benched and criticized for his defense and 'not getting paid to play defense' comments, it was never officially confirmed he was the sole leader of the 'mutiny'.

Bol Bol will get injured this season because he is way too tall

My sit-em is Bol Bol. This guy is way too fucking tall. There's no way he makes it this whole season without getting hurt... he wears short shorts, so it makes him look even taller.

Bol Bol suffered a season-ending foot injury in mid-December 2018, just a few weeks after this prediction.

Duke could beat the Cleveland Cavaliers

Zion Williamson, R.J. Barrett, Alex O'Connell. It's the big three, and Paul Pierce told them they could beat the Cavs, and they could. Dukes, yeah.

While never tested, the consensus among experts is that even the worst NBA team would dominate any college team due to depth and age.

The first three Christmas Day NBA unders will always win

I bet the first three Christmas Day unders every single year, and I think it's won every single year for like 15 years. The only year it didn't win was the lockout year when the first game of the season was Christmas Day. And it's basically because everyone's full... And they wear those stupid jerseys... Take the Christmas Day Unders first three.

In 2017, the first three games were 76ers-Knicks (Total 203, Under 216), Wizards-Celtics (Total 214, Under 216), and Rockets-Thunder (Total 219, Over 218). He was 2-1 this year, breaking the 'streak'.
