No elite head coach will want to take the Lakers job

No really good coach is going to want to go there [Lakers], though. Jason Kidd's like the top of the list that you can get. And he's not good.

While elite candidates like Monty Williams did avoid them, they eventually hired Frank Vogel, who led them to a championship in 2020.

LeBron James will fake a season-ending injury if the Lakers miss the playoffs

As soon as it becomes like this is a realistic thing [missing the playoffs], [LeBron James] will definitely be like, oh, my hamstring hurts because too much sheesh. My groin. His groin issue. All the sheesh has added weight to my groin.

LeBron did miss a significant portion of the 2018-19 season with a groin injury, and the Lakers ultimately missed the playoffs. Whether it was 'fake' is subjective, but the prediction that an injury would be the narrative was accurate.

The Cavaliers will be the best team in the East by May

Replay that for us in, like, May when the Cavaliers are by far and away the best team in the East.

The Cavs won the Eastern Conference and made the NBA Finals in 2018, making this prediction correct.

LeBron James is going to leave Cleveland a second time

Well, I also saw on SportsCenter today people were saying they were using the phrase like this was almost as bad as LeBron the first time he left Cleveland... So would that imply there's a second time? Huh. Huh. We're just connecting the dots, people.

LeBron James did indeed leave Cleveland a second time in 2018 to join the Lakers.

I will be sad when LeBron James finally signs with the Lakers and the free agency update segment ends

And that was our LeBron James free agency update. I'm going to be really sad when it's over, when he finally signs with the Lakers and we have to stop doing it. It's going to suck.

LeBron James eventually signed with the Los Angeles Lakers in July 2018.

LeBron James will sign his 2016 contract before another Hillary Clinton email is leaked

LeBron James will sign before another [Hillary Clinton] email gets released. [Obama] is gonna fire a nuke up a horse's butt so that Putin can't leak any more of Clinton's emails.

Incorrect. WikiLeaks and other sources continued leaking emails (like the Podesta emails) through October, while LeBron signed his deal with the Cavs on August 12, 2016. The leaks continued well after his signing.
