After silently judging as I scrolled through posts riddled with hot takes from 5 years ago I thought…
What are your hottest takes about how the NBA will look 5 years from now? (Go wild with your guesses, nobody will be judging you…)
My hot takes are
- Josh Giddy will be in the MVP race
- The Booklyn Nets will have either made or won the finals due to Bridges and Ben Simmons showing out
- LeBron will continue to refuse to retire, while still putting up 18/4/4. And will blame it on wanting to play with his wife’s uncles barbers daughters stepson 17 years from now.
In 5 years:
Lebron hasn’t retired and plays on a Vegas expansion team.
Jokic is retired with 2-3 rings.
Kyrie, Harden and Simmons are out of the league sooner rather than later.
Ja Morant is dead.
OKC fail to keep all their young core and fuck up again in some way like they did with Harden.
Wemby is the best player in the league but is yet to win a ring - Gets early Lebron-like criticism.
Zion is having a part-time career like Kawhi. Looks unstoppable when he plays.
It is not unusual for players to be still in their primes at 35.
Durant is still playing at a high level 20+ ppg.
The Bulls are still mid.
The Cavs young core never make an ECF.
The Knicks still haven’t made an ECF.
The Clippers continue to be cursed.
Hornets still suck.
76ers collapse and enter another rebuild.
The Warriors have one more deep playoff run.
Booker and Doncic somehow become teammates.
