Hindsight is 20/20, and often serves to make those professing public prognostications look bad when they don't come to fruition. Back in 2012, the Golden State Warriors were young and struggling and packaged Monta Ellis, Kwame Brown and Ekpe Upoh to the Bucks for Andrew Bogut and Stephen Jackson. This made select Dubs fans angry, because what kind of idiots would build around a weak-ankled, baby-faced 23-year-old like Stephen Curry? Fast forward three-and-a-half years and we know how that turned out. Very well. Golden State is currently putting it on the Pacers (79 points in the first half) on their way to a start you only see in video games where the difficulty's set too low (see: 23-0). But unfortunately Twitter is forever, or at least until you decide to delete it. And thus we have the ability to look back at predictions that fell flat, like the ones from these fans who would've chosen Monta Ellis over a guy who's got his eyes on taking the GOAT title from Michael Jordan:
In fairness, everybody who makes predictions makes bad ones. However, we can probably all agree that Twitter has an overflow.
