Which Athletes Were You The Most Wrong About?

Inspired by this

You couldn’t tell me Ben McLemore wasn’t going to be Bucks Ray Allen. Jeremy Lamb looked like a 25 a night guy at UCONN. Reminded me of TMac physically

Mind you I was still a kid but I thought Tim Duncan would just be average in the NBA

Don’t feel bad. AD at Kentucky was used as a rim runner so I didn’t see the hype. It was only when he showed his full game in NO I was like damn

I didn't think Victor would be a bust but I was surprised at how easily he started dominating nba games.

Pretty much got moved to center around midway of his rookie year and been a borderline top 10 player in the league since.

It's still wild watching a dude hit 5 3's and get 5 blocks in a game.

I really thought the Chiefs reached for Mahomes

His tape wasn't great to me but now I see what they saw, I didn't think that backyard style would fly in the NFL and that he would be an interception machine.

I was SO WRONG

Felt the same way about Josh Allen as well but feel differently about that:

Josh Allens stats and tape from college are almost universally agreed to be BAD ( and thats even without accounting for the lower level of competition )

The bills somehow did an amazing job of turning A VERY UNDERDEVELOPED QB with PROTOTYPICAL measurables into a probable future hall of famer.


Nobody was wrong about Allen, The Bills performed a rare miracle

I had to eat some serious crow regarding Tom Brady from the early 00s to his run in the 10s

Ntilikina


Fultz

I mine is kind of the reverse because I didn’t understand why they were saying Tim Duncan would’ve went #1 if he came out in 1996. Didn’t understand why Allen Iverson went #1 either. It’s because I thought Marcus Camby was gonna be that dude

I thought UMass was gonna win the whole thing

Breh I thought Marcus Camby was gonna be a beast. I loved that UMass team, I thought them two Ricans might have had a shot too

But for real for real, I thought Donyell Marshall was gonna be a GOAT.

Tyreke Evans in the screen cap. You can never take away that Rookie of the Year tho.

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

i was dead wrong about josh allen

 

[RedBull]

Young Kobe. I hated that kid, I thought he was just hype …until Shaq fouled out vs. the Pacers and he took over.Red Bull


I knew he was more than just hype at that moment. I saw what others saw in him.


Alonzo Mourning. I thought he was gonna be mid.


Melo. I thought he was gonna be like Bron.

Dak, I though he’d be Pat Mahomes.

Steph Curry. Who knew??

You’re talking about Padilla and Trevieso. I loved them niqqas, they were wicked.

 

[Hov]

Adrian Peterson

I thought he was injury prone his senior year and wouldn’t last with that running style

Lamar Jackson

I’m flabbergasted I mean if he went to any other situation I know I would’ve been right but that freaking Ravens organization paired with an really commendable humble “I will do anything it takes to play in this system and get better” was like once in a lifetime magic and now he’s the player we see today
