The discussion surrounding the Lakers’ recent additions continues to be the talk of the town. The franchise waited long enough to find a new head coach, JJ Redick, and days later brought in their new draft, Bronny James. While a majority anticipated the possibility of the latter happening, the HC’s hiring came as a surprise. However, former NBA player Rashad McCants was spot on with his speculation two months prior to the changes.

During his appearance on Gil’s Arena show, the former guard predicted, “JJ [Redick] and LeBron [James] start a podcast. JJ says he wants to be a coach. [He] gets hired by the Lakers… [He] gets to coach LeBron and bring in Bronny.”

Both Redick and Bronny have a common connection; LeBron. Pointing the needle toward the Lakers star, McCants tried to indicate that LeBron’s uncertain future with the franchise had an influence on the decision. Days after his prophecy came true, the clip resurfaced on social media, making NBA fans lose their minds.

“The first and only thing Rashad has been right on because he be getting smoked on them couch debates”, wrote one of the fans in the comment section.

Another added, “Crazy I watched this Live and was like HELL NAW”.

 

Stating about his take on Redick and Bronny the only good one, a fan wrote, “His one and only good take and even then ni**as didn’t think it was a good take”.

“First time he been right”, seconded someone.

“That’s crazy I remember that episode to called it”, one fan commented, recalling that particular episode.

Seems like Bronny James will keep making headlines for days to come. Besides receiving harsh remarks from many, the young guard also got support and acknowledgment from the big names.
