NBA 2025 Prediction Contest: We have a winner!

1517 sats \ 29 comments \ @Undisciplined 24 May Stacker_Sports

I was just updating our potential points, now that we know who won MVP, who made All NBA 1st team, and which teams are still alive for the title, and it turns out that no matter who wins the title @gnilma will win this contest.

Congratulations, @gnilma!

This is just further proof that @gnilma is our NBA Guru.

Let me know where you want your 7k in winnings sent.

You took a pretty big swing on LeBron for MVP.

I thought maybe it’d be his year

10 sats \ 6 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 7h

Maybe next year. 40 is the new 30.

That’s what @Aardvark thinks

I was in way better shape at 40 than 30.

Nice. Congrats @gnilma. I knew that Cavs pick would come back to bite me.

Thanks!

I remember talking shit about your Pacers pick back then. Silly me. Really didn't see the Pacers getting this far back when the contest started, and yet, here we are.

It’s been a hell of a turn around from how they stated the first couple months of the season when they didn’t even look like a playoff team.

True. Haliburton and the rest of the team was playing like crap at the beginning of the season. I think only Siakam was playing well, everyone else sucked.

Do you think they can give OKC a challenge? If that is the matchup. I am not counting out the Knicks yet

78 sats \ 1 reply \ @gnilma 23h

I think so. The Pacers is young, plays with pace, has high energy, and a deep rotation. All those will help when playing against OKC, who has a suffocating defense, is also young and has a deep rotation. I do think OKC has a better chance if that's the matchup, but I wouldn't count the Pacers out.

Had you kept the Pacers pick, the contest would at least not be over yet.

I should have just picked OKC.

Self proclaimed NBA guru, only self proclaimed, nothing more than that.

Aw man, feels great to finally win something here. Very big thank you to @Undisciplined for hosting this contest. Also thanks @grayruby for founding, and both of you for running, this awesome territory.

You can send the winnings to the following 7k invoice. Let me know if there are any issues. Thank you!

Btw, you ended up with 58 points (assuming OKC wins) out of a total possible score of 77.

Sats received. Good to know. Thanks again!

You going to do a summary post to let all of us know how we did after the champion is crowned?

50 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 24 May

If I remember to.

Congrats!

A suggestion moving forward: when making a post to crown the winner, maybe forward at least some of the zaps on the post to them? I actually don’t know if that’s possible with the external wallets…

I think forwards can only create cowboy credits. That's a good idea though. I rounded up the winnings to account for likely zaps on this post, but forwarding would fix that.
