“I Told You So”: NBA Hall of Famer Takes Pride on His Matthew Stafford Super Bowl Prediction

The NFL was eyeing an interesting Super Bowl this year. With Los Angeles Rams defeating Tom Brady and Cincinnati Bengals downing the sensational Patrick Mahomes, it became clear that the year 2022 had started on an interesting note. A veteran No. 1 pick, Matthew Stafford, went against a relatively younger No. 1 pick, Joe Burrow.  

Judging by the form of Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady, it was safe to assume that they were on a streak for a third Super Bowl matchup. However, the uprising of Joe Burrow and Matthew Stafford put that on hold. The Los Angeles Rams were dominant throughout the playoffs, and the Bengals were equally mesmerizing. 

Many assumed the Stafford led Rams to be a Super Bowl winning team, which became clear after they defeated the defending champions in the NFC Championship game. Stafford was clearly understated the entire season, however, it was the NBA legend Chris Webber, who did not give up on him.

The five-time NBA All-Star was apparently hyped on his on-point prediction, however, he did not make a noise after the Super Bowl, when it actually came true. When asked about the same, the NBA veteran replied that he was probably doing the same, what Aaron Donald did in his Super Bowl parade; take off the shirt and celebrate.
