Ahead of last night’s robbery of the Boston Celtics by the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 1 of the second round of the playoffs, there was a TON of chatter across Twitter about how the Sixers would hang tough with the heavily-favored Celtics without Joel Embiid playing.

That of course, was expected, but last night after the game, I stumbled across a random Twitter account that was a head of the game, accurately predicting the outcome of Game 1 and the performance by James Harden.

Listen, I have no idea who this person is on Twitter.

Is he the young kid in the picture ripping a fat blunt while stepping into a future dimension to predict the James Harden masterclass from last night? 

I’m having trouble finding a reason to believe he’s not exactly that.

Sure, the young kid part is certainly up for debate, however the prediction was spot on.

It started on April 29th with a tweet sent from the account saying that James Harden was going to hit a signature step back three pointer to secure game one.

That’s exactly what happened in Game 1, with Harden hitting a three pointer over Al Horford with 8.7 seconds left on the clock to secure the upset for the Philadelphia 76ers.

Okay so at that point, it’s whatever, right?

This account was just out there rooting for the Sixers to win like the rest of us., sending out a few wild tweets ahead of the second round. Nothing really too crazy to note so far, but then he fired out another one on April 30th in response to the trending Twitter question

“What’s the biggest ‘I’m him moment’ in NBA playoff history?”

Our young blunt smoking Shaman responded with the following. 

Now we’re talking.

This kid is definitely some type of shaman, prophet or hell, even a time traveler.

James Harden in Game 1 against the Boston Celtics without Joel Embiid was the definition of a “I’m HIM” moment. Period.

When another user replied saying “the jokes write themselves” the Shaman stared into the eyes of adversity on Twitter and replied “come back tomorrow night then”. 

Now we’re talking. That’s a confident tweet right there and it’s more than possible we are dealing with either a Shaman of sorts or a time traveler. Either way, I want whatever that kid is smoking in the profile picture. The confidence, or at the very least, the optimism about the 76ers in the second round of the playoffs is admirable. If that’s the secret ingredient then sign me up.
