Bold Predictions

Dikembe Mutombo Will Do the Finger Wag

I don't know about you, but the current GEICO ad series cracks me up. Dikembe's spot is no different. I mean, it is no Eddie Money, but it is close. 

Besides delivering a chuckle, the other thing this does is bring back to relevancy the finger wag that Mutumbo once readily flashed after depositing a would-be shot attempt into the stands. 

This shot-blocking great will undoubtedly be up to his old tricks, and I don't expect him to let his GEICO fans down. 

Usain Bolt Will Bring the House Down with a Dunk

Any discussion of the greatest athlete on the planet has to include Usain Bolt.

The living legend is 6’5”, 210 pounds and he runs well for his size...or any other size. Shoot, this guy runs decent for a cheetah.

Apparently, he isn't bad at soccer, and as you can see in the video, he has decent hops. He is a freak of nature. 

Now, I don't know if he can shoot or dribble, but he isn't going to have to worry about that on a fast break.

There is no way Bolt won't break free on at least one fast break, and the natural showman is going to whip out his best dunks when he does.

Kevin Hart Will Keep His Clothes on 

This shouldn't be a bold prediction, but after Kevin Hart's stripping tantrum last year, it is. 

This is just an outsider's opinion, but I am going to say that tantrum was a bit of acting by the comedian.

I have no doubt that Hart is going to do something zany, but I have no idea what that will be. Well, other than the fact I don't expect him to repeat himself. 

And at some moment during the festivities, he'll get the mike.  

At that point, all bets are off.
