In 2014, Jaylen Brown (Who was then a High School student) made a legendary Tweet in which his high school teacher at Wheeler High School in Marietta, Georgia had (allegedly) predicted that he'd be in prison in 5 years:
In the time since then, Jaylen Brown has achieved the following distinctions:
Was rated as a 5-star recruit going into college in 2015, ultimately attending the University of California
Pac-12 Freshman of the Year playing for Cal
Played varsity chess for Cal
Was taken as a Top 3 pick in the NBA Draft
Voted as Vice President of the National Basketball Players' Association at the age of 22
Lectured at Harvard University at the age of 21
Got offered a NASA internship
Served as an MIT Media Lab fellow
Founded the 7uice Foundation
Has been voted as an NBA All-Star 3 times
Signed the richest contract in NBA history in July 2023 (5 years, $304 million USD supermax contract with the Boston Celtics).
Was named as the Eastern Conference Finals MVP (The Larry Bird Trophy)

Still, if he did go to jail in 2019, he'd have easily been the smartest man in his cell block.
