It's looking like he kinda, sorta did.
Yesterday, I read part one and part two of Bill Simmons' annual "Trade Value Rankings" column. As we've come to expect with Simmons, it was a good and long (!) read. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Simmons take over as GM for an NBA team one day, if that's something he wanted to do. The guy is always wheelin' and dealin' in his mind. And it's just one man's opinion, but most of the trade ideas he has make a considerable amount of sense.
So in part two of his column yesterday, Simmons was talking about Ricky Rubio's trade value (Rubio came in at 23rd overall, by the way), and he wrote the following sentence:
Annnnnnd, jinxed. Just like that. The column was posted yesterday in the early afternoon. Last night, the Lakers and Timberwolves played, and Rubio tore his ACL, after colliding with Kobe Bryant. Hmmm, that's a little eerie if you ask me.
