2020-21 Nostradumbass of the Year

Yakshi is your new prognosticator extraordinaire.
By | 27 Comments | May 19, 2021

The first annual  Kings Herald Prediction Contest has come to an end and we have a new Nostradumbass:

Yakshi!

Iyuman finished 2nd, and must have been so confident in his victory that he didn’t even participate in the final game’s prediction contest, allowing Yakshi to take the lead at the last minute.  Kosta, Klam and adamsite rounded out the top 5.  You can see the full results for the season here.

Congratulations to Yakshi, your new champion of foresight, master of prediction and prognosticator extraordinaire.  As he clearly knew what was going to happen this year, he should have warned us so we might have spent our time doing more productive things than arguing about Kings basketball all the time, but alas.  Yakshi will get a bright new Nostradumbass badge next to his username for eternity and also wins whatever piece of merchandise he’d like from the Kings Herald store.

Thank you to everyone who spent time participating in this year’s contests.  While it’s only the first year we’ve done it on this site and with this format, it’s the 9th or so year we’ve held this contest with fans, carried over from our previous digs.  This year may have been our most popular year ever, with 440 of you participating at least once, and several of you almost every single contest.

Thanks for playing, and we’ll see you next season!

Congrats to our new prescient overlord! I could use some advice about the real estate market, or possibly some unknown company that just invented the cure for cancer.

Cracked the top thirty! Goals for next season, which is nice since any distraction from actual game results will be welcome.

Thanks to Akis for putting it on each game…after being longtime lurker on other site, this was the first year I actually participated. I had fun. Thanks again.

I dont show scores on mine for 12/27, 3/22 or 3/31. I know I submitted for each game. Can I get a recount!? I want that top 5 finish! I was always a C student so this is a big one for me lol

The election count was rigged! Let’s hire SBNation to do an investigation, because they will surely be a neutral observer!

I should have won. I blame it on a trip to an Indian restaurant I took back in the fall. It wasn’t a good way to start the season.

Yeah? Well I, for one, had to deal with the pandemic.

FML. I thought I clicked submit. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. If I was to lose my lead, let it be the KANGZ way.

Congrats Yakshi and to the TKH team for the year!

I feel like you deserve a special Kang of Kangz badge for this outcome.

Congratulations to all. My first year participating and I missed about 16 games. Based on my calculations, if I had done every game I’d have been right up there. Y’all better watch out next year.

First time I really participated and it was extremely fun playing along and watching the standings every week.

Thanks for doing this!

I maintain I’m top 25. I missed two important games at the end due to work.

You’ve simply got to learn to prioritize your life.

Having said that, I probably missed at least a dozen.

I just missed the play in this year and so I’m out of the top 30. But I’m going to put in the work this off-season every day and probably get a top 3 draft pick advisor on my team. Championship next season for sure! And I’m not getting a new coach either. Consistency.

Congrats Yakshi!

To predict this team, especially this year, took some real insight and medications, I’m sure!

Always fun doing this and following along game by game, thank you Akis!

I thought we had preseason predictions. Was that counted?

It’s kind of a shame I finished in the top 100 since I was trying to finish last.

Oh well, there’s always next year.

Congrats Yakshi and Lyuman! Well deserved!
