- Harsher in Hindsight: Derrick Rose retires after a Hall of Fame career, presumably returning to his MVP self after recovering from injuries. In real life, he missed pretty much his entire prime due to said injuries.

- LeBron James eventually did sign with the Lakers in 2018. Even better, the original trailer for the article includes a close-up shot of LeBron in a Lakers uniform, running past an exasperated-looking Erik Spoelstra (the Heat's head coach).
- The Toronto Raptors, who are left ringless in the simulation, won the NBA Finals in 2019.
- Jeremy Pargo actually played in three games for the Warriors in February 2020.
