      They're both pretty even, LeBron basically eliminated three threats when he went to Miami, (Toronto, Miami, and Boston because of their age), I have no idea why people give KD so much mess and I'm a Spurs fan, him and Steph have injury problems especially Steph so it's no guarantee they win the Championship

      he probably wouldnt be putting up 20+ ppg the last 2 season but his work ethic would still be there but it would probably produce around 17-19 ppg in that senerio but he'll be able to maintain the same consistent intensity on defense from 2014 bc his offensive load wouldn't be as high

      Fourth of a dwarf regular season and playoffs are totally different they handled Shaq and Pat Ewing so I think those would have been his first game 7 wins against Houston

    • @tgc1635
      @tgc1635 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hakeem will win in 1994 no matter what, 1995 is a different story, as the Rockets traded for Clyde Drexler, so now it's up to Chicago to make an adjustment to their roster

    • @thespot2855
      @thespot2855 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Fourth of a dwarf but at the same time when it's finals time Jordan goes into GOAT mode doing whatever it takes to motivate his team and elevate everyone's game I can't see them losing and I'm sure they would've tried to add Rodman earlier to help defend Hakeem

    • @tgc1635
      @tgc1635 8 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      Jon Johnson Hakeem was the one player that Rodman had trouble stopping, he was quicker than the centers rodman usually guarded. Hakeem also went GOAT mode in the finals, his finals scoring averages being at least 6 points better than his regular season averages

    • @jefftX
      @jefftX 7 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      B2theProphet as a Pistons fan, this is mine. We won in '04 with Darko riding the bench. Then we lost in '05, game 7 to the Spurs in like the final minute or two (close game until then). I gotta think if we had drafted either Melo or Wade the Pistons definitely win in '04 and '05. Then, Ben Wallace had left the team...I don't think Ben would have left. I think they would have had a shot at a 3-peat for sure, and definitely would have stayed competitive for a good while.
      Now bosh, I'm not 100% sure because we had traded for sheed. So it wouldn't have been the optimal choice. We needed a wing, and Wade and Melo fit the mold perfectly.
      This mistake still haunts me. Also, damn you Spurs for making me cry as a kid watching you beat my pistons in the final few minutes of the '05 NBA Finals in game 7.

      B2theProphet wouldnt have had a big impact like a lot of ppl think. drafting any of those guys instead of milicic would have prolonged detroit’s run a couple more years but nothing more. detroit was full of aging veterans and melo and bosh werent exactly cornerstones for their own teams.

    If Shaq stayed in LA with Kobe they would have 3 more rings AT LEAST

    • @xxlslam1
      @xxlslam1 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Shaq had a 2 year window before he was done after splitting with Kobe. Id say they would have won 1 more

    • @Giorgos-ee5kn
      @Giorgos-ee5kn 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Ι ll not disagree with u but i ll mention the good cooperation that they had all the years ....if Shaq stayed that is my prediction:
      2005 : Elimination of LA and Spurs the champions MVP Tony Parker
      2006 : LA to the finals and win the Pistons and take revenge for the 2004 loss MVP Kobe Bryant
      2007 : LA to the Finals and win the Cavaliers MVP Kobe Bryant
      2008 : return of fisher and additions of Ariza LA to the finals but loss against Celtics MVP Paul Pierce
      2009 :LA to the finals and win the champ against Orlando MVP Kobe Bryant
      2010 :Addition of Metta and LA to the finals and take revenge against Celtics MVP Kobe Bryant
      2011 :retirement of Shaq with elimination against Mavericks who won the Championsip and Dirk the MVP
      So 2006,2007,2009,2010 LA would take champs and Kobe become the best player on NBA history with 7 Championships and shaq the best Center in NBA history too......and Kobe-Shaq dwo the best off all time
      Tell me crazy but i have studied studied This scenario

    • @johannrolle693

    • @xxlslam1
      @xxlslam1 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      so what?kobe played in a much more competitive era. Imagine MJ having to play in the 00s where prime lebron garnett duncan shaq kobe were all present and zone defense is allowed. Lets just say Jordan wouldnt have won 6 as the zone would have definitely hurt his game as a player without much 3 point range.

He was the guy that was suppose to return us to a post Jordan championship team. Hit you right in the feels knowing that he was going to lead us to many championship for many years in a row but the NBA gods had to nurf him.

    In this video, I talk about 3 of my favorite what if scenarios to think about. These are definitely not the top 3, and there are certainly better ones, they`re just personal favorites. What are your personal favorites? Like, comment, and sub if you enjoyed!
    By the way, you can totally disregard the Hurricane comments, I recorded this yesterday and Matthew actually went east and missed us, thank god because it was on path to hit us directly as a category 4. That would`ve probably been it for this channel.

    Here are my favorite What ifs:
    - What if Jordan did not retire in 1993.
    - What if Grant Hill never injured his left ankle.
    - What if Denver got 1st overall draft pick in 2003. They had the same record and probability as Cleveland.
    - What if Magic never got HIV. Seriously, he retired immediately after he found out and was only 31. Looking back Magic even says he would never had retired early if he knew what he knows now.
    - What if the Chris Paul deal to Lakers was not vetoed. So close, How I wished the NBA did not own the Pelicans.
    - What if Harden never got traded. This one is still fresh and really could've pan out if Harden accepted the offer or Presti decided to pay the man.

  •  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video!! As a diehard Bulls fan from the early Jordan years, I can definitely say DRose not being healthy for the 2012 rematch against The Heatles was/is the biggest what-if in Bulls history followed by what-if MJ didn't retire in '93 and again in '98, do the Bulls win in '94 and '99 against the Rockets and Spurs? I say yes but I digress!
    My top 3 what-if's in league history though gotta be:
    - What if Magic Johnson didn't have to retire? Do the Blazers, Suns, Rockets, Sonics & Jazz each make the NBA finals in the years following his retirement if he never steps away?
    - What if Detroit drafted Carmelo Anthony instead of Darko
    - What if T-Mac never left Toronto and stayed to play with Vince Carter

    I think of David Robinson as a physical anomaly as well. The man was a physical monster. 7' 250 pounds, ATHLETIC, Strong and quick. He could outwork point guards. I just wish his leg never broke and his back wasn't bad. The man could've even had a more dominant career.
    Also, What if Barkley goes to the Jazz.... What if the Celtics draft Wilt... What if Magic doesn't test positive for HIV... What if Melo, not Bosh, goes to Miami, which was the original plan.

      @tokomaru6431 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dom2k he still would have been a dominant force probably even a sixth man of the year. I am rather biased due to being an avid Harden fan. In any case I still believe that it would have been a dynasty over at OKC as he might have been put into the starting line up.

      @Dom2k16  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Only reason I think not, its not because his talent, but because he needs a lot of shots and the ball a lot to be effective, just would`ve been hard with the other two. But 6th man of the year definitely

    2) What if Melo had waited until the end of the season to go to New York instead of killing their salary cap and roster being traded? Bron and Wade to New York instead of Bron and Bosh to Miami?
    3) What if Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf never protested the National Anthem?

    2. What if Cleveland made the trade for STAT
    3. What if Charles Barkley was traded to the Lakers like he was supposed to be
    4. What if Kobe was traded to the Bulls
    5. What if Scottie Pippen was traded (had many contract disputes and was almost traded for Shawn Kemp, and later on for T-MAC)

      ***** you're talking about 22 year old derrick rose? cuz i'm hypothetically speaking, that if rose wasn't plagued with injuries so early in his career i have no doubt in my mind that he would have developed into a more consistent shooter, possibly even into an elite defender like butler under coach thibs. just another food for thought, the clips i watched from 2011 ECF seemed like lebron and miami couldn't stop rose from driving down the lane, but thats just my opinion..
