@@bhavdeol5598 Well that depends. Which Shaq are we talking about? Big Shaq Mouse? Hollywood Shaq? Shaqtus? The Big Lucky charm? Or Cleveland Shaq? Lol
Not a guarantee by any stretch. They needed so much luck to beat the Blazers coming off a storybook 67win season in 00', when Shaq was at his absolute apex. Kobe also played the absolute best defense of his career that year, and was relatively unselfish. They also had a legitimate 3rd wheel that year in Glen Rice; something they lacked after. They won 2 more titles after that against somewhat lesser competition, and the one against Sacramento in 02' was even more lucky than the one against Portland in 00'. But then the competition was heating up, Shaq was getting old, Kobe was getting really selfish, so I'd say only if they would've been able to add a 3rd relatively young dynamic piece. I don't know where they were with their salary cap situation?
So a lot of people requested the Suns video after I mentioned it... So here it is. Take a look and tell me what you think! th-cam.com/video/rLxKVoxtbgM/w-d-xo.html
+Mike Korzemba Just curious as to why the Warriors from '67 to '75 didn't make the list. In the '65 season, the Warriors were on pace for dead last in the league even before trading Wilt. That led the Warriors to drafting Rick Barry, so had Wilt never left, Rick would've joined the Warriors regardless of whether Wilt stays or not. In '67, Wilt led his Sixers to a championship against Rick Barry's Warriors. Rick then decided to sit out the following season so he could join the ABA, which led to the Warriors falling off the map yet again. In '69, Rick Barry led the Oakland Oaks to the ABA championship and Wilt sat on the Lakers bench in the final minutes of game 7 thanks to an injury and the world's dumbest coach. In '72, Rick just lost in the ABA finals to the Pacers, the only team that I can would actually consider a dynasty in the 70s. Meanwhile, Wilt won the NBA finals with the Lakers that year. We know Wilt also made the finals in '70 and '73 and that Rick Barry rejoined the Warriors and won the finals in '75. I'm not sure the Warriors would still win in '75, but I'd be pretty confident that had Wilt and Rick stayed with the Warriors, you're guaranteed championships in '67, '69, and '72 in my opinion and I think it's fair to say the Warriors probably still win in '75 as well.
+Mike Korzemba forgot about the jazz with malone and stockton... arguably two of the best players at their positions in NBA history who never won a championship and made it to the NBA finals in back to back years
U should've put if Tracy mcgrady didn't leave the raptors! Tracy mcgrady and Vince Carter as superstars, great veteran role players, even Kobe said the would've won an NBA championship at least
+iBlackula Yeah after that era Vince Carter's prime would be gone but Raptors would have Bosh, Lowry and DeRozan. So Raptors better not loose DeRozan another Star would come in the next era. lool #Potential
DreDaDon__ Doc did play with the Atlanta Hawks for a game or two during the 1972 preseason before a court ruling said that the Virginia Squires still held his rights, so he went back to the ABA. I think there had been an earlier ruling that said that the Bucks held his rights and the Bucks traded his rights to the Hawks, so that's why he was there.
The Sonics could've had Scottie Pippen, Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, Detlef Schrempf, Hersey Hawkins, and Nate McMillan all on the same team in 95-96 if they didn't trade away Pippen
Can't be mad. Never know if that would've worked out, either. I wasn't old enough yet to know it in '86, but I'm sure people then thought that team staying together was a sure thing, too. No telling whether Olajuwon, Jordan, and Drexler could do it. Probably. Almost certainly. But we still got two championships, back to back, so I'm not too concerned with how it turned out. It made me a lifelong Rockets fan the way it happened, so.
My Blazers could've had a dynasty if it weren't for injuries. Brandon Roy was a top SG, LMA was rounding into a good PF, and Greg Oden, if healthy could've been a solid center. Having pieces like Camby, Andre Miller, Batum, Wes Matthews, Rudy Fernandez, Gerald Wallace, we could've contended for a while, if injuries didn't happen as they did.
You forgot the sacramento kings. In 2002 they were screwed by the Lakers, and then next year in the semifinals they lost chris webber to an injury. They coudve won more titles after that.
Kyle Morgan remember they had that cheating ass ref and that game where all thos bullshit calls anybody who watches that game knows they got cheated and if u don't see it then u just a straight ass hater. Straight up truth no bullshit!!!!!!
It's hard to say because of the return of Chicago to dominance. Orlando lost to Chicago in the 1996 ECF, so it would've been difficult for Orlando to be a dynasty even if Shaq stayed. Even after the Bulls' run ended, we still don't know whether the Magic would've been headed for greatness.
I think one more above-average player and Sir Charles´ Suns could be here too. I really miss Orlando Magic with Penny and Shaq. It was pure pleasure to watch them play.
+Patrick Ramos Steve Nash got hurt in the first game of the season or sth like that and he was out for a third of a season. Howard was playing but he was still recovering from the back surgery. They were slow and bad defensively and on top of that they were horribly coached by D Antoni who wanted to run and gun and refused to adapt to the roster he had.
Wow Mike, I was your 2000 something sub just a few months ago. It's crazy to see how fast your channel has grown. Keep it up man, you're definitely my favorite 2k youtuber and I don't even know if I like these kids of videos just as much if I like your 2k videos. All of your videos are great man, good luck in the future, I'll be subscribed.
I lived through the Penny-Shaq era in Orlando as a season ticket holder. My heart still aches 20 years later. They could have won so much. Instead won nothing.
+Axl jonsson If not for Samaki Walker's after-the-buzzer halfcourt heave they definitely threepeat from 2002-04 (2004 is a 70-win season) and win at least two more titles after that.
the 98-00 Portland "JailBlazer" has Sabonis, Brian Grant, Rasheed Wallace, Steve Smith, Scottie Pippen for 2 years, Bonzi Wells, Ruben Patterson, Zach Randolph, and an 18 year old Jermaine O'Neal
What if the Jazz had never traded Adrian Dantley to the Pistons? Malone, Dantley, Stockton, and Mark Eaton on one team. Could've gone to the Western Conference Finals and given the Lakers a run for their money.
The-Campfire-Dispatch I always thought that that they went back to back in the finals only because Larry Bird hurt his back and wasn't the same Larry Bird anymore. The Celtics were no longer a worthy foe, the Bulls took their place.
you forgot the nowitzki Era mavericks. Were up 2-0 in 06 finals, then Wade happened. Went 67-15 the next, then choked in round 1. Won it all 11, then threw it all away the following summer chasing a pipe dream.
if shaq and penny won 3 championships, that means shaq wouldve had alot more than three. 3 from orlando 3 from L.A. 2 from the heat and i dont know how many (maybe 1) from the celtics.
If the Magic won Championships he would have never went to LA and this changing everything that happened after he left. Orlando woukd have some Championships though that's for sure
The Milwaukee Bucks during the 1980s. Kept running into the 76ers, Celtics in the playoffs usually in the ECFs. 76ers and Celtics would usually go on to win the NBA Finals. The Bucks should've won at least one title during that decade. Strong defensive team. They do have one in 1971, winning the NBA title, but with completely different players.
Yeah but they could have had more even before they won those 2 championships. Even with Sampson's injury they could have been contenders long before 1993. In 1986 they were thought of the same way the Magic were thought of in 1995 - the team of the future. But they wouldn't get back to the Finals for another 8 years and Olajuwon would be the only same player from that 1986 team.
The 93-94, 94-95 Seattle Supersonics should be added. They were better than the Rockets, Knicks, and Magic of those years and those teams couldn't beat them. Kenny Smith always says the Rockets only won the 1994 and 95 championships because they didn't have to play the Sonics. Jordan was gone, but the Sonics had internal squabbles.
Nice list, Mike! I would've liked an honorable mention of the Toronto Raptors. I'm not 100% percent sure, but if they weren't traded off, couldn't Damon Stoudamire, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Marcus Camby have played together in one team?
nah they are very different people. shaq is very talented and is also very egotistical. kobe is very serious and he has the bigger ego. he felt that everything needed to run through him
Sacramento Kings have been forgotten 1999 - 2003, especially Playoffs 2002. Orlando Magic is wrong in that video, Orlando management messed it up, Shaq and Penny were fine. Cheers. Plus: I doubt that Phoenix was close to winning the West at all. Running into San Antonio or Dallas was a problem for 7 seconds or less Mike D'Antoni. Still though, they were pretty much fun to watch - but the picks you address here were picking the right sleepers back in those days. They were not so clearly like Melo. I agree on Melo being better in Detroit (or Wade) this was a clear mistake. Still though, championships wouldn't been secure. Boston came up in 2008, San Antonio, Dallas were massive forces as well. I think Detroit should have won 1 or 2 championships more in the 80ies which is a shame they lost on 0.1 in the Garden to Bird and Isiah Thomas being injured in 1988 in game 6 leading that game in the finals against the Lakers being up 3-2......this is a dynasty which should get much more credit for being unlucky.
i would include the mid-90s Sonics. GP and Kemp won 64 the same year that the Bulls won 72. But they pissed off Kemp (don't remember why) traded him to Cleveland where he became fat and addicted to drugs. Meanwhile the Sonics got Vin Baker, who became an alcoholic
In Houston's defense, they got their championships later on. Yet, I still see how it could've worked out although I read they felt the NBA didn't want them to interfere with the Lakers-Celtics finals.
Most likely yes, given that Bird says he would've retired early if Bias had lived. His back was torturing him. Who knows, maybe they would've ended up in the Bulls roster as well. The Celtics had terrible management during the 90s.
You missed the mid 70's Warriors, whose owner was too cheap to pay Jamal Wilkes and Gus Williams (who left as free agents and went on to win championships with their new teams), choosing to pay Phil Smith to pair with Rick Barry instead. Phil was a star in the making (even made two All NBA teams), but he had a bad injury not too long after signing his deal, and was never the same. They also had a young Robert Parish, but traded him and the #3 pick (which the Celtics used for McHale) in exchange for the #1 pick (Joe Barry Carrol), who never became as good as other of these guys. Just imagine Gus Williams, Phil Smith, Jamal Wilkes, Rick Barry, Robert Parish, and Kevin McHale all on the same team... the Warriors, by the way, won a title with Barry, as well as Wilkes and Smith as rookies, and added Williams and Parish over the next couple of seasons before the team began to be broken apart by their cheapskate owner at the time. A second Warrior debacle occurred about 15 years later after they drafted Chris Webber to go along with Chris Mullin, Tim Hardaway, Latrell Sprewell, and Billy Owens. Hardaway injured his knee to begin the season , but they signed Avery Johnson and went 50-32, before bowing out to Phoenix in the first round of the playoffs. They were due to get Hardaway back the following year, but then the team blew up over the Summer, when Webber forced a trade
My (note, MY!) top 10 players are (and in order): 1. MJ, of course 2. Kobe 3. Larry Bird 4. LeBron James 5. Stephen Curry 6. Chris Paul 7. Allen Iverson 8. Julius Erving 9. Russell Westbrook and 10. Kevin Durant. Honorable mentions: Scottie Pippen, Shaq, Isiah Thomas (Pistons One), James Harden, Hakeem Olajuwon, Yao Ming, Wilt Chamberlain, Patrick Ewing, and Dennis Rodman.
Now, I know I can't watch any NBA videos with mentioning the Mavs, but I think they could've been on this list too. Had we not been too cheap and resigned Nash we would have had the MVP on our team three years in a row (Nash won i twice immediately followed by Dirk getting the MVP the next year in 2007). Also, in 2006, with Nash the MVP on the Suns, the Mavericks advanced past them in the West to play, and eventually lose, to the Heat in FINALS. The next year, when Dirk won the MVP, the Mavs had one of the greatest seasons in the history of the league by winning 60 games. Although easily the number one seed, they lost in the first round to a team they couldn't matchup against in Golden State. They finally won ONE Championship in 2010-2011 but I've always thought they had the potential to do way more during the 11 or 12 year streak of them making the playoffs starting in 2000-2001 and making it in each year until the 2012-2013 season. Sure, blame it on Dirk who "shrunk in the playoffs blah blah blah.." but he didn't have much help. Had we kept Nash maybe things would have been easier for Dirk. Who by the way, basically won the Mavs our Championship by himself and NOT A SINGLE OTHER ALL STAR against the Heat's 3 superstars. His years weren't wasted. He is under appreciated and under valued in every town across America but in Dallas he is, and will always remain, the legend he deserves to be.
Pink Ricky The Grizzlies if they would've gotten the 1st pick, their pick would've been theirs. They would've picked LeBron and possibly could've won a few championships.
My apologies, but the best dynasty goes to the Boston Celtics of the late 50's through the 60's. Bill Russell led this team to 11 titles in 13 seasons, including 8 in a row. That was domination, pure and simple. This is playing against talented teams (the Lakers had superstars Jerry West and Elgin Baylor, and the NY Knicks had Walt Frazier and Willis Reed with future HOFer Cazzie Russell coming off the bench, for instance), legendary coaches (Butch Van Breda Kolff, Red Holtzman, for examples) and arguably the most dominant center to play the game in Wilt Chamberlain. Virtually every night, Boston played with the biggest target on their backs in history of any modern sport. No Lakers team ever matched this record, and Kobe's weren't going to. Jordan's bulls didn't do it. As for the Orlando Magic, the reason they lost in the 1995 finals was zero contribution off the bench and a Rockets team that played like one. You might want to correct your history.
I'm going to be in defense of the thunder. It was a terrible trade, but Westbrook and Durant have become twice the players they were 4 years ago from this point. And. Sam Presti never stops making good moves. Enes Kanter and Steven Adams and serge ibaka are the frontcourt that okc needed. Making okc guard-heavy and thinning out the frontcourt may not have worked in their favor. It looks good on 2k and on paper to have three superstar ballhandlers together, but I don't know how well it wouldve actually worked out. Any spurs comparisons are wrong because the spurs had parker (a point guard), duncan (dominant power forward/center) and ginobili. Kevin Durant does not give to his team what Duncan gave to the spurs in his 20's and early 30's.
Put some respect on the 2007 to 2012 Celtics. They should have won 2, at least. KG hurt in 09, Perkins going down before Game 7 in 10,… could have had a 3 peat against the Lakers if they stayed healthy and kept their team together
You should include these teams on the list: 1968-73 Lakers Larry Bird + Len Bias Celtics 70's Celtics 2008-2013 Celtics Tmac/Yao Rockets Roy/Aldridge/Oden Blazers
addition to honorable mentions 2011 mavs what if chandler kept also late 2000s cavs what if bron did not made an issue with delonte and his mom also dynasty gsw could have been 4 peat if draymond did not suspend game 5 1960s sixers what if wilt did not trade also included also the 1980s bucks what if they did not have injuries or drug issues 1998 lakers also what if kobe have limited his shots and rely on either shaq van exel or eddie jones and also if they kept divac they could have their own twin towers. 1976 gsw what if barry did make shots on 2nd half of wcf g7 vs suns.
Larry Bird has always said he thought the 1984 Lakers were a better team than the Celtics that year. Their unstoppable 1989 team lost both Byron Scott and James Worthy to injury just prior to the finals. Point taken on the Rockets--the 1986 team was scary good.
I was old enough to remember Penny and Shaq and they won so easy. But Shaq and kobe only won 3 rings together yet it is still considered an underachievement!!. Kobe would have had at least 7 rings, yup one more than Jordan. And we would see the greatest of all time retire this week. Instead his game got blacked out for the Warriors 73 game record. Huhh???

If Orlando kept shaq for a few years they would eventually get tmac too. Penny, Tmac, and Shaq. Sounds like a dynasty to me

+Agentbacon13 if Kings win in 2002 Webber never tears his meniscus and they win 5+ titles including a threepeat from 2002-04.
the 98-00 Portland "JailBlazer" has Sabonis, Brian Grant, Rasheed Wallace, Steve Smith, Scottie Pippen for 2 years, Bonzi Wells, Ruben Patterson, Zach Randolph, and an 18 year old Jermaine O'Neal
Also Stacey Augmon. Arguably the deepest team in NBA history.
What if the Jazz had never traded Adrian Dantley to the Pistons? Malone, Dantley, Stockton, and Mark Eaton on one team. Could've gone to the Western Conference Finals and given the Lakers a run for their money.
And the Pistons didn't win their title until they got rid of Dantley who was locker room poison.
The-Campfire-Dispatch I always thought that that they went back to back in the finals only because Larry Bird hurt his back and wasn't the same Larry Bird anymore. The Celtics were no longer a worthy foe, the Bulls took their place.
Shaq and healthy Penny could've won 3 or more championships
you forgot the nowitzki Era mavericks. Were up 2-0 in 06 finals, then Wade happened. Went 67-15 the next, then choked in round 1. Won it all 11, then threw it all away the following summer chasing a pipe dream.
The Toronto Raptors 99-00
With Vince, Tracy and later Bosh, they could have won the championship
+Internet Genius AND MY BOY Mugsy goat
I Think McGrady Would've Been A Perfect Mentor To Bosh
Internet Genius they would have the 4th pick in the draft if they had Vince and T-Mac so no Bosh

the 2002 kings should've won if it wasn't rigged
@@eduardopedro02 there was poor calls in that series, the nba acknowledged it. but regardless kings at best were a one hit wonder
And Pistons vs Spurs was rigged too
Congratulations on 50k
+Sneezy Thank you!
+Mike Korzemba you should make what if kawhi went to pacers instead being traded
+Coltsfan 2016vlogs yeah
Please blink.
if shaq and penny won 3 championships, that means shaq wouldve had alot more than three. 3 from orlando 3 from L.A. 2 from the heat and i dont know how many (maybe 1) from the celtics.
I hated Shaq when he left the Magic. 🙄
If the Magic won Championships he would have never went to LA and this changing everything that happened after he left. Orlando woukd have some Championships though that's for sure
Don't forget that the suns also had Quentin Richardson
Just guessing the Knicks are gonna be on here, ya know the 90s Knicks
NOPE
They had plenty of chances.
+jp3813 yeah
+Freddy Guarino I've been a Knicks fan since 1994. I feel the same way. In my opion, they were a better team than the Orlando Magic.
+Luke Moloney but they should have they had plenty of chances and should have beat the rockets up 3-2 in the series .
70's bullets should've won more than one. Injury always help miss ring
Can you do a video on if Mark Cuban would've kept most of the 2011 Mavs together?
+Martin Stennis or the 2003 Mavs for that matter
Martin Stennis What if the mavs selected Giannis
what if they dont give serge to okc
The Milwaukee Bucks during the 1980s. Kept running into the 76ers, Celtics in the playoffs usually in the ECFs. 76ers and Celtics would usually go on to win the NBA Finals.
The Bucks should've won at least one title during that decade. Strong defensive team. They do have one in 1971, winning the NBA title, but with completely different players.
You should do a "what if harden was never traded" scenario video
and traded ibaka?
Bill Walton's feet were too fragile. They would not have done any different.
as soon as i read the title i thought chokelahoma city
I like that. That's good. I'm using it.

Maybe cause that’s the fucking thumbnail
@@okcfan171 OKC did choke. multiple times
the 2002 kings should have been on here.
4:30 - that rockets team with Hakeem did win 2 championships!
Yeah but they could have had more even before they won those 2 championships. Even with Sampson's injury they could have been contenders long before 1993. In 1986 they were thought of the same way the Magic were thought of in 1995 - the team of the future. But they wouldn't get back to the Finals for another 8 years and Olajuwon would be the only same player from that 1986 team.
No, the 86 Rockets team did not win the title in 93&94....
@mike .... there's no UTAH JAZZ in the list!!!???
i am new to basketball, but utah jazz should be here, right??
Yes.
This guy in the video is crazy. jaja!
2012 thunder only because the gm traded harden
okc coulda have had 3 of the top 5 players this season
I feel the NJ Nets should have been on this list or make a video on these guys
The 93-94, 94-95 Seattle Supersonics should be added. They were better than the Rockets, Knicks, and Magic of those years and those teams couldn't beat them. Kenny Smith always says the Rockets only won the 1994 and 95 championships because they didn't have to play the Sonics. Jordan was gone, but the Sonics had internal squabbles.
Yeah the Sonics sure did get in their own way.
also the early 90s blazers.
Still to this day I'm haunted by Nick Anderson's missed free throws
cleveland lmao lmao
+Im Dewy not really they got there king back though
They didn't screw up anything like these teams. The Warriors are just too good.
+Eliseo Aleman No what if kyrie n k love didnt get hurt last season, Warriors would had never won
+Eliseo Aleman Yeah Cleaveland had their key players injured so they were not playing at their maximum.
+jayslay1000 That garbage Myth if the Cavs were healthy was exposed when the Warriors beat their healthy squad by 30
What about the Houston Rockets team with Tracy McGrady & Yao Ming and the Orlando Magic team with Tracy McGrady?
Congrats on 50k Mike you deserve all of it
+Detective K and his What if are amazing
Houston did win multiple. They won back to back.
what about raptors when they had vince/t mac, played right to also gets bosh.
Nice list, Mike! I would've liked an honorable mention of the Toronto Raptors. I'm not 100% percent sure, but if they weren't traded off, couldn't Damon Stoudamire, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Marcus Camby have played together in one team?
what about the Nets with VC, kidd, Jefferson, van horn, kittles, and martin...they should have held on to those guys
Everybody leaves out the SACRAMENTO KINGS (2002)
The Fab 5 should definitely be on there
I feel like shaq was very egotistical wanting to take over every team he was a part of
nah they are very different people. shaq is very talented and is also very egotistical. kobe is very serious and he has the bigger ego. he felt that everything needed to run through him
Shaq was probably the most dominant player I've seen. He did dictate the NBA for years
What about 2000 raptors? Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady, scary guard combo
That guy should be the host of ancient aliens
Sacramento Kings have been forgotten 1999 - 2003, especially Playoffs 2002. Orlando Magic is wrong in that video, Orlando management messed it up, Shaq and Penny were fine. Cheers.
Plus: I doubt that Phoenix was close to winning the West at all. Running into San Antonio or Dallas was a problem for 7 seconds or less Mike D'Antoni. Still though, they were pretty much fun to watch - but the picks you address here were picking the right sleepers back in those days. They were not so clearly like Melo. I agree on Melo being better in Detroit (or Wade) this was a clear mistake. Still though, championships wouldn't been secure. Boston came up in 2008, San Antonio, Dallas were massive forces as well. I think Detroit should have won 1 or 2 championships more in the 80ies which is a shame they lost on 0.1 in the Garden to Bird and Isiah Thomas being injured in 1988 in game 6 leading that game in the finals against the Lakers being up 3-2......this is a dynasty which should get much more credit for being unlucky.
or maybe your hair? lmao
i would include the mid-90s Sonics. GP and Kemp won 64 the same year that the Bulls won 72. But they pissed off Kemp (don't remember why) traded him to Cleveland where he became fat and addicted to drugs. Meanwhile the Sonics got Vin Baker, who became an alcoholic

Mike what's up with the hair in this vid. lol Great content as always.
Did you really put the lakers instead of kings
In Houston's defense, they got their championships later on. Yet, I still see how it could've worked out although I read they felt the NBA didn't want them to interfere with the Lakers-Celtics finals.
Well, they interfered twice. Only 5 teams entered the Finals in the 80s, Lakers, C's, Pistons, 76ers, Rockets
What if both Leonard Bias and Reggie Lewis were alive through out their
career? Are there still gonna be a Bulls dynasty in the 90s?
Most likely yes, given that Bird says he would've retired early if Bias had lived. His back was torturing him. Who knows, maybe they would've ended up in the Bulls roster as well. The Celtics had terrible management during the 90s.
You missed the mid 70's Warriors, whose owner was too cheap to pay Jamal Wilkes and Gus Williams (who left as free agents and went on to win championships with their new teams), choosing to pay Phil Smith to pair with Rick Barry instead. Phil was a star in the making (even made two All NBA teams), but he had a bad injury not too long after signing his deal, and was never the same. They also had a young Robert Parish, but traded him and the #3 pick (which the Celtics used for McHale) in exchange for the #1 pick (Joe Barry Carrol), who never became as good as other of these guys.
Just imagine Gus Williams, Phil Smith, Jamal Wilkes, Rick Barry, Robert Parish, and Kevin McHale all on the same team... the Warriors, by the way, won a title with Barry, as well as Wilkes and Smith as rookies, and added Williams and Parish over the next couple of seasons before the team began to be broken apart by their cheapskate owner at the time.
A second Warrior debacle occurred about 15 years later after they drafted Chris Webber to go along with Chris Mullin, Tim Hardaway, Latrell Sprewell, and Billy Owens. Hardaway injured his knee to begin the season , but they signed Avery Johnson and went 50-32, before bowing out to Phoenix in the first round of the playoffs. They were due to get Hardaway back the following year, but then the team blew up over the Summer, when Webber forced a trade

My (note, MY!) top 10 players are (and in order): 1. MJ, of course 2. Kobe 3. Larry Bird 4. LeBron James 5. Stephen Curry 6. Chris Paul 7. Allen Iverson 8. Julius Erving 9. Russell Westbrook and 10. Kevin Durant. Honorable mentions: Scottie Pippen, Shaq, Isiah Thomas (Pistons One), James Harden, Hakeem Olajuwon, Yao Ming, Wilt Chamberlain, Patrick Ewing, and Dennis Rodman.
80s bucks
Now, I know I can't watch any NBA videos with mentioning the Mavs, but I think they could've been on this list too. Had we not been too cheap and resigned Nash we would have had the MVP on our team three years in a row (Nash won i twice immediately followed by Dirk getting the MVP the next year in 2007). Also, in 2006, with Nash the MVP on the Suns, the Mavericks advanced past them in the West to play, and eventually lose, to the Heat in FINALS. The next year, when Dirk won the MVP, the Mavs had one of the greatest seasons in the history of the league by winning 60 games. Although easily the number one seed, they lost in the first round to a team they couldn't matchup against in Golden State. They finally won ONE Championship in 2010-2011 but I've always thought they had the potential to do way more during the 11 or 12 year streak of them making the playoffs starting in 2000-2001 and making it in each year until the 2012-2013 season. Sure, blame it on Dirk who "shrunk in the playoffs blah blah blah.." but he didn't have much help. Had we kept Nash maybe things would have been easier for Dirk. Who by the way, basically won the Mavs our Championship by himself and NOT A SINGLE OTHER ALL STAR against the Heat's 3 superstars. His years weren't wasted. He is under appreciated and under valued in every town across America but in Dallas he is, and will always remain, the legend he deserves to be.
What if the Grizzlies got the first pick in the 2003 draft and drafted LeBron James
Weak. That would of never happened
+Pink Ricky they had a chance
Dawson Vipers How their pick went to the Pistons not the Cavs
Pink Ricky Omg. I'm done.
Pink Ricky The Grizzlies if they would've gotten the 1st pick, their pick would've been theirs. They would've picked LeBron and possibly could've won a few championships.
i thought Sacramento Kings and New Jersey nets would be on the list
Nice hair
My apologies, but the best dynasty goes to the Boston Celtics of the late 50's through the 60's. Bill Russell led this team to 11 titles in 13 seasons, including 8 in a row. That was domination, pure and simple. This is playing against talented teams (the Lakers had superstars Jerry West and Elgin Baylor, and the NY Knicks had Walt Frazier and Willis Reed with future HOFer Cazzie Russell coming off the bench, for instance), legendary coaches (Butch Van Breda Kolff, Red Holtzman, for examples) and arguably the most dominant center to play the game in Wilt Chamberlain. Virtually every night, Boston played with the biggest target on their backs in history of any modern sport.
No Lakers team ever matched this record, and Kobe's weren't going to. Jordan's bulls didn't do it.
As for the Orlando Magic, the reason they lost in the 1995 finals was zero contribution off the bench and a Rockets team that played like one.
You might want to correct your history.
the 2012 bobcats
Had their owner managed to play.
I'm going to be in defense of the thunder. It was a terrible trade, but Westbrook and Durant have become twice the players they were 4 years ago from this point. And. Sam Presti never stops making good moves. Enes Kanter and Steven Adams and serge ibaka are the frontcourt that okc needed. Making okc guard-heavy and thinning out the frontcourt may not have worked in their favor. It looks good on 2k and on paper to have three superstar ballhandlers together, but I don't know how well it wouldve actually worked out. Any spurs comparisons are wrong because the spurs had parker (a point guard), duncan (dominant power forward/center) and ginobili. Kevin Durant does not give to his team what Duncan gave to the spurs in his 20's and early 30's.
Mike Korzemba is the most underrated sports channel in the media today
Put some respect on the 2007 to 2012 Celtics. They should have won 2, at least. KG hurt in 09, Perkins going down before Game 7 in 10,… could have had a 3 peat against the Lakers if they stayed healthy and kept their team together
You should include these teams on the list:
1968-73 Lakers
Larry Bird + Len Bias Celtics
70's Celtics
2008-2013 Celtics
Tmac/Yao Rockets
Roy/Aldridge/Oden Blazers
addition to honorable mentions 2011 mavs what if chandler kept
also late 2000s cavs what if bron did not made an issue with delonte and his mom
also dynasty gsw could have been 4 peat if draymond did not suspend game 5
1960s sixers what if wilt did not trade also
included also the 1980s bucks what if they did not have injuries or drug issues
1998 lakers also what if kobe have limited his shots and rely on either shaq van exel or eddie jones and also if they kept divac they could have their own twin towers.
1976 gsw what if barry did make shots on 2nd half of wcf g7 vs suns.
Can you do a video about the 6 nba hall of fame candidates for 2018?
Larry Bird has always said he thought the 1984 Lakers were a better team than the Celtics that year. Their unstoppable 1989 team lost both Byron Scott and James Worthy to injury just prior to the finals. Point taken on the Rockets--the 1986 team was scary good.
I was old enough to remember Penny and Shaq and they won so easy. But Shaq and kobe only won 3 rings together yet it is still considered an underachievement!!. Kobe would have had at least 7 rings, yup one more than Jordan. And we would see the greatest of all time retire this week. Instead his game got blacked out for the Warriors 73 game record. Huhh???
