    Raptors should also have kept Billups. With Billups coming into his own along with Mcgrady, that would have been a dynamic trio. Billups, Carter, McGrady, Oakley/Willis, Davis/Wallace. That is a pretty solid team.

      +TheTupacHologram Doesnt even make sense, Billups wasnt even Billups until after Denver. He was erratic and a tweener, going to Detroit and playing on that team made a huge difference.

    I'm from Toronto and I've had this conversation a million times. Great vid. Gotta say, when Vince was in full flight we would buy the $10 cheap seats at the top of the arena with what little cash would could scrounge to as many games as we could. There was no better place to be in the world, he was electric!

  • @Homemadegameguru
    @Homemadegameguru 8 ปีที่แล้ว +42

    I've always believed that if McGrady stayed in Toronto with Carter and given time to elevate his game and players like Morris Peterson and Marcus Camby stayed, we would have a championship contenting team. Toronto has had a good track record making draft picks (in my opinion) and I believe they would have picked players to compliment their superstars.

      Camby was a bust but Carter t Mac Christie Oakley and Davis with Alvin mo pete Kevin Willis and either dee brown or bogues as a 10 th man and Dell curry would have been special to watch.l in a weak east...no way anyone beats them 4 out of 7 for 3 years...minimum....they would have been better than any east team from 01-03 record wise and playoffs wise...t mac and carter were both legit 25 5 and 5 players by 2001...

    Honestly if T-Mac never left.. Vince would of never left.
    Those 2 could of taken out the Lakers any day and bring home a championship.
    on top of that Rob Babcock was one of the worst GMs in NBA history that also set the franchise years back.

      People forget how much of a beast AD was, he dominated Ben Wallace in the playoffs the year they lost to the Sixers in the conference finals.
      TMac, Vince, and Christie gave them so much depth and versatility in the back court, with Christie, AD, and Oak giving them a defensive focus. TMAc was becoming a quicker more athletic Pippen with an MJ mentality. He was also very good defensively with great instincts, quickness, and length.

    • @MrCubFan415
      @MrCubFan415 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not as bad as Doc Rivers losing the chance to land Tim Duncan due to Doc’s refusal to let Tim’s family fly with the team to some games. Seriously, look it up. The Magic could have had T-Mac, Grant Hill, AND Tim Duncan on the team

      I’m a huge raptors fan and trust me I would love to see that Raptors team together for 10 years but I know planet could you say that they definitely would take the Lakers out the only thing I could beat the Lakers was the Lakers those Laker teams were some of the best of it right up there with the bulls and the Celtics and I hated the Lakers back then I still do but we have nothing to deal with Shaq Shaquille O’Neal is probably top three most dominant players of all time

    I almost shed a tear, BEAUTIFUL!!!
    You have to adjust one line of thinking that you do, e.g. in such an example:
    "San Antonio shut down Vince completely that year [in reality], but this time [in 'what if'] Toronto would also have McGrady".
    If Toronto had both Vince and Tracy, then San Antonio couldn't have focused on only one of them - like they did on Vince - to shut him down. So Toronto would've been even more better off by not having only one team leader/scorer for the opponents to focus on, but two.

      +Trey Walker Raptors had a chance to go the finals in 2001, but they failed against the Sixers and lost in 7 games. Sixers went on to beat the Bucks in 5 in the ECF and go to the finals against the Lakers winning the 1st game and Lakers winning the rest. If Raps past the Sixers, they would've for sure beat the Bucks and at least make it to the finals. Plus, say if TMac was how he was today back then.. He would've taken a smaller salary and Toronto attracts Free Agents and could've been champs. They could've faced the Nets in the ECF in 2003 and beat the Lakers after cheating the Kings with that BS. Anyway, Toronto could've beat Detroit and win at least one ring.

    Man I was a big Grant Hill fan so seeing him and my 2nd favorite player TMac going to the same time was like the best thing ever to me at that time made me drop my Pistons flag and raise a Magic flag overnight. So sad they never really got to play with each other due to Hill's injuries but watching TMac become a superstar was great. This what if raises a lot of other what if in itself because of the total outcome of the NBA with the TMac Magic singing. Great video all around.

    They would not have won a championship. Tmac would have never developed into the offensive force he became in orlando had he stayed in Toronto. Plus Toronto did not have the big men necessary to compete against L.A or San Antonio. The real what if is "would a healthy grant hill & tmac had won a title in Orlando?" My answer is yes! Hill was superior to VC in every way except for dunking & 3's. Hill's deadly mid range game, defense, play making and especially his rebounding along with his selfless play would have allowed tmac to develop into an even greater overall player.

    • @Kingstyles05
      @Kingstyles05 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      timsmith1033 That scenario wouldn't have been able to compare to this one. Vince Carter was already a selfless player that averaged over 5 assists per game at that point in his career as a career average. He believed in team first which is why he was hurt when TMac left. As great as Hill was Carter had the ability to take a backseat if McGrady rose above him or elevate his game even more because the help would've made him more efficient. Either way it goes that scenario helps TMac no more than this one does because Orlando wouldn't have been any better with TMac than the Raptors would've.

      @Airplane299 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      That woulda been nasty but I don't think AI and T Mac would win their scoring titles obviously due to shared ball time. Part of the reason T Mac left Toronto anyways was to be star on a team that didn't have one as well, and that obviously gets defeated if he goes to Philadelphia with AI.

    • @maryakopyan3224
      @maryakopyan3224 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Their games don't mesh at all; I'd be similar to Stackhouse & AI, only worst. TMac would be looking for the nearest door out as Stackhouse did after 1 season, only w/ TMac I'd be after their very 1st possession together since he's Stackhouse on steroids + Iverson's ego & selfishness never stopped growing after his rookie campaign. Plus, the Sixers never had any sort of serious chance for TMac, and they would've been beyond stupid to try an pair those 2 perimeter ball-stopping/ball-dominating volume-shooting iso-wings together if they did. You're bringing up something that never had a chance in hell of happening. The what ifs are not about random scenarios. They're about scenarios that would've happened had so & so just made a different decision, different turn, different detour in their journey, or some injury not have happened, making the if part of it a guesstimate as to what would've resulted differently.

    • @willk008
      @willk008 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Arsen Akopyan Completely wrong! This is how we use to think oh every star should have their own team, WRONG! It's clear when Lebron and Wade, Westbrook and Durant, Steph and Klay and etc. To many egos back then, Ai, Tmac, Vince even Kobe after Shaq and he realized you can't win alone.

    • @maryakopyan3224
      @maryakopyan3224 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      You totally missed my point. You need superstars who's game's fit great together. TMac's & AIs do not. Jordan's & Pippen's did. Bird's, Parish's & McHale's did. Shaq's & Wade's did (they won a title together 4-years after Shaq & Kobe no longer could, when Shaq was past his prime). Shaq's & Kobe's did not (they won 3 cause the NBA was so weak & Phil Jackson's a goat coach). Magic's, Worthy's & Kareem's did. Westbrook's & Durant's did not, despite making the Finals. Stockton's & Malone's did (no one wanted to play in Utah, yet they still almost won it all despite a talent-less roster around them cause they fit each other's games & personalities so beautifully). Cousy's & Russell's did. Wade & Bosh actually fit each other way better than Wade & Lebron or Lebron & Bosh, even though Lebron's the game's best player. Every superstar needs help from another superstar around them to win much, yes. That I agree w/ you on, but just any random superstar does not blend well w/ just any other superstar. Barkley's & Olajuwon do not fit well together, cause Olajuwon playing inside takes away Barkley's space to maneuver down on the pinch post to elbow, all the way down to short corner on isos that Barkley likes. Barkley does much better w/ an explosive point guard running the floor w/ him, who also looks to feed him religiously in the half court sets, like Kevin Johnson. You also can't just look at who won rings and who didn't either, cause there are 30 teams in the NBA, and any of a number of circumstances to account for a certain team winning it all to not. You have to look at just how they play together, then try an assemble a collection of role players as well that play well off of your superstars, whose' games compliment your superstars also. I'd be great to have 10 mega superstars on the same team together, but their games have to compliment each other. Chris Paul's & DeMarcus Cousins' I feel would, but not DeMarcus Cousins' & Dwight Howard's so much, unless you've got an organic point guard like a Chris Paul to feed the both of them the ball a ton. FYI: Players today in general are more egotistical than they were back in day in general. Stockton & Malone could be husband & wife in an alternate universe, but even other gifted pairings like Payton & Kemp, Mourning & Hardaway, Isiah & Dumars, Mark Price & Brad Daugherty, Larry Johnson & Muggsy Bogues, Mookie Blaylock & Kevin Willis, Avery Johnson & David Robinson, Pippen & Jordan and so on, so embraced playing w/ each other for long periods of time until at least one of them got old, badly injured, retired or was just stupidly dealt away to another team. But it's not 2 ball stoppers and no bench that make a good team. It's superstars where usually (not always), one players way bigger than the other, while the other's much smaller than the other, and their greatest strengths lie in the same offensive set, whether I'd be the pick-&-role, triangle, inside-out offense, motion, triple post offense, fast break (but usually where one's more of the distributor while the other's more of the finisher). 2 iso gunners from the wing in the same offense like an AI & TMac is not complimentary. If both guys take 30 shots a game, everybody else might as well just sit on the sidelines, just watching those 2 go 2-on-5 every time down the court, cause there are no shots left for anybody else, nor do they need picks, and you've got no reason to cut off of the pick, or run any splits, cause the ball just disappears.

    • @willk008
      @willk008 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Arsen Akopyan Superstars can play together bottom line. I don't care what two, they'll figure it out. You named 1 instance that didn't work and they were at the end of their careers. Thats just the way it was. Bird didn't wanna play with Magic, Jordan didn't wanna play with Reggie but had they been on teams they would've figured it out and would've played great together. In hind sight a lot of superstars had the chance to play together and because x needs the ball to score and so does y they don't mesh, that thinking ruined what could've been. And in that case what superstar other than a big would you pair with Russell Westbrook?
