Not to mention, if not for that injury against the Spurs, Steph would have never have signed for such a team friendly contract, which allowed the Warriors to retain Klay Thompson and eventually sign KD. Steph's injury might be the most significant NBA moment in the last 15 years.
Yep i remember his earlier years people thought he would just be a role player or a bust due to his ongoing ankle issues he has always had good potential to be an all star its just his earlier years kept leading to question marks that lead to the super team today
Steph is THE primary GS butterfly effect....Also, because of his ankles, he decided not to take a risk and signed for a 4yr/44m extension in 2012, which gave GS the cap space to sign KD in the 2016 offseason...
That intro was 4 minutes of pure adrenaline filled anticipation in seeing 'where is jxmy going with this'. The end result is always the same. pure genius.
@@terterman8585not really, the reason curry is so good at gsw is because he mixes well with the organization and his teammates there, defender sometimes are confused on who to guard, either klay or steph, which is what makes curry offball movements deadly, so if he did team up with giannis he wouldnt formed into the player he is today, another note is that if curry was in the bucks, it would have caused another butterfly effect in which they dont get middleton
@@Gem_Fanuga You say not really, but I say really, Steph and Giannis would be the perfect combination. We're not gonna pretend that Steph is only great because of the Warriors as an organization, have some respect for one of the game's greats. Also he is a great off ball player or distributor, besides being a great shooter, which complements Giannis perfectly
@@terterman8585 i aint disrespecting steph, im just saying that he wouldnt develop like what he is now if he wasnt at gsw, plus at the time if the trade happened, both giannis and curry would be rookies and would distrupt each others development which makes them less deadly, since the reason giannis was a dominant force scorer was because they had no players who could score so giannis had time to develop, same applies with curry, he wouldnt develop into a deadly 3 point marksman if the defenders only had one player to defend on the outside

The mistake was when the Rockets decided to not trade Ralph Sampson to the Blazers for Clyde Drexler. They also would have had the 3rd pick in the 1984 Draft. Guess who they would have picked? This is all stated in Hakeem’s autobiography.
As a Rockets fan this lowkey haunts me. Still got the back to back 94 and 95 tho. But I cannot imagine MJ being a Rocket and having the GOAT be a Houston icon
Crazy attention to detail. Showing footage of Joel at the beginning without ever showing his face until revealing his name just to add more build up, putting more focus on the crazy story. We all knew who it was, but little things like this are so good. Best bball vids in the game
Another absolute banger of a video. You do better videos than majority million dollar productions. The research, the music, the atmosphere, the editing, the evidence, the ability to keep every section of the video feeling just as important as the last. It’s amazing what happens in life and what it leads to.
fantastic intro segment for the Joel Embiid signing it feels safe to say that you've ascended past being a top basketball youtuber and into the echelon of top video essayist TH-camrs in general. I remember back when I first started getting into basketball, shortly after Kobe Bryant passed away. Your video on Giannis is why he's my favourite player right now (not beating the bandwagon allegations). And to see that intro segment, presented as if it was an emplemon or a lemino or a summoning salt. Im not sure what the crossover is between basketball fans and video essay enjoyers but I mean that as the highest compliment
There was almost a series of events that would have lead to Hakeem Olajuwon and Michael Jordan both playing for the Houston Rockets. Imagine that dynamic duo.
The rockets also was offered a trade for clyde drexler for ralph samspson but they declined it, but if they did we would have seen a trio containing mj, hakeem and drexler, although these three players are hall of famers, if they were on the same team hypothetically, they would be less deadly since they would interrupt each others development
Jxm simply upgraded his content from a sports basketball product to an educational material. If students cannot manage to understand the butterfly effect, this should be demonstrated by a teacher in the classroom instead of the standard lesson served. just a little help: When we interpret the probabilities of influencing a condition we do not combine them with the already existing data. E.g. if MJ went to another team, according to the butterfly effect it would trigger a series of small changes that would lead to much bigger ones until eventually nothing would end up like if the initial differentiation was not there. That means if MJ went to LA where Phil was, he might not be playing with Shaquile and Kobe.
this video hit me so hard. jimmy knows how to create color in story like no one else. the goat of NBA storytelling, and if one day he decides to move on to bigger bounds, I know he'd EASILY kill it
There is one good butterfly effect about Philly and their process, so in season 2005 draft Lakers drafted Andrew Bynum, he came out of high school and was 18, became the youngest starter ever (i think) as the Lakers got better over the years Bynum was also becoming really good as he was the 3rd best player in the championship Lakers squad, and later after all he finally became an All Star at the age of 25 and he was considered the best center in the league behind Dwight, but in 2012 off-season he got traded to Philly in that big Dwight Howard trade package, and he was supposed to be next great Philly star, but he got injured while bowling lol, and he never played a single game for them, and because they traded Andre Iguodala in that Dwight Howard trade, they were bad, and they started their process, where they landed guys like Embiid and Simmons, who they turned into James Harden and also they got Jimmy Butler, cuz they traded Dario Saric who was also part of the process, so if it wasnt for Andrew Bynum injuring himself on the bowling, they would never got Embiid and Harden
Had to pause the video after that embiid story. Bro as a 76ers fan hearing that still even after knowing about it is so amazing. I feel so bad for embiid sometimes too man. Praying this szn works out
In 2014 Barcelona scouted a young player in Europe, made a deal with his agent, all that was left is to sign a contract but just for fun they watched a game together where that player had the worst game of his life and Barcelona backed out from the deal. That player is now 2x MVP, and this years finals MVP, Nikola Jokic. If he signed for Barcelona that day, no way Denver contacts him and none of this happens.
I read somewhere years ago, if anyone was curious, that, per his trainer, one of the key pieces to fixing Steph’s ankle problems was actually building his core strength/hip strength and overall strength base. Taking him back to fundamental athletic training basically. All starts with the core. Pretty interesting since curry became one of the more durable dudes in the league over his career outside of that wrist injury season.
Not to mention his ankle issues were a big reason the Warriors didnt want to pay him max money. That was a main factor in them being able to afford KD.
In 1971 Bucks won a Championship with Kareem and in that immediate next draft Bucks drafted Dr. J. If Dr. J decides to play with Kareem in Milwaukee instead of joining the ABA how many Championships do the Bucks win? 4? 6? In 1998 Bucks drafted Dirk Norwitzki and immediately traded him. Imagine Bucks with Dirk, Ray Allen, Sam Cassell and Glenn "Big Dog" Robinson? That's a Dynasty team right there. Bucks finally get it right in 2023 Giannis, Dame, Kha$h and Brook. #3PEAT incoming! That will make 4 Chips for Giannis.
Jxmy's content is what we call in the Philippines, "walang tapon" - like every single video, or every single minute u spend watching his content is really worth it! not a single minute wasted to bad content! continue to prosper and provide us 11/10 videos. this video specifically amazed me about the butterfly effect -i guess things really happens for a reason
True, the reason curry is so deadly offball is that anyone on the gsw can shoot so therefore every defender are confused on who to guard, on the other hand if he was on the bucks his offball wouldnt be too deadly since klay is no longer his teammates, another thing is that if the trade happened giannis and curry would still be rookies and would alter there each others way of developing
Yeah, it’s not guaranteed that Curry would have had the same success because you needed a coach that would let him do that. There’s plenty of players before that wanted to play like Curry but most coaches would have benched you for trying some of the shots he does. Steve Kerr is crucial to Curry’s development
Bro, I want to personally thank you for the awesome amount of research you do before posting a video. It’s amazing how good of a content you create making it relevant, interesting and informative for all of us. Respect from Israel!
In hindsight now that we’ve seen the peak of Steph and his accomplishments, it’s wild to know that it doesn’t matter how it went down all those years ago he still would’ve had a hof career either way
I've been watching your vids for years and you keep on getting better at your craft. This is what it means to be a content creator. One of the best storytelling on the platform.
This was a GREAT idea for a video since there are so many of these stories that beed to be told in greater detail. Example would be Tim Duncan ALMOST going to Orlando to team up with prime Tracy McGrady and veteran Grant Hill.

My day gets better when jxmy uploads. Btw you should do the best dynasties ever to settle which one was the best. Do it your style with players, championships, mvp’s etc. This is just a suggestion and you don’t have to do it if you want. You’ll still be my favourite TH-camr.
This video gave me chills. Also made me think about Lebron in his early cavs days. If they had built a real championship contender team around Lebron, maybe he wouldve never turned into the 275lb athletic behemoth he was in his Miami days, and wouldve never wanted to go back to Cleveland to give his city arguably his best championship.
Curry and Giannis would have been very fun to watch. I do not know how well they would have mixed, but it definitely would have been one of the all time great duos
The only thing I have against the whole Steph and Giannis duo back then is that Steve Kerr was a major reason Steph became shooter he was today. He implemented the motion offense and introduced a new way of shooting, without that Steph would still be a great traditional point guard, but maybe not the player he is today if Kerr isn't coaching him.
Bro, you might not see this, but you’re the goat when it comes to TH-cam essays, let alone sports essays, you got me into basketball. I wanna do a similar style to yours but for soccer/football, hope I can one day reach anywhere close to your level of excellence Brother
I vividly remember watching Kansas for Andrew Wiggins, and instantly being impressed by Embiid, I felt like an NBA scout, like damn who’s this kid playing center! 😂😂 crazy to see him become the player I thought he would just from those Kansas games.
Can we just appreciate how Jimmy never fails to strap me to a chair in his basement, deprive me of food and water, and force me to watch 90s basketball clips 24/7?❤

bruh the way you contextualize what the video is actually ab is literally goated, by the time the video STARTS i feel like ive seen a whole video
That MJ story is insane to even think about. Would've been something else.
Yeah it definitely was he could have been a laker
Your content is second none. Second to none! Original takes and you back it up. Appreciate you man.
My day gets better when jxmy uploads. Btw you should do the best dynasties ever to settle which one was the best. Do it your style with players, championships, mvp’s etc. This is just a suggestion and you don’t have to do it if you want. You’ll still be my favourite TH-camr.
Interesting proposition. Spurs, Warriors, Lakers (Showtime, 70's, 2000's), Celtics (80's, 60's), Bulls... too many to choose from.
Men, you make the best NBA videos. There is no point in comparing anyone with you. Holy, you gave me the chills with this one.
This video gave me chills. Also made me think about Lebron in his early cavs days. If they had built a real championship contender team around Lebron, maybe he wouldve never turned into the 275lb athletic behemoth he was in his Miami days, and wouldve never wanted to go back to Cleveland to give his city arguably his best championship.
The way this guy tells stories man, its amazing
The fact that Jxmy researches all of this stuff to make us videos is amazing!
Every time I watch one of these videos I get a shiver down my spine. I can't say that for any other content creator out there.
Crazy that the ankle injury almost caused the warriors to trade Steph. It would’ve been wild seeing him being paired with Giannis and Middleton.
I want to narrate stories like you do, Jxmy.
You're a blessing to the basketball world
Curry and Giannis would have been very fun to watch. I do not know how well they would have mixed, but it definitely would have been one of the all time great duos
I absolutely love it when Jxmy does these stories!
Right on time play boy 💪🏾
Hey Jimmy, just as you posted this, of a hypothetical of Giannis and Steph, the Bucks just got Dame!!
Lowkey frustrating to think we had the chance to see Shaq Kobe and MJ on the same team and it didn't happen
I'm not familiar with this story. Was it when MJ retired, or when he came back from retirement (at age 38)?
@@richatlarge462 after 1998, after the 6th chip
@@justland2000ifyThanks. In other words, if he went to the Lakers after his sixth championship, instead of retiring. Got it.
Jimmys Storytelling ability in combination with incredible music is really on Disney level
Today's Fact: The first video game to feature voice acting was 'Cliff Hanger' in 1983.
Dang
Brothas culturally appropriated white dress and style but get mad at a guys braids

You are on every post. Thank you for the facts
@Monk3yZZlaunchedfromspacetell bro we support him! 🏳️🏳️🏳️😂😂
6:33 I've seen this clip so many times but never noticed Klay tripping and falling as he watches Steph with concern
The only thing I have against the whole Steph and Giannis duo back then is that Steve Kerr was a major reason Steph became shooter he was today. He implemented the motion offense and introduced a new way of shooting, without that Steph would still be a great traditional point guard, but maybe not the player he is today if Kerr isn't coaching him.
Nah men dude has been a shooter his whole life the reason for him being selected was his shooting ability
@@charlesmaina3138 I never said he wouldn't be able to shoot, just not at the level of like 2016 without Kerr
It was Marc Jackson that gave Steph and Klay the green light to launch 3s before Kerr got the job.
I’m only 1:02 seconds in and this is already top tier content bro. From the interesting back story to the soccer footage to the music. Bravo bro
You know it’s a good day when jimmy drops
Bro, you might not see this, but you’re the goat when it comes to TH-cam essays, let alone sports essays, you got me into basketball. I wanna do a similar style to yours but for soccer/football, hope I can one day reach anywhere close to your level of excellence Brother
Jxmy keeping us sane in the offseason with these uploads 🙌 and easily the best content throughout the season
I vividly remember watching Kansas for Andrew Wiggins, and instantly being impressed by Embiid, I felt like an NBA scout, like damn who’s this kid playing center! 😂😂 crazy to see him become the player I thought he would just from those Kansas games.
Bucks don't need Steph now they got Dame 😂
I never watch basketball but I watch almost all of jimmy’s video honestly one of the most entertaining people to watch ❤
I need to get back to this video and say... I think the Bucks now got their Stephen Curry like guy, and that's Dame
The amount of goosebumps I had throughout this whole video really is shocking
6:45 Klay feeling the pain for this brother
Love liquid IV! I’m a heavy sweater and nothing else as helped me recover lost energy and electrolytes better! Good sponsorship!🙏
Long time listener, first time caller. Just gotta say, never stop making videos man. You’re the 🐐
Oh man I remember seeing Moute in the dining hall all the time at UCLA. Dude was a beast on those Bruins teams.
This butterfly effect video is my favourite video you’ve put out. Love this idea! Amazing stuff 🔥
This might just be the best TH-cam-video I've ever watched. This man never misses
Can we just appreciate how Jimmy never fails to strap me to a chair in his basement, deprive me of food and water, and force me to watch 90s basketball clips 24/7?❤
need more of these hypothetical style videos 🔥 this was fire
Man hope some day you have the chance to do big documentaries! Your content is beyond expectations. It is superb. Respect brother! ♥
One of the best videos I’ve seen on TH-cam. Brought back so many memories thank you
Bruuuuhh you really be out here story telling with facts, stats and some of the most unknown story backgrounds.
Imma need you to get a TH-cam ESPY for these videos bro!
Love and respect to you. I smile every time you upload something.
