For me it’s Derrick Rose’s career if he hadn’t been injured. The youngest mvp in history with some of the most electric basketball we’ve ever seen, it feels a little like robbery to have not been able to see that unfold.
What if Len Bias didn’t die
If Kelly Olynyk didn’t intentionally injure Kevin Love in 2015
How would Kawhi’s career have turned out if he didn’t get injured by Zaza and the following injuries since.
Fuck Zaza.
Fuuuuuck Zaza. I think I can finally get over this now though. Praise be to Wemby
What if Chris Paul didn’t get hurt in Game 5 of the WCF. Harden and CP3 could go on to win a ring and their legacies looks completely different.
What happens if Tim Donaghy never fixed any playoff games? Would the Kings have a championship banner? What other teams would be affected by this?
Mine is more selfish: what if Kwahi’s shot takes three bounces instead of four and the Sixers make it to the ECF? If we assume the same outcome for Golden State - everyone gets hurt and they have no chance - there’s a really good chance the entire narrative around Embiid and the Sixers is totally different. It’s incredible how much that bounce impacted.
This is actually a interesting what if
What if the Cavs drafted Darko in 2003 and LeBron gets drafted by the Pistons.
Obviously there would be massive civil unrest in Cleveland and Darko would’ve been a bust regardless.
Meanwhile LeBron joins a team that just made the ECF with some great veterans. Now granted Larry Brown won’t start him rightaway which would affect his counting stats but he starts winning rings very early in his career. And I do believe the Pistons still trade for Rasheed.
BSOLZ a YouTuber made a video on something like this.
What if Game 6 of the 2002 WCF had been officiated competently?
I would have loved a what if where the mid-2000s Suns had a competent, not cheap owner. Sarver was selling first round picks and refusing to resign good players on a peak championship contender. It was malpractice.
As an OSU fan it will always be Greg oden for me
I’m so happy that kd is on the suns now, and that wouldn’t have happened without the nets collapse, but to see everything work out and see the nets win a championship (not against the suns but maybe the next season)
What really happened to Len Bias
What if Kobe was drafted by the Timberwolves and Garnett was drafted by the Lakers?
Dude where do I even fucking begin
What if KD never left OKC…
