I know..."if's" and "would have's" are stupid because they aren't reality and they never happened.
But I'm just curious...
What are some fun "if's" that come to your mind. Here's what I had in mind...
IF Pete Maravich had been drafted by a better team and had better coaching, discipline, and direction he would have EASILY been one of the top 5 greatest players of all-time - and would probably still be alive today.
IF Scottie Pippen never played with Michael Jordan and James Worthy never played with Magic and Kareem, both (Pippen and Worthy) wouldn't have a single ring, would not have been named to the 50 greatest team and would not be considered great players.
IF Bernard King didn't have knee problems he would have been in the top 10.
IF the ping pong balls went a different way and Boston got Tim Duncan in '97, they would have at least 3 more championship banners.
IF Portland drafted Michael Jordan he STILL would have won at least four championships with the Blazers.
IF Len Bias had more discipline and had people in his life who could keep him away from drugs the Celtics would have remained a finals contender and may have prevented the Bad Boys from winning two, if not a single title.
IF the Bulls and Suns actually made the trade that would have sent Scottie Pippen to Phoenix for Dan Majerle the Bulls still would have won the last three titles.
Do you agree with any of these or am I nuts here?
