      What if basketball legend Connie Hawkins didn't have to spend arguably his "prime" years outside of the NBA due to being wrongfully banned?

      Great Video I found here for anybody who has a few minutes to watch.

        Haha - the Rucker - every great East Coast player seems to have made their way thru there to ball.

          What if Chicago wouldn't have won the lottery where they got D-Rose?

          What if Stockton and Malone didn't play in the 90s with Jordan, Olajuwon, Drexler, etc.?

          What if LeBron won a ring in Cleveland?

          And my personal favorite, what if Kobe retired last year, leaving just Nash, Dwight, and Pau?

            What if Chicago wouldn't have won the lottery where they got D-Rose?

            They would have remained a struggling franchise. Not many more opportunities in recent years to grab a franchise player like that.

            What if Stockton and Malone didn't play in the 90s with Jordan, Olajuwon, Drexler, etc.?

            They would of remained ringless. Before Mike some guys named Larry and Earvin were dominating the league. Before them some guys named Wilt and Bill. Those late 90's Jazz teams would have won a chip in the 2000s - the 2000's Spurs' chip teams resembled them a whole lot if you break them down.

            What if LeBron won a ring in Cleveland?

            He would of stayed. His body of work in Cleveland is amazing - 66-16 one year with average guys. That was only a few games away from some legendary teams like the Bulls (72-10) and Lakers (69-13). I think one of the 2000 Laker teams went like 65-17 or something. Those teams were loaded - he did it with average to good role players. Very impressive.

            And my personal favorite, what if Kobe retired last year, leaving just Nash, Dwight, and Pau?

            The Lakers would be in the same predicament, probably worse. Nash has faced injuries. Dwight needed 3 months and some man to man talks to get right. Pau would of been right where he is in D'antoni's eyes. Prior to this season you'd figure the Lakers would of won 60 games. Looking back at it all, they're lucky to be scrapping for 8th.

            I will throw this out there and say if they would of kept Mike Brown they would of been a much better squad.

                  Only if Olajuwon would have stayed for his senior year.

                      I think I heard this brought up on Mike and Mike yesterday (or this morning):

                      What if Kobe would have signed with the Clippers back in 2004. That signing honestly would have reshaped the last 7-8 years as we know it. I'm guessing he just used it as leverage but that would have been a game changer.
