About this listen
This week on NBA History, we're venturing into the realm of "what ifs" – those pivotal moments, injuries, and decisions that could have drastically altered the course of the league. We'll delve into the most debated scenarios and their potential ripple effects on team dynasties, player legacies, and the very fabric of NBA history.
We'll examine the careers tragically impacted by injury, wondering what heights players like Grant Hill, Tracy McGrady, Bill Walton, and Brandon Roy could have reached at full health. The heartbreaking "what if" surrounding Len Bias and the dynasty the Celtics might have built will also be a central focus.
We'll dissect crucial draft decisions, most notably the Trail Blazers passing on Michael Jordan, and explore the long-term consequences of trades that never materialized, such as Chris Paul to the Lakers and Kobe Bryant to the Bulls.
Join us as we navigate these fascinating alternative timelines, acknowledging the subjectivity and unprovable nature of these discussions, but embracing the captivating "butterfly effect" that could have reshaped the NBA as we know it.
