If you could change the outcome of one game in NBA history, which would you choose?

Houston fan here



Curse John Stockton. We were supposed to have a dream/drexler/Barkley vs jordan/pippen/Rodman final.

I firmly believe mj wanted no parts of dream. But if they were good enough they would have got there.

Runner up



Yao was coming into his own. In the first round he had a game where he scored 30 pts without missing a shot. Him and tmac won more than 20 games straight. Had Ron artest, mutombo, battier, Rick Adelman, and a great cast. Won game 1 in la over the eventual Champs and still took them to 7 games without Yao or tmac. That was our year.

Runner up

Missing 23 straight 3s or chris Paul knee

game 1 1995 finals. nick anderson just had to hit one. :snoop:

but blowing that big lead and losing the game kind of crushed orlando mentally for that series. and obviously nick was never the same after that.

would've been interesting to see what would've happened with the magic keeping all that confidence and momentum with a big game 1 win.

Outside the obvious


Ehh, what would that have changed? He still would've went to the Nets. You had BKN winning the Mickey Mouse ring?

Runner up

I just checked Yao's stats and didn't realize after the first three years of his career he couldn't consistently play more than 60 games.

From age 25 to 27 he only played 65% of his games.

If Yao couldn't had a full career, we might be calling him the GOAT.

Derrick Rose Stats | Basketball-Reference.com

2011-12 Shooting

That year 75% of his shots were 2pt:

32% of those within 3 ft
18% between 3 to 1ft
9% from 10 to 16ft
16% 16 ft to 3pt Range

D-Rose was going to the hole in traffic, shooting floater thru traffic or shooting long 2's.

It wasn't till his year in Minny where he really mixed up where he was shooting 2 pointers and even constantly shot around 50% from 2pt range

His first three year only %13 of his shots were 3pts (which we both acknowledge), but, 46% of all his attempts (2s or 3s) came within 10 feet

Mind you, D-Rose a was beast rim attacker (48% fg overall)

Off topic 70% of his 2pt FG were unassisted :ohmy:

My bad, I'm starting to be an advanced stat nerd because of bb-reference
This isn't special for most point guards.

Philly bouls, Trust the Process
Nah breh lol.

If Philly wins two titles in a row like you suggest they would/could have, why the hell would they then trade Simmons for Harden? :comeon:
Because Harden is objectively better, and one of the reasons Jimmy left is that he didn't like Ben. Jimmy would've pushed for Ben to be moved no matter what, and you always take Harden if he's available

I wanted to see the rockets vs the bulls

Wack ass jazz fukked it up

I'd change that if it guaranteed the rockets played the bulls

And the Heat fukked up a Bulls-Knicks ECF series that year as well. :smh:

That is why BOTH of them got their issue. :birdman:
