4 Epic NBA playoff series that almost happened

[@zachh13]

I don't think people realize how awesome a rockets vs bulls finals would've been Hakeem: the guy who people doubt because he only won rings when Jordan wasn't there Drexler: Jordan's greatest shooting guard rival who people say can't even compare to Jordan Charles: the 1993 mvp who everyone says is trash because he didn't win a ring (most underrated player of all time) Vs Mj: the greates player of all time Scottie: best small forward of his time Rodman: greatest rebounder of his time

[@Dom2k16]

+zach Horvitz Yup that's why I chose it. Would've been too much fun

[@SwishScopeOfficial]

Don't forget how it would be Charles and Drexler's chance for a pesudo-redemption against MJ for beating them in 92 and 93 in an iconic fashion (the shrug against Drexler, a GOAT statline and a 50 point game against Barkley's Suns).

[@gideonamankwah6491]

@@Dom2k16 Hawks Suns nearly happened in 2021. Also, Warriors Heat almost happened in 2022.

whos mike ?

[@hendrikfullgraf1031]

oh oh Mike Korzemba, a KZbinr who makes similar videos as dom2k

[@Jswervofrm219]

tbh I wanted to see the thunder vs cavs in the finals last year

[@stephcurrytheg.o.a.t]

Justin Prince tbh also I did kind of before the season started last year

[@countmusa1074]

Steph Curry The G.O.A.T no u didnt your obviously a warriors fan y would u want your team to sit out of the finals

[@stephcurrytheg.o.a.t]

Stewie Griffin I'm also a basketball fan it would've been cool to see KD vs LeBron. But then the Warriors started winning so much I couldn't watch Steph lose after having a season like this, but I mean he still lost anyway tho

[@countmusa1074]

Steph Curry The G.O.A.T lebron already went against kd in the finals and westbrook and harden in 2012 when lebron was in Miami still can't believe Miami went to the finals every year lebron was there lebrom is truly one of the g.o.a.t.s why do u think curry is the greatest of all time

[@anthonyjohnson4143]

Stewie Griffin Ummm.... literally I would put them in the same spot

Ayyy!! haha

[@zbtyn]

Nick Smith loving ur videos bro

[@Dreamerland101]

Lakers Nation nick sucks

[@splashball1238]

Lebrons still in his prime. He's still great and the only reason he doesn't have crazy stats is cuz he resting and taking it easy during the season

[@koladude3000]

Splash Ball123 yea

[@Dom2k16]

Lebron is not in his prime anymore. His best days were Miami, he's still the greatest today, he is still great overall, but prime Lebron was the one that could fly at anytime without thinking twice.

[@Dom2k16]

He's not passed his prime either like washed up or anything, he's like right on the other side of it.

[@justinmathews773]

Dom2k you still believe this now?

[@kingtide69]

Splash Ball123 no, prime Lebron is an MVP every year

[@ronaldomendoza7578]

First Nick, Then Mike, and then Dom2k? Screw Christmas I'm fine with this.

[@Dom2k16]

Lmao

[@noahtheboaconstrictor]

Ronaldo, LOW (Legend of Winning) makes some great videos too. I watch all four of these guys and enjoy the videos very much.

[@youngcp3886]

Dom2k you low korzemba and nick should do a collab

[@ronaldomendoza7578]

Noah Thomas I'll check him out, my friends have told me about him but I haven't seen his videos yet.

[@noahtheboaconstrictor]

Ronaldo, sounds good!

[@juss1535]

Just think about what could've been last years finals, OKC vs CAVS.... Irving vs Westbrook, JR. vs Dion, Durant vs Lebron, Love vs Ibaka, and Thompson vs Adems. Does anyone Disagree?????

[@tejveerplaha2665]

Just-Win_15 Mozgov didn't even play in the finals, I think you're forgetting a key part of the Cavs in Kevin Love,

[@koladude3000]

Just-Win_15 Kevin love va ibaka and Thompson vs adams

[@jayseps505]

lebron would make durant his bitch once again

[@nestility288]

Just-Win_15 what SHOULDVE been last year can't spell choke without okc

[@Dom2k16]

I didn't want to see that tbh, Thunder never did good against Lebron teams.

[@ADAJ3KINGANGEL]

This is one of my favorite KZbin channels. Though I would have been too young to watch, I wish the Bulls played the Rockets in the Finals because some people like to discredit Hakeem's rings.

[@stopplzs]

I wish we can skip to the start of the playoffs already this season playoff time is the best time of the year it's getting warm again great weather and great basketball

[@nickreilly4932]

BosnianSkilla u mean good weather in the early playoffs or now

[@stopplzs]

Nick the God in early playoffs

[@zmr3352]

Knicks vs Bulls in the 1997 Eastern Conference Finals would of been interesting.

[@stephcurrytheg.o.a.t]

ZMR33 yeah that was the Knicks best chance that year. The previous years the only problems the Knicks had was they couldn't score. They was like in the bottom 5 for scoring all the other years they faced the Bulls. That year they had scoring and their D didn't fall off that much. They were tied in the regular season that year. I heard that some say David Stern suspended multiple Knicks that year cause he didn't want them to face the Bulls. MJ even said during the Eastern Conference Finals that year that he doesn't know if he was facing the right team

[@knee-colayo-kitc104]

ZMR33 we had enough chances to beat them, also choking in 94 didn't help either still love Patrick Ewing tho 😪😪😪

[@AngelSurgeSSX]

Kobe passing over the torch to Lebron would have been amazing one of the many reasons Dwight Howard is my least favorite player

[@Dom2k16]

lol

[@tomjordan7312]

it wasn't just dwight's fault.

Dom2k bro when u dropping wilts case for a GOAT

[@mcray0309]

who edits your vids tho

[@youngallstar3797]

Dom2k you should do another who would win in 2k like a 7 game series with the Miami Heat vs the 72-10 bulls

[@nootherideas2000]

Dom your content is great, but I would recommend a new Thumbnail style. Trust me you will blow up with an eye catching thumbnail with like big font and stuff

[@Dom2k16]

My Thumbnails have been the same ever since the videos were getting hundreds of thousands of views. It's KZbin's new algorithm that's hurting me rn, I`m at their liberty unfortunately

[@chrisuncleahmad666]

You mentioned Spurs/Celtics 2012... everyone wanted Heat/Thunder..... but the what-if from 2012 that intrigued me honestly is Boston/OKC.

[@astromigui]

Nice video, and for the Spurs-Celtics final, we shouldn't forget that SA was recording a 20 wins streak untill game 3 of conference finals, they won the 10 last game of the regular season and then the 10 first play-offs game !

[@Dom2k16]

I didn't even realize that, thanks

[@danielpreciado6557]

If OKC didn't choke the WCF last year. OKC vs the Cavs

You meant 2013.

[@Stonecoldalston]

Wade & Lebron didn't enter there prime til around 08 but that would of been a great series

[@theprodigyhq9871]

Dom I miss the soundtrack that you use on your old vids. An example is your playoff series we were robbed of video. The soundtrack you used to use was so catchy and it kept me paying attention. I still do today but it made the videos more fun to watch. Just some constructive criticism by me. Keep up the quality content! Love you.

[@Dom2k16]

All of the soundtracks come from the same game.

we almost got a Lakers Kings conference Finals back in 2004 the Kings took the T Wovles to a game 7 before losing and a Spurs Heat NBA Finals back in 2005

[@skalawitz]

Yes sir!! I was 15 that year and watched the game live Jazz vs Rockets in 97. But Stockton drilled that three in Chucks face.. So we're left with a what if..

[@narrow3601]

for some reason during that Cavs and Magic Matchup no one other than LeBron could play defense I remember watching the Magic kinda go “okay if we can’t attack them inside we’ll attack them outside” legit their three point shooters could score anywhere even if they were 100% smothered

[@BmoreOriginal410]

Why do the Spurs blow leads 😭😭😭

I guess this was more for things we hadn't seen, we've already seen KD vs Bron and will likely see it again.

[@slickboymcgee8624]

Dom2k Mm yeah but this would've been a more polished and better KD and Russ. Plus Bron isn't on a super team this time around. Would've been interesting to see the rematch.

[@SJ-di5zu]

Dom2k But this was KD and Russ at their absolute peak vs Finals Lebron and Kyrie. Plus the Thunder played out of their minds against the Dubs

[@zachh13]

I think that a 2011 NBA Finals between the Lakers and the Heat would've been great The Lakers were coming off of 3 straight Finals appearances and Kobe and Pau were still good And the Hear were in their 1st year of the big 3 Most people would probably say that the Heat would win, but remember this was their first year together and they lost to the Mavs

[@LuisGonzalez-fo2hg]

GOAT

[@erenjager4698]

I would've loved to see the dream play and hopefully win against Jordan. I needed that series to happen because Hakeem olajuwon Iz my fav player of all time because of all his moves on the elbow and the block. And he was also a defensive juggernaut. I would've loved to see him next Jordan just once. So that he could've been the only man to best Jordan in the finals. I think that if Jordan didn't retire he wouldve to Hakeem and the rockets in 1 of the finals series in 94 and 95. I think that an mj on a revenge tour would've probably won in 95 after losing in 94 tho. That would've been amazing to see

[@weeeeeee10]

OKC vs CAVS 2016

[@raywhite6652]

[@gideonamankwah2055]

I think the Cavs and Rockets NBA Finals almost happened but CP3 was hurt and they bricked 27 straight missed threes. I think if CP3 was healthy or they don't miss that many threes and just went to the basket, we could have had CLE-HOU. Hell, if Kyrie and Hayward were healthy, we could have had HOU-BOS last year.

But I didn't ask why the Celtics didn't get it done tho...

[@knee-colayo-kitc104]

[@quann06]

The refs fucked the Celtics over in that series. Garnett got kicked by Wade they called a foul on KG instead of Wade & the Heat put the game away with those free throws.

[@x--LeethaL--x]

Just think if Kobe had of hit those airballs. Young Mamba v Jordan. Oh man

if u could would u be able to make a what if like what if Scottie pippen was never traded
