Ethan Williams curry is only getting paid 12 million a year so that's the answer for golden state

[@kingwayne6651]

Ik I was talking about how golden state Warriors had cap space to get durant

[@loadhmmmhmmm]

I mean, that only would've really been a problem for the Knicks. The Bulls, OKC, and the Warriors drafted most of their talent. Harden, Wall, Klay, and Draymond all would've been on small rookie contracts. Same for Curry, Butler, and maybe Aldridge on the Bulls, and same for Durant, Westbrook, and Ibaka. For people like Aldridge who would've had their contracts expire early after the team would've had to resign Bird, it would be fine for them to give a max contract to both Bird and Aldridge. The video probably didn't go far enough to show teams getting in trouble with having 4 max players and no money to sign them all. The Knicks on the other hand, no way they could sign Lebron, CP3, Melo, and Love, all would demand max contracts and that just couldn't happen.

[@zandergilder9928]

Joshua James And because of the current nba, Bird would probably even better than before.

[@jonny15dk]

Larry Bird averaged 10 RPG also. Today he could be shooting 4 or 5 times as many 3s atleast. No handchecking now and defensive 3 second lane violation. So easier to score now. His FG% on 2s would go up too.

Abhimanyu Patil You're making it seem like the team was ridiculously unbeatable. They lost to the heat in the ECF, lost to the Lakers in the finals.. Last championship they won was 2008 with that very line up minus Roy.. What makes you think they'd even get back in the year they lost to the Bulls in the simulation? That's ridiculous

[@P5ych1c]

ShadowPlayz _ Except if Magic could've gone to the Thunder without them trading for him he would've already straight up done it. If the Thunder can't fit Magic's salary without the sign-and-trade, then Orlando can just turn down the Conley offer and find a better one.

By a lot means Larry Bird was the leader of their team, Magic wasn't. Bird got better stats and their team won 32 more games than last season.

[@gc3k]

Bird's stats weren't a lot better (Bird's 21.3/10/4.5 vs Magic's 18/7/7, and more steals and better FG% from Magic) In the 1979 season the Celtics were tied up in an owner swap and a number of trades with the now-Clippers, which put them in position to draft Bird then McHale the following year Put Bird and Magic on a depleted team like the Bulls and Hornets, it's not a foregone conclusion that Bird would win RotY, since it was already a close race in the 1980 season

[@jesse6412]

how the celtics go from 22-60 7:40 to 64-18 in a year 9:20

[@weeepweeep8754]

[@jp3813]

Hi Lucas They'll just keep shooting threes like always.

[@HiLucas11]

Which makes it more interesting. Would they surprise everyone and leave historic marks in Basketball history?

[@brendengodfrey9564]

They will dominate

[@KB-qk1ic]

that is interesting, they wouldn't have the improvements and technological advantages their era is known for, but they also wouldn't be hurt by AAU basketball, making them focus on the fundamentals and improving their basketball I.q. over highlights.

[@KB-qk1ic]

Stephen Curry would they? a player like Curry wouldn't be given the green light to take 8 three's a game. driving to the basket would get him floored by power forwards and centers repeatedly. LeBron wouldn't be able to flop and actually play at full capacity, he also would have gone to college and came into the league more developed than he already was as a rookie. few players would stay the same.

[@MrSaibot420]

I love what you did with this video with these two legends. Please do more of these type of videos like with Jordan and iverson getting drafted in the 2006 season or around there.

[@spungusbungus5644]

Out of ALL the NBA channels that make videos, THIS IS THE BEST! Its not even close (IMO). This video proves it. No one can work like this. Amazing job my man, keep it up. 100 hours is insane but you can tell that this was long work!

[@ynlcj4700]

You should do “what if Bill Russell played in today’s nba era

[@darkrh5404]

BaHa DaDon he would be nothing more than one of the best defenders in the league

[@krosses7156]

@@darkrh5404 yeah, unless he was a member of a super team, hed get like 7 dpoy and maybe 1 mvp

[@Johnkoth]

No no. Bill Russell would be more than the best Defender. He would also be the best rebounder most likely. He averaged 20 RPG 2nd Only to Wilt. He would be better than Dwight Howard on Offense and Defense. The man passed like a SF/SG. He got 4 APG.

[@Johnkoth]

In todays NBA Bill Russell could average 6 APG.

[@zsmoove3108]

How about you do videos on legends, past or current, in other era's? For example, LeBron being drafted the early-mid 1980's to face off with Michael Jordan in the 90's? Or Bird, Magic & Jordan in the 50's & 60's to have better competition?

[@raphaelbori862]

Do a what if the Houston Rockets had traded Ralph Sampson for the 2nd pick in the 1984 draft (in which they would have taken Michael Jordan) and Clyde Drexler. Imagine those three together. Hakeem, MJ and Clyde Drexler

[@cartiersabu]

Raphael Bori So Rockets had the first and second pick in the draft? That sounds unrealistic.

[@raphaelbori862]

they were offered it

[@raphaelbori862]

Saúl Buruca it's more realistic than this entire video

[@cartiersabu]

Raphael Bori Oh i didnt know they were offered it my bad. Portland would lose either way lmao.

[@vincentwhitaker5757]

That would be a great video

[@TheBradjohnson5]

Absolutely incredible, one of my fav vids of all time.

[@jonathanblaze1648]

I guess every year in his simulation teams are winning 70 games left and right. I call BS.

[@Kyle-xn9qb]

It's not like adding two more all-time greats to an already stacked NBA would create more superteams or anything.

[@cristianalcarazgot425]

Because Wade, Bosh, Pierce, Garnett, nor Allen are even top20 players all time while those two are top10 lock.

[@TheGamersCampKarlsanada13]

He uses a website to do this what ifs btw. Forgot what website is that but it lets you do what ifs just like this. Although, I do think it does not factor in salary cap as you cannot sign LBJ in the Knicks with Love, Melo and CP3 there for sure.

[@kylejonaslipar3414]

Wade is top 3 SG of all time and Garnett easily top 5 in the PF. So if there's a top 5 in every position. Both of them are at least in top 25 of all time you filthy casual.

[@cristianalcarazgot425]

Garnett it's the one i have in the top 25 (maybe 21 or 22) Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Kareem, Larry Bird, Lebron James, Tim Duncan, Bill Russell, Hakeem, Big O, Wilt Chamberlain, Kobe, David Robinson, Jerry West, Julius Erving, Karl Malone, John Stockthon, Isiah Thomas, Charles Barkley, Elgin Baylor, Dirk. That's my top 20 not in particular order. I can see both Wade and Garnett hovering around top 21-25 as you said, but that doesn't make my statment any less true. "filthy casual"

[@isaacmatity1691]

hey mike i love your what if scenarios, i watch them all the time and i really appreciate the effort you put into them. i would love to see more even if you don’t see this comment.

[@DocLeon77]

I love how the simulation still has Lebron travel when going to the basket😂

[@sethmandeville8822]

Birds scoring average would be about the same (within a 2-3 point variance either way) His rebound numbers would drop a couple but his assist total would rise as he found the open man in the paint or gunned it to another 3 point specialist when he drew the double team. He would possibly be a dominant force because today's NBA plays into his game well. 3 point shooting while still possessing solid fundamentals. It is very possible his defense would take a step back however... Magic would still have some success. White he was an okay perimeter shooter, it's not his game and would not be his game in today's NBA. So I don't see his scoring average rising. Magic would still thrive as the assist man on fast breaks. He would be a star still but not dominant like his 80s campaign. Please keep in mind all of the above stated is just my opinion. I am interested in other people's thoughts however.

Hey Mike! I just watched a documentary about European basketball. Can you do a "What If" video on Arvydas Sabonis?
