How was this a 5 min video??? It covered so much and was so immersive it felt way longer

🤣🤣🤣

I was just about to say that lol

[@marcoyolo1095]

is he referencing smth specific here

[@AirRusher1992]

2016 was indeed the craziest year indeed. Another MDJ classic.

[@nathancardenas2719]

Indeed

[@stevenabraham5897]

The events in 2016 led to Marc starting a youtube channel in 2017 so it's basically cemented in time as the most inluential year in NBA history. Edit: Though I think the fact that 2016 had one of the best Dunk contest in years was also worth a mention

[@bearcatfan1000]

The craziest thing about all of this? The Charlotte Hornets made the playoffs

[@shamsielshahar120]

And they were a solid team too. It's not like they're in the playoffs begging to be swept by the 1st seed.

[@bearcatfan1000]

@@shamsielshahar120 48 wins, tied for 3rd in east with 4 other teams, deep bench, top 10 in offensive and defensive rating. It was a statistical anomaly and I wish it got talked more about because of it

[@shamsielshahar120]

@@bearcatfan1000 I just also realized this is the year where Batum signed a 5 year $120m deal. I wish MDJ included it in this video lol.

ye the Heat faced them in the Playoffs right? DWade is balling during that series too

[@bucksfan1945]

Best dunk contest ever best finals ever .best record ever .first unanimous MVP ever Kobes last year .two 3 1 comebacks back to back .by far best season ever .

[@eminem252525]

Bro forgot about the craziest dunk contest ever, 2016 really was NBA peak

[@Doofito]

The chaotic energy of this video is exactly what I needed in my life

[@josephkin5924]

Instantly one of my favorite KZbin videos I’ve ever watched. Combined basketball with great comedic timing

[@jlui21]

- We found JA's account. Bang. Banggg

[@farstrider4592]

I actually called in sick to work just to see game 7 of the finals. I was rooting for the Warriors but that was still a crazy intense game.

[@thegreat808-brawlstars7]

I like this style of video! Love your other vids too but this was hella entertaining and funny

[@thegreat808-brawlstars7]

Also a touch of nostalgia never hurts lol keep it up!

[@crimson6952]

Im glad you're back man

[@Jack.Gulezian]

Honestly probably the biggest fork in the road moment in nba history was lebron winning the ring in 2016. If that happens honestly probably like 85% of crazy trades and free agency signings just don’t happen or it plays out completely differently. Durant doesn’t sign with gsw if they win a ring, likely returns to okc and who knows what Westbrook and kd could’ve done with more years together. Houston probably doesn’t find it necessary to trade for Chris Paul an offseason later seeing as there isn’t one completely ridiculous matchup they need to prepare for. Kawhi NEVER GETS INJURED and probably remains a spur for his entire career, he got injured played the kd warriors the next season so that matchup may have never even happened if not for the kd signing. The raptors probably keep the derozan and Lowry backcourt together. Cousins might’ve continued to be a king without the whole “super team” trend and New Orleans trying to hop on the bandwagon. The grizzlies would be in a completely different situation seeing as they likely don’t trade gasol, and that would make them better the year they drafted JA which means they probably wouldn’t have ended up with him. Pelicans probably don’t end up with Zion either. If the Celtics didn’t end up trading for kyrie they might’ve actually valued Isaiah Thomas and allowed for him to get proper his rehab which would rob us of his playoff run in 2017 but he might still have a quality career. Wiggins is probably seen as a bust if he’s never on golden state, and Minnesota would be in a completely different situation rn. Gordon Hayward might’ve not gotten his career ruined by injury either if he hadn’t signed with the Celtics, which would be less likely without kyrie to incentivize him (still possible tho because of Brad stevens). The butterfly affect is ridiculous man. Kyrie probably still wants out cuz he’s corny

[@RenegadeHOU]

the lillard line 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@bmillz6243]

You being back in general produces so much joy

[@RenegadeHOU]

2016 slam dunk contest

[@tpsam]

Amazing this video is a masterpiece almost as good as the 2016 season itself It was a crazy year for sports in general in Europe Leicester won the premier League Totti retired IMO as the Goat of Italian football In an heart breaking ceremony with the whole stadium crying in sadness Rome didn't care so much for a guy since Caesar Augustus probably Then I think Olympics Usain bolt last gold and many more Go Google any big sports event from 2016 something monumental and historical happened in almost every league

[@ejayyoutube]

the warriors are the first and only 73-9 team in nba history which is the best regular season record ever but in the same season they are also the first team to blew a 3-1 lead in the finals

[@CLYMA1.5CHAINZ]

[@nikaoharbour6962]

Steph KD February game is top 5 or 10 greatest sports games ever

[@danieldanielson2324]

Steph was making about $12 million. A NBA champion and unanimous MVP with the most crazy shooting splits was making $12 million. That’s how they got KD. Steph didn’t get his bag yet per his contract.

[@andylee7861]

damn no mentions to andrew bogut getting injured during the finals? sadge. no rim protection caused them to lose the finals ngl

How did you not mention the greatest dunk contest of all time

[@lorddevil863]

As a Warriors fan, lets not talk about 2016. I prefer 2022.

[@boltavoltabolt]

If the Jazz won, they still wouldn't make it because they lose the tiebreaker for the 8th seed

[@dxtremecaliber]

also Kawhi on his 2nd straight DPOY award and Duncan retired on the same season its just a shame that didnt they passed the 2nd round that year cuz i believe they can beat the Warriors i think the Spurs will not choke against them because the very next year Kawhi have a MVP season leads them in 2nd seed 61 win team again blew them out in the first game of the season and blew them out in the Game 1 of the 2017 WCF until he got hurt

[@spurguvitunhuora9119]
