[@rustybuckets]

Before you leave a comment. I made this video 7 months before mike korzemba made this what if. So no, i didn't steal it from korzemba. Nor did he steal it from me. This what if idea is a well known one. Nobody owns it, so nobody stole from anyone. Thank you

[@ninjarabbids]

Good call man. I will say this. It would be very fun to compare on how different on how you and Korzemba took this what if. I might do a video and credit both of you if I do it.

[@sms8707]

Tell us who wins mvp during each season

[@chickhearn4ever779]

what if you didn't speak in monotone?

[@gabrielbondyb8646]

Rusty Buckets I really like how you two do these what ifs and how you two keep track of everything and how the players stats would have changed if this was to happen

[@NealBones]

So in other words, you stole Korzembas trademarked idea? Disgusting.

[@treydutton1051]

So basically, if Lebron goes to college. Then the east GM's suddenly know how to draft players, and build talent like the west in real life

[@NNOutBurger_Gaming]

Trey Dutton right

[@jayvon221]

Trey Dutton there are alot wrong with this video

[@eyeconqueror1185]

Orlando is not as bad an organization as you might think

[@MCFoultier]

@@eyeconqueror1185 lol

[@claytonbinner]

The NFL did this wild video of what if the Cowboys didn’t pass on Randy Moss in the 1998 and it pretty much went down a rabbit hole of they get Bill Belicheck after he resigned from the Jets, they draft Tom Brady in 2000 and Brian Urlacher in 2001 and win a bunch of championships. So this is essentially just the same type of revisionism.

[@rustybuckets]

*opens a lebron what if video with 4 clips of kobe bryant* obvious kobe fan is obvious also shout out to my ''thumbnail designer'' who gave me a shitty thumbnail for this video than blocked me on twitter after asking for him to make some changes. i really appreciated that. i really liked how he kept my money as well. anyways. follow me on twitter-twitter.com/RustyBUCKETS321

[@ABCDEF-kl1hi]

darko wouldn't go to Cleveland since they have to many big men. they would actually take melo and the pistons would still take darko. the nuggets get wade and bosh still goes to the raptors.

[@dannyfanta1369]

Yeah I was just thinking that

[@ronaldedwinalberto6348]

agree

[@dylancrow7353]

WKPW Productions what are you talking about

[@insanemind5066]

Darko definitely would have went first lol

[@bebopman5]

This Magic team would've beaten the 2010-2011 Mavs because the Magic was already Lebron's team and he already won a championship. He wouldn't have such a meltdown as he did in real life; that happened because he was still on the wall about it being his team or Wade's team and playing into being the villain, which affected his demeanor and his game. Without that uncertainty, there is no "Lebron falling apart" in those Finals.

[@KmoneyB12]

I laughed so hard that durant went to Cleveland in this alternate story, that's some funny irony. but this was hella good man, I love this kind of videos

[@thebestkidever8075]

[@icok8475]

Doubt it darko was touted as one of the best picks in awhile. People were saying he would be a sure fire first pick if lebron didn't exist

Rusty Buckets I'm glad the Pistons didn't take Carmelo he wouldn't be as good on that stacked team

[@rustybuckets]

King JLH he might not produce as much, but i think he would takea few rings in exchange for less minutes and production

@@MontChillin nah if Lebron is on the court it will always be the Lebron system

[@marcus.marcus6361]

This was my favorite what if scenario and I completely agree worth everything except the 2011 finals because I believe lebron wouldn't have chocked since he had already proven that he can win a ring

[@kylekylelam2757]

But he might merit a chance to evolve if he was being mocked for choking.

[@sergiovelecico2884]

A team of Lebron,CP3,Bosh,Marc gasol,kawhi would literally be impossible to stop 😂

[@steveshams4690]

There's an alternate reality where this really happened, and that's where I want to live. LeBron on the Magic would've been better for him and Orlando than him on the Cavs and Heat.

[@sani337]

Steve Shams you want to live in a reality with a team more toxic then the 17 Warriors? Unless you r a magic fan... you do you

[@RealCGH]

This team is worse then the heat bruh this sounds like a horrifying alternate universe

[@tuneunleashed]

@@RealCGH Trust me, LeBron in Orlando is 5 rings. People like to play in humid climates and Orlando is that climate.

[@jimmymeinhart4265]

Derrick Rose was on track to perhaps being one of the best point guards of all time. He competed against the Miami Big Three in the ECF. He would’ve definitely gotten MVPs later on in his career if he didn’t get injured.

[@rax_xd449]

Jimmy M. He already won an mvp award🤦‍♂️

[@colegarcia2243]

The warriors would have taken curry anyways because they weren't planning on taking johnny flynn

yeah, found that out after making this video 4 months ago

[@LiamGO]

That ghost from Chicago scalabrine caught me off guard and had me crying

[@dannycooper8253]

What if LeBron was drafted by DETROIT?! OH MY GOODNESS!!! He would have 5 titles the first five years of his career and would very quickly be considered the goat!

[@spyyadyc5229]

Danny Cooper or he’d win 2 off the back and have to carry a weak team after the pistons age just like Melo would theoretically

[@JordanJohnsonNCBornReady]

I mean that many stars on Lebron's team and no salary cap worries that would 100x worse than the Warriors.

[@JordanJohnsonNCBornReady]

I would probably quit watching the NBA after that.

[@JaidenOnYoutube]

Jordan NCBornReady and they somehow got beat

[@JordanJohnsonNCBornReady]

Jaiden J. Yeah 😂😂 That was funny!

[@trvspvrk]

CP3, LeBron, Kawhi, Bosh, & Gasol with Ray Allen off the bench? that's literally the all star team lol

[@BIG_BLACK_HERO]

The lesson here.....stay in school kids!

[@undeadsniperrr4455]

jovan jones this is in accurate just because of how many different variables there are

[@giovannic1040]

This is a great video but some playoff moments were a little inaccurate, like how the Mavs still beat LeBron, the main reason most people think that LeBron didn't play well is because of the pressure of haters of him joining the Heat, but since he stayed loyal to the Magic, that would've most likely not been the case, and for the 2012-13 season, ur telling me that LeBron, Leonard, and Chris Bosh would've still not gone to the Finals, that was arguably LeBron's best year

[@707milly2]

Giovannic10 I agree check my curry still goes to gs comment bro

[@22BCMF]

Giovannic10 plus there wouldn’t be that pressure on him cause he’s already won one and been to the finals twice, he’s experience

[@deciphertwentythree7726]

@@22BCMF I am pretty sure it was becoz tyson chandler was on the paint and Marion was defending him in the perimeter.

[@hollywood0239]

As a Mavericks fan I would be perfectly fine reliving my life from that point just for this to happen

[@97ejohnson]

A lebron, cp3, and kawhi team would never lose they'd all have 6 to 7 rings

[@danieldeleyto]

Elias Johnson especially with one of the best centers in the leauge at that time

[@adison_4134]

Elias Johnson exactly definitely would have beat the mags and probably the wolves that one time also would have made pretty much every finals

[@montecampbell1943]

As a Chris Paul fan, i really wished this happened. If it did then people would put him in the top 5 point guards of all time list with him being a two time champion

[@rustybuckets]

Monte Campbell hes probobly gonna end up on that list without the chips. At least temporarily before curry could take his place

[@dylmanthekrazyguy1630]

See the only problem with the whole scenario is that the magic front office would have to be competent and cap space would probley not work

LEBRON TO THE MAGIC WOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE!

[@iamncj3897]

So for the magic a salary cap doesn't exist ok 😅

[@rustybuckets]

TriggerTrey ill admit i didnt pay enough attention to salary in this what if. But u have to consider the fact that kawhi and gasol wouldn't have been as good on the magic with less touches. And i think they could afford lebron cp3 and bosh if they go into the luxury

[@tecs513]

Rusty Buckets No, they wouldn't even come close. Orlando is not at ALL a large market, so their HARD CAP back then was around like 65 million, there's not even a chance that they would be able to afford SIX really good players

Paper Boat that's really for the sake of making the video shorter. If i tried to cover 15+ teams in one what if over the span of 15 years the video would be 3 damn years long

[@paperboat8158]

Makes sense. But still, with no Kyrie, the first guy to go play PG for the Magic in this scenario would not be CP3. It'd be Bledsoe, LeBron's good friend. Which, for example, spares the Suns the 3 starting point guard mess and has them keeping Isaiah Thomas, Dragic, or both, and stuff like that... Anyways, thanks for the response.
