If you had the power to answer one of the great what-ifs in nba history, what would you choose? (alien.top)

For me it’s Derrick Rose’s career if he hadn’t been injured. The youngest mvp in history with some of the most electric basketball we’ve ever seen, it feels a little like robbery to have not been able to see that unfold.

What if Jordan never got bored and retired/was shadow suspended (if you believe the conspiracy theories). Would the Bulls have won 8 straight? 6? How would Hakeem's career been perceived if they couldn't beat the Bulls instead of getting Ewing and a not yet ready to win Shaq?

I am confident if he would’ve played 1984-2003 with no breaks, they would’ve won 9 straight in the ‘90s and the LeBron longevity argument wouldn’t be as impactful. He averaged 20/6/4 in 82 games in his last season at 40. Now imagine those numbers if he hadn’t taken those seasons off in between the Bulls and Wiz and stayed in better shape up until that point.

And he would have gone for 10 with the whole world believing he would get it.

Two away from reaching Bill Russell is kinda tempting.
