Hey Guys! 1. I hope you enjoyed the video. 2. You may be wondering why I did a What If that involved Steph Curry, as I already did “What if Steph Curry went to the Knicks”. Well, the reason that I started making What Ifs in general was to show just how much the NBA would change with one change in the draft. With that said, I thought it would be cool to go even further and give you guys 2 what ifs about the same player so you could not only see the impact of the draft selection of a single player, but now you also have 2 what if scenarios to compare against each other. Again, hope you enjoyed it and feel free to leave suggestions about future videos down below! Mike
I absolutely love these videos and I hope you continue them. You could also do a video about if Lebron somehow went to the Pistons as the second pick. Keep up the great work!
sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot the login password. I would love any help you can give me!
Man drafts are a bitch. There's no way to be 100% sure who's going to pan out, and one wrong pick can be the difference between championships and 12 year playoff droughts.
hey Mike long time sub here just wanted to congratulate you on the 80k subs and you should make a what if klay Tompson was traded to minesota for kevin love p.s great content
Mike Korzemba And what if the pacers kept kawai leonard, or what if shaq never left orlando,What is the spurs never go ducan, what if the pistons took wade, Matter afact it doesn't matter what you do just keep the what if videos coming cause I will watch anything you make. Just keep the what-if videos coming. I check youtube everyday just to look at your channel. And who is your favorite team in the nba
TIM DUNCAN JUST RETIRED - do one for Timmy D. What if Tim Duncan went to BOSTON with their 15-67 record in 1997. (Add to that they didn't hire that crap coach Pitino and instead hired COTY Larry "Legend" Bird. With no Kentucky-fascination draft picks, Bird picked Tracy McGrady 6th that same draft instead of scrub Ron Mercer. You can pull the rest from there, but what if they traded for Steve Nash (3rd string behind KJ and Kidd then) giving their glaring weakness at Point Guard at that point with no Billups. Nash-Mcgrady-Rick Fox-Antoine Walker-Tim Duncan as their starting five. They go 38-44 and still draft Pierce 10th in 1998. Nash-McGrady-Pierce-Walker-Duncan how many championships?
+Allan Costa (WeirdPerson) well that's also another thing why does it have to be Jeremy lamb alwAys being responsible for the James harden trade? Maybe they could trade for someone different like maybe J J Redick cause back then j j was just as good or better than Harden!
mike. you have to remember that kawhi only became such a great player because of greg popovich. Without pop, kawhi would only be an good player, not a great one
he doesnt have to be good in this scenario, they drafted him solely because they needed a defensive wing, he's more likely to be a 3 and D guy in this team since they already have curry love and cousins that are much better scorers
He only covers blockbuster draft changes like kd to blazers, curry to Knicks/Wolves or melo to Pistons. Getting rid of Marvin Williams is neither a draft pick or a blockbuster move.
What if Penny Hardaway did not get traded to the Magic for Chris Webber who ended up on the Warriors on draft night? This would change a lot of things in the NBA!
Your "What Ifs" videos keep reminding me of the "Our Friend, Martin" movie we used to see back in the school days. For some reason. Maybe the dramatic background music
the Minnesota timberwolves aren't terrible they have karl Anthony towns kris dunn Zach lavine and Andrew wiggins they will be superstars in the nba even they will be in the finals this year I believe they will be legends watch just watch man they lose but they try their best to win garnet is gone but karl is going to lead for him
I like these fantasy scenarios, but I think even as Steph Curry early career he was very much not physically ready for the league, but his skill was still high and I think Mark Jackson is a key ingredient to his mentality toward the game I still think the Wolves with the lineup you propose would be better sooner as Love was a full on problem already, so giving him a capable ball handler, creator, floor stretching pg and a physically dominant center with skill changes things to the point they are contending for a playoff seed Cousins ROY season... Coaching, injuries, bad GMs making different decisions , etc makes these things difficult, but I'm subscribing, because I respect the effort.
Lmao Mike you really trashed the 76ers when they were tanking and as soon as they show signs of being good you hoped on The Process hype train Lmao ur the KD of RUclipsrs Great videos tho don't get me wrong lol
So the Wolves would've formed the greatest team ever? Way to go TWolves GM.
T wolves still have a lot of young talent
+Wyatt McCabe they still got one of the best young teams in the NBA as of now lol
Victor Fischer Missfeld They still hold the tile for the best potential
Victor Fischer Missfeld the GM was a sports reporter who somehow was our gm because we sucked
Victor Fischer Missfeld Well they picked up KAT which was an amazing choice !

Awesome vid mike!!! Gotta love the what ifs!!!! Thanks for the hard work!
+Mike Korzemba can u pls do what if memphis had gotten the 1st overall pick in the 2003 draft and selected lebron?
Could you do a what if Kobe wasn't Traded to the Lakers in honor of his retirement? I saw some other people suggest it too.
+TheAquaticNarwal That seems like it would be too difficult with literally 20 years of history changing drastically.
I absolutely love these videos and I hope you continue them. You could also do a video about if Lebron somehow went to the Pistons as the second pick. Keep up the great work!

+Dom2K For real man. Being a NBA GM is tough work
In hindsight, it's insane how in this scenario the Bucks still get Giannis and *also* end up with Embiid
Am I the only one that thought Johnny Flynn was KD
nope

Does the KD stand for

Shit
😵
Have to take into account chemistry issues. Looks amazing on paper but we will truly never know what would have happened.
I think they will be dynasty
alright Mike Korzemba, lots of years has passed. Now do a "What if LUKA DONCIC was drafted by the SUNS"
what if Cleveland didn't trade andrew wiggins for k love?
+kaiporohu Williams-Bragg idk he already did one of those for James for what if James never left.
Wiggins wouldnt be ROTY because of minutes
+4LMIGHYY S4V4GE what?! wiggins would be starting... jabari Parker was his only competition he tore his acl
+ReBorn HD Highlights Don't forget about Nikola Mirotic. He was close to winning ROTY.
yes and the goldenstate warriors traded klay tompson for kevin love from Minnesota
This is a fair video but why does Harden always seem to go to Phoenix Suns? Just a question
Ikr
+Omari Myers cause Jeremy lamb always gets drafted to the Suns
+Tom and Louis well he did play at Arizona State
+Filip Zikic lol true
+Allan Costa (WeirdPerson) well that's also another thing why does it have to be Jeremy lamb alwAys being responsible for the James harden trade? Maybe they could trade for someone different like maybe J J Redick cause back then j j was just as good or better than Harden!
What if Steve Kerr decided to coach for the Knicks instead of the Warriors?
I think we would've seen the Wolves get Jimmer in that 6th pick ngl. lol
Cant be the only one who misses these type of videos
The Hawks beating the Heat???? LMAO no way that sorry ass team defeats Lebron and DWade
😭😭😭😂😂😂
+ItzLiVeAF yeah i was thinking the same thing too. Plus all the free agents they wouldve attracted had they been a 3peat team like Pau Gasol

Yo the casual shade you throw is hilarious 😂😂
do what if memphis had gotten the 1st overall pick in the 2003 draft and selected lebron. like so he can see
+BJ Walker NBA is rigged. Cleveland had a 100% chance of getting that pick. Is it just coincidence that they got 3 number 1 picks in 4 years?
LongJohn Silverthorne yeah i know its rigged. d rose got drafted by the bulls even tho they had like a 1% chance of getting the 1st pick
Do "What if the Thunder kept James Harden" please.
Now that's what I want to see. With how recent it was I think it would allow him to go really in depth too.
Do another what if senario as what if Dwight Howard never left the magic
He still would be without a ring
+Jeffery Hendrix good point
And Shaq
Who’s here after the warriors made it back to the 2022 nba finals
This has to have been hard to edit, love your hard work man keep it up
I am about to cry as a Wolves fan

-Sincerely, Toronto
At that time neither of them were expected to become the superstars they are today
Kawahi was actually projected to be top 5 and some mocks had Washington talking him but they fucked up big time
Sorry how many championships do you guys have? Toronto has no right to tell anyone else they suck when they have nothing to boast about.
