the Miami Heat were in the Western Conference for their inaugural season in 1988, they were in the midwest Division. then the next year (1989), the NBA moved them to the Eastern Conference
The reason Jordan couldn't wear 23 or 45 for the Rockets was simple. Calvin Murphy wore 23 and the Rockets retired that number in 1984. Rudy Tomjanovich wore 45 and that number was retired in 1982. These were the first two numbers the Rockets retired as a franchise.
I haven't played an NBA video game in over a decade but when I first heard this "what if" I wanted to get a game and try it. The Rockets were originally willing to go with two centers (Sampson and Olajuwon), so I wonder if there's a chance that they would have done the trade and taken Sam Bowie since they already would have had Drexler. But Bowie had some question marks, so maybe they would have taken Sam Perkins or Charles Barkley there...
Was on my way to do my nightly routine when I went onto youtube to find a good video to watch as I did it. After a good 5 or so minutes of searching for content, I refreshed my suggested page and ‘twas there when I saw it; a brand new Clique Productions video. Elated, I then began my routine before I sleep soundly knowing I can watch the rest of tis video in the morn.
In mine Mike got drafted by Trail Blazers, went to Rockets and finished career on Lakers. At one point on the Rockets,, he had both Bird and Magic with him.
34:36 yeah apparently, it says here "The team was launched in 1988 and played in the 1988-89 season of the National Basketball Association. The next season they moved from the Western Conference to the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference." thats weird lol
Yoooo!!! It finally happened!!!!!! One of my 2 suggestions has happened. Thank you very much Clique Productions!!!!!! Now, Video 132 of suggesting What If Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan and Larry Bird were on the same team career simulation?
crazy how disrespectful 2k is to Penny. A healthy Penny had NEVER been an 88. MAYBE his first few months. But Penny game into the league as a legit superstar.
34:43 The Milwaukee Bucks were in the Western Conference during the the 70s, the conference finals would end up being Bucks-Lakers, the 1974 Finals was a matchup between the Bucks and Celtics. The past always has surprises. And of course my Bucks get screwed by 2k sims, nothing has changed 😢
Ralph Sampson is in the hall of fame and I agree if it wasn’t because of the injuries and the drug era of the NBA he’d be talked about more often man is 7’4” could move amazingly at his size… that’s just my opinion tho but yes I agree with u Clique 🙏
As a Houstonian and growing up in the 80s and 90s, that “what if” is the ultimate super team that’s organic. The team would win 8+ rings. It might prevent Magic, Kareem, Bird, and Isaiah from winning rings.
Better than that, what happens if the Blazers landed the number 1 pick and chose Hakeem? Prime Clyde and Hakeem together would mean Jordan gets zero rings.
Yes guys, Portland already had Clyde, but a Clyde-Jordan duo could've been bron and wade before them if you think about it. Either one is tall enough to play the 2 or 3 so you wouldn't have to move one to the bench. Always going to be one of the biggest what-ifs. Good content per usual tho Cliq 👌. I second an idea someone else stated where ai and t-mac are teammates or ai, t-mac , and KG For any future videos with Jordan and 23 and 45 aren't available, he also wore #9 during his Dream Team run
Maybe do it on park but you should run a family sim. Like the thompson father son, Bron & his kids, antetekoumpo family, Sabonis family, Bryant family, etc. who’s the best nba family?
Such realism on 2k23, they even put the dysfunctional Knicks' front office in the game. The Ewing trade is the peak of the simulation comedy 😆
lol facts
Coming from a Knicks fan: 🫥
Brutal 😂😂
Trading their pick to the Clippers when they could’ve drafted T-mac is hilarious too
Bro as a Knicks fan this is painfully true 😂😭
I'd love to see a Len Bias on the Celtics career sim. Or a Bird/Magic team up career sim.
Len Bias is the biggest “what if” in nba history. He could of extended the Celtics dynasty i think
He already did a Len Bias video.
@@LiquidLarry85 was it on 23?
@@LiquidLarry85 I also think this is true but I also understand that he had a drug problem
He did a Len Bias a while ago

Like the way you told this.
Elated, soundly 👌👍
Winston Garland is literally Darius Garland’s dad…
Jordan and Hakeem in real life might win 8 rings straight from 1990 to 1998
Yeah I’ve wondered about what if the bulls got Hakeem in the late 80’s, bc the bulls usually had the better team and coach
@user-fl9db4td1k , the Rockets had the better team until injuries, drugs, and a bad trade out of desperation weakened the team.
Hakeem simulations are ALWAYS top tier.

Also love the my league videos! So Day one WESTBROOK RESIM in MJ ERA
The Patrick Ewing trade tho LMFAO
“He just killed 2 families with that basketball”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Clique you my bro dawg.
Nothing but content.
💪🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻
Wayman Tisdale…WAYMAN!!🤣🤣🤣
My man actually hit on that PrizePicks bet
I became a hoops fan in 94, and when I read Hakeem's bio, I dreamed of this. Those two would definitely have run the NBA
It’s crazy they don’t put Jordan in his shoes.
In order for this scenario to happen, Ralph Sampson would have needed to be traded for Clyde Drexler.
You commented that fast af
@@DirtyDev that’s what I’m saying
dawg it’s the first thing he does in the video chill 💀
bro just watch the first few minutes before commenting putting a period and everything sound serious ash
Let us know u ain't watch the video before commenting without letting us know haha
yoooooooo wsg clique much love for makin another banger

Day one of asking for a Carlos Boozer career resimulation as a 99 overal
CLIQUE DROPPED A BANGER
I have been wanting this video since I started watching Clique during the pandemic!!!
I want to see a Jason Williams career re simulation next.
Sampson also made the HOF
Magic playing for the Clippers and Celtics in the same career sim makes me want to barf.

The Knicks have to be programmed to make the worst trades both in game and irl 😂

Len Bias career SIM on the celtics
Now that’s some sweet Championship Chuck action.
What if the Knicks didn’t get the first pick and get Patrick Ewing?
And then TRADE HIM AWAY for literally NOTHING
@@Tastyberger most realistic knicks move ever
great vid i loved it thx clique ur the goat # goat
Lovin this as a Rockets fan great stuff
another good one, woulda liked to see what Hakeem did in his last year without Jordan
Alternate title: how much flack would these players get for starting the super team era
Flack. Funny word
I was watching Clique production highlights when you reminded me to subscribe
Yo clique you need to do clique productions career sim you deserve one
I don’t know if you know but when you click the left stick in instant replay, it shows a cool camera angle
Its true…the 88-89 season the Heat were a Western Conference team due to them being an expansion team
YES FINALLY I ASKED FOR THIS VIDEO LIKE 2 YEARS AGO
YOU THE GOAT BUDDY!! just wanted to say hello and congrats on your success
Dude the heat were in the west their first season, that’s literally nuts lmao
Shaun Livingston resim with a lower bust percentage. Same with Jahlil Okafor in the 80s
Good call, and also if you put Shaun Livingston in the 80’s he’d be next level cause he was a mid range god and three point dumpster
Love the fact you got MJ playing in Converse. LOL
Ayoo Cliq , Do some what if Bron sign with knicks way back 2010 free agency
DADDY CLIQUE UPLOADED
Better than that, what happens if the Blazers landed the number 1 pick and chose Hakeem? Prime Clyde and Hakeem together would mean Jordan gets zero rings.
My God in real life this team would have been god's in the 80s. Possibly undefeated.
Ayoooo I was just thinking about recommending this the other day lol.
Yo I've been digging the videos
Road to 700k baby love your videos ♥️❤️😢
Ay yo that me at @49:53
This an interesting what if. This would be the greatest duo ever and they would have won many rings from the jump
Greatest trio ever

For any future videos with Jordan and 23 and 45 aren't available, he also wore #9 during his Dream Team run
Some good food for thought
And true dat about Jordan’s dream team #9
That would've been the first dream team.
I LOVE YOU CLIQUE
As a rockets fan this is my wet dream. Even if I wasn’t even alive back then
Don’t know if Clique actually placed those picks but if he did, he just picked up a cheeky $200 today lmao
The funny thing is that Houston team actually beat the Lakers in WCF in Hakeem"s second year in real life.
Asking once again for a Dennis Schröder Career Simulation

When i saw Kobe being drafted by the Knicks, in my head I'm like "watch them trade him away."
And the Knicks still find a way to give away great players…
Maybe do it on park but you should run a family sim. Like the thompson father son, Bron & his kids, antetekoumpo family, Sabonis family, Bryant family, etc. who’s the best nba family?
in all fairness the reason why the blazers didn't pick Jordan is because they had Clyde. wouldn't the same logic apply
“Akeem”
You should do the new MVP trophies team up. MJ, Magic and Bird.
8:40 most knicks trade I’ve ever seen
