i kinda think if you swapped kg and duncan for the magic it would make more sense due to kg not wasting his prime in a trash wolves squad and in 03 the finals of kg vs duncan would be one of the greatest matchups of all time. Also i still don't think this stops the 08 celtics due to grant hills injuries and tmac could still go to houston if kg leaves.
Tmac needs to name his autobiography ‘What if’. Talk about the raptors with Vince. Orlando with Timmy and G. Hill and Houston with Yao. And if he lasted longer without injuries
Tracy "What If" McGrady shit my nigga most unluckiest player of all time i've been his fan since "98 and it was fucking frustrating especially pistons hawks knicks spurs days smh
Cody Smith Webber wasn't a very good 3 point shooter he shot less then .300 for his career. He shot below .250 from deep when he played with Sacramento, and the only time he played with another good post player was in Sacramento with Vlade Divac.
Note that I said "had he worked on it". He would shoot them back in the day, but if he worked on mastering it, he could've very well been a much better shooter from outside.
That's a fair point I just think that in order to be effective playing with Shaq Webber would have had to change his game to much and the Magic still wouldn't have had the guard play to get them the ball and balance the offense.
Just imagine if the raptors allowed both T Mac and carter to run the offense? I know what you going to say oh they was similar probably would’ve never worked. I think the raptors shitted on themselves for allowing t Mac to walk. I know he wanted his own team and all of that but if you bring in a respective coaching staff that would sell a dream to the pair I believe that they would of stayed together and would of probably change the 2000
Here's a cool butterfly effect I read once: What if the New Jersey Nets drafted Kobe Bryant. They apparently almost did but ended up going with Kerry Kittles. I'd imagine since Kittles was much better out of the gate with Kobe they don't get the 1 empty playoff appearance they got but do get 2 lottery picks. In '97 they can draft T-Mac! Year 3 Kobe starts coming into his own and the Nets can probably still make the Marbury trade mid-year and maybe they make the playoffs. That's a pretty impressive core, maybe they still decide to make the Kidd trade, maybe they don't since it's uncertain how he fits. But that's a championship core, so the east gets it's powerhouse. Who knows, maybe the Nets don't even move to Brooklyn.
With Grant Hill I think he pushed himself back to early and knowing that TMac and Duncan are there to hold it down he probably wouldn't push himself to get back so early and been more careful about it because Phoenix was able to fix him while he was older but also no pressure to come back. So I think the psychological implications that come from not carrying Orlando on his back would help him to take it slower and be healthy.
The magic go from getting swept 4-0 in 95 to world champs cause of Weber?? I’m not sure that’s accurate maybe win a game or two but to assume 3 games or 4 idk bout all that. The 00’s magic scenario seemed plausable/reasonable though good vid
Paradox R.N.O that piston team win was the biggest surprise for me that decade. I thought when grant hill left, pistons would be in the nba basement for years. It turned out to be the opposite. Man Tmac said he made a mistake leaving toronto but he didnt have info on grant hill ankle. Danm those fila sneakers.lol just tmac and hill alone would have given magic a title.
The 90s Bulls’ weakness in the paint is the reason why their front office contacted the league front office about Miami acquiring Juwan Howard and his contract in 97 to pair him with Mourning...and that trade got shut down by technicalities a la CP3 to the Lakers...later on in those playoffs the Bulls beat the Heat in the ECF 4-1...
Shaq didn't want to play with C Webb so he would've probably left anyway... . they both need the ball and are stars. Who was gonna get them the ball? Shaq with a guard is better. That's why he wanted penny. No finals without penny
Tmac would've developed in to more of a Scottie pippen type player which was what he was supposed to be in Toronto Adding him with Kobe Shaq and Phil would have been unfair
It wouldn't work. Shaq and Kobe couldn't even make it together for very long, do you really think adding another ball dominant player would really help?
Dawg your vids are dope. You look at basketball history and different possibilities of outcomes through different unbiased perspectives and all through factual opinions. Keep it up
Also this would have effected the west in the early 2000s. The lakers would have been irrelevant which means the spurs would have been in the finals even more times. The only thing stopping the spurs in the early 2000s was the lakers. Had the lakers not been relavent. I think we would have saw not 1 but a few finals between Duncan and Shaq.
Questioning, the jail, blazers talent? Their bench players were Zach, Randolph, and Jermaine, O’Neal, Scottie Pippen, that Russian, that in his prime, was considered maybe one of the best players of all time Rasheed Wallace?
actually, never mind the fact that they could had chris bosh, but mehmet okur was a great player in his prime and an all star and people forget he was on that team in 2004. i know keeping him would been expensive but they could have freed up some cap to re-sign him and of course at the time they had to keep rasheed to re-sign. they also had mike james. that team was so stacked even with that horrible draft pick but they let a couple significant players go that could have had them winning more than one championship. god. those were the times. the dynasty that never happened.
If Duncan went to the magic it would definitely make things more exciting. Also it would help the city later on with not having to deal with the whole Dwight Howard scenario
What if the favored Celtics won the 1997 draft lottery and drafted Tim Duncan instead of the Spurs. The Celtics build around him and the rivalry with the lakers adds a new chapter. Shaq/Kobe Lakers vs. Duncan’s Celtics. Perhaps Ric Pitino would have remained their coach into the 2010s too.
Vro you need to start making What-Ifs, I know the video Archetype has been run dry, but you have some completely different concepts I'd love to see the Webber-O'Neal situation played out, Idek if I'd have the ability to pull it off myself though.
Well Shaq wouldn't have wanted another big man.He always wanted a great guard with him and he thrived with that.He asked the magic to get penny,Jerry west to get kobe and luckily got traded to the heat where he had Wade.He won all his champs with Hof sgs even though he would have won the first championship without Kobe but he loved having good guards.
Len Walker no Shaq went to la the year Kobe was drafted.Hetild Jerry west he would go to LA if they drafted a guard,and so west being the amazing manager he was he drafted Kobe so Shaq would play for the Lakers.
Len Walker my bad I put Kobe was drafted by LA.As I was saying though west got a guard and Shaq went to LA in FA like u said but he went because he didn't like playing with penny anymore and the magic didn't give him the deal he wanted.Shaq was offered more money by LA and they traded washed divac and got Kobe and Shaq signed with them.
Jayylennn good queation. I say yes because hes from orlando area and waa home sick and hated toronto. At the time toronto was not as appealling as it is today to these nba players
The thing about drafting Webber instead of penny is that their starting pg would be Scott skiles. In 1995 and 96 penny was all NBA first team so the magic wouldn't be as good and shaq would still probably leave
Shaq and Webber sound great together on paper but their playing styles at that time were way to similar to each other. People seem to forget that Shaq wasn't just a back to the basket center when he was with Orlando, he was kind of a center, power forward hybrid. Plus they had no guards to get them the ball and spread the defense out so they would have room to work.
Chris Bosh hella disrespcted high key. Him on that pistons team would have been amazing basketball. He could have quickly developed into a better player than sheed.
Shaq and Webber might have been the same as A.D. And Boogie now. Perfectly mediocre. Or since play styles were different in the 90's, would they do better?
Did you say at 4:14 that the Lakers won the 04 finals? That was the Pistons. Although you might be correct since I have a killer headache and can't think straight.

What happen to the old intro?
What was the name of the old intro?
If duncan would've joined the magic, are we assuming that they still aquire Dwight howard in 2004?
i kinda think if you swapped kg and duncan for the magic it would make more sense due to kg not wasting his prime in a trash wolves squad and in 03 the finals of kg vs duncan would be one of the greatest matchups of all time. Also i still don't think this stops the 08 celtics due to grant hills injuries and tmac could still go to houston if kg leaves.
Dom2k Ben Wallace wasn’t traded. He signed a contract with the Bulls following the 05-06 season.
Tmac needs to name his autobiography ‘What if’. Talk about the raptors with Vince. Orlando with Timmy and G. Hill and Houston with Yao. And if he lasted longer without injuries
facts his whole career is a what if lol
Ray Allen missing the game tying three in 2013
Whatgg123 Veteran Bench help, it actually helps
Every Monday and what if doc rivers didnt fuck up and prevented the signing of tim duncan in orlando
Tracy "What If" McGrady shit my nigga most unluckiest player of all time i've been his fan since "98 and it was fucking frustrating especially pistons hawks knicks spurs days smh
“Wassup NBA fans Dom2k on the mic...”
Baller4Life I read that in his voice
Baller4Life *wussup
Baller4Life “Wussup Dom2k fans NBA on the mic”.... ah shit
ahliiiiee. you know you finna just get your mind blown with some crazy ball facts
6 smooth scenarios on how to plug seat geek seamlessly into your videos
Raunak164 Except for it wasn't seamlessly. Nice try though
What if Steve Nash stayed with Dallas?
Khalid Ahmed We win in 06 and possibly 07
Andre Novacaine not 06 the refs wasn’t gonna let it happen
He would never have been overhyped by Suns system.
Shaq said in the 30 for 30, that he didn't want to share the paint with Chris Webber, so the magic traded him for Penny
Webber could shoot the 3-ball though & had he worked on it, it could've been a key piece of his offense.....
Cody Smith Webber wasn't a very good 3 point shooter he shot less then .300 for his career. He shot below .250 from deep when he played with Sacramento, and the only time he played with another good post player was in Sacramento with Vlade Divac.
Note that I said "had he worked on it". He would shoot them back in the day, but if he worked on mastering it, he could've very well been a much better shooter from outside.
That's a fair point I just think that in order to be effective playing with Shaq Webber would have had to change his game to much and the Magic still wouldn't have had the guard play to get them the ball and balance the offense.
Havent watched yet but Duncan joins the magic better be on one of these vids
I'd rather have prime Penny than prime Webber. If he isn't injured and Shaq stays, minimum of 4 championships.
Wyatt Corbin Penny in Golden State with Don Nelson nellie ball would be interesting but yup your right
problem was in 96 penny got hurt post shaq so webber was a better player actually....penny did play well in 2000 for the suns
Webber and Shaq Are to Similar They can’t play together They both Need the ball
Just instantly liked this video. Dom is one of the best NBA RUclipsrs out there and deserves more subs.
Dom2k said the Pistons only made one finals but they went to the finals back to back in 04-05
Blunder true
He also said they didn't make a finals until after 05
@@LiiftYourself what is the Pistons would've drafted Dwyane Wade at the number two spot?
@Thomas Sankara melo would be a horrible fit for them bosh would be a much better fit for them
@Thomas Sankara lmao he would be considering the pistons play hard nosed defense and they are missing a player at the pf spot not the sf
I actually remember hearing Webber say in that interview saying that Shaq knew they would dominate as teammates.
Well, magic fans got screwed. They shouldn’t watch this...😂
The bucks couldve had a ray allen and dirk duo for years to come but they traded dirk on draft night lol
Talent wise tracy was one of the best ever. What couldve been...
Leon Wang I said one of... prime tmac > prime kobe tho
Tmac had no true prime tho.
T-Mac talent wise was the best ever. a 6'8 Kobe
Ilija Petrovic shut up
you shutup len walker..
What’s the background music? It’s so dope
Starship Phoenix from Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal.
The thing about CWeb abd Shaq is dat Shaq didnt want another big man there and was unhappy when the Magic drafted C Web.
Just imagine if the raptors allowed both T Mac and carter to run the offense? I know what you going to say oh they was similar probably would’ve never worked. I think the raptors shitted on themselves for allowing t Mac to walk. I know he wanted his own team and all of that but if you bring in a respective coaching staff that would sell a dream to the pair I believe that they would of stayed together and would of probably change the 2000
Jay Ramirez the magic one would have been better.
Say no more ruclips.net/video/gK1MJPGqSLE/видео.html
Dom, a possible video idea. NBA What Ifs scenario where super teams formed during MJ's Bull run. What if Utah got one more player or the blazers. etc
Caleb King like this idea. Hell, do a video for each decade/era. Super Teams What Ifs?! Excelsior!
Or the sonics
Anytime DOM, MIKE, and JXMY posts, I’m in!!!
C H R I S Vlogs 💯

DOM2K HAS COME BACK
Dom you need to do a 2k my team sim with the Magic big 3 scenario.
MACAVEL1 yesss bro he needs to
Part 2 better have what if the malice of the palace didn’t happen
The Answer Iverson Check up MDJ ' s what if video on that topic .
The magic go from getting swept 4-0 in 95 to world champs cause of Weber??
I’m not sure that’s accurate maybe win a game or two but to assume 3 games or 4 idk bout all that. The 00’s magic scenario seemed plausable/reasonable though good vid
Magic could have won that series with Penny had Anderson not missed 4 free throws. That shifted the momentum and the Magic's confidence collapsed
@@Sephiroth766 Had That Been Michael Jordan In Nick Anderson's Spot Jordan Would've Sank All 4
I kind of have to disagree on the Blazers having less star power. That Blazers team was deep with players.
aznpikachu215 DEEP
aznpikachu215 they didn't have any stars just like the pistons that beat the Lakers they just had depth
Paradox R.N.O lol. Rasheed Wallace was a star. They say Arvydas Sabonis might be the best player to ever play.lol
NewEarth Son I know that but if you go back and really think about it they had good teams then Sun's
Kings
Mavericks
Spurs
The west was great
Paradox R.N.O that piston team win was the biggest surprise for me that decade. I thought when grant hill left, pistons would be in the nba basement for years. It turned out to be the opposite.

That Orlando big 3 would've been good competiton for the Lakers
You should talk about McGrady going to the Sixers
That magic team would be nuts
Shaq didn't want to play with C Webb so he would've probably left anyway... . they both need the ball and are stars. Who was gonna get them the ball? Shaq with a guard is better. That's why he wanted penny. No finals without penny
TMAC, Kobe, and Shaq! We talking a minimum of 5 rings together
Lil Dagga you sure they could play together?
Tmac would've developed in to more of a Scottie pippen type player which was what he was supposed to be in Toronto
Adding him with Kobe Shaq and Phil would have been unfair
It wouldn't work. Shaq and Kobe couldn't even make it together for very long, do you really think adding another ball dominant player would really help?
Dawg your vids are dope. You look at basketball history and different possibilities of outcomes through different unbiased perspectives and all through factual opinions. Keep it up
Can we see a what if video for the Duncan T Mac Hill big three?
Dom2k goat
I’ve ALWAYS wanted to see what a magic team with Shaq and C Webb could do. Thank you for helping everyone see that.
Love the video as usual Dom, lookin forward to part 2
Nice video bro
Cant wait for next year when part 2 comes out! Jk dom nice vid.
we need what if scenarios of 2010s era!
Reggie Miller and the Pacers would've still made the finals tho cuz McGrady didn't join the Magic till 2000-2001
Oooohhhhhh I’ve been waiting for one of dom 2k’s what ifs for a while now
One of the best basketball videos I’ve ever watched, so well thought out
William Z You must not watch very many basketball videos then
Another great video. To be expected at this point.
Just copped an OG LeBron Athletic Case. Looks even better on my phone than in the ad. Thanks Dom!
Imagine if the magic kept shaq and hardaway doesnt get hurt starting five of hardaway mcgrady hill duncan and shaq
Also this would have effected the west in the early 2000s. The lakers would have been irrelevant which means the spurs would have been in the finals even more times. The only thing stopping the spurs in the early 2000s was the lakers. Had the lakers not been relavent.
I think we would have saw not 1 but a few finals between Duncan and Shaq.
Man, Dom you deserve 10x the subs, keep it up!
Bosh is arguably a top 20 top 15 power foward of all time
finally someone talks about Shaq/Webber combo...
Bruh Horace Grant was a championship forward and Shaq still couldn’t stop The Dream
As a Spurs fan, I think the 2000s were awesome. As hard as it was losing to the lakers in the playoffs, those matchups were classic.
yooo, watching this video as im working on my blog
Questioning, the jail, blazers talent? Their bench players were Zach, Randolph, and Jermaine, O’Neal, Scottie Pippen, that Russian, that in his prime, was considered maybe one of the best players of all time Rasheed Wallace?
actually, never mind the fact that they could had chris bosh, but mehmet okur was a great player in his prime and an all star and people forget he was on that team in 2004. i know keeping him would been expensive but they could have freed up some cap to re-sign him and of course at the time they had to keep rasheed to re-sign. they also had mike james. that team was so stacked even with that horrible draft pick but they let a couple significant players go that could have had them winning more than one championship. god. those were the times. the dynasty that never happened.
Ayyy
Last time I was this early the CAVS could play defense
If Duncan went to the magic it would definitely make things more exciting. Also it would help the city later on with not having to deal with the whole Dwight Howard scenario
I would Pay 10,000 To See this Dream League
It's always a good day when Dom uploads
Great video Dom
I wasn't aware that Tim Duncan could have played for Orlando. That would have been an amazing thing to watch had it actually happened.
What if the favored Celtics won the 1997 draft lottery and drafted Tim Duncan instead of the Spurs. The Celtics build around him and the rivalry with the lakers adds a new chapter. Shaq/Kobe Lakers vs. Duncan’s Celtics. Perhaps Ric Pitino would have remained their coach into the 2010s too.
Man out of 6 of these 5 are East coast teams.
Another great vid
I know I'm not the only one who saw Kobe get shook at 9:27
Banger alert 🚨 🔥
an Orlando fan can dream, cant he?
I would of loved seen that Orlando big three
Dude Shaq and Webber blew my damn mind. Hakeem was a beast but idk if he could've dealt with that.
I mean, the Lakers actually won two actual championships, because I'm a biased Chris Webber fan.
Wyatt Corbin lol. Lets say 1. Blazera in 2000 was fixed.lol
Vro you need to start making What-Ifs, I know the video Archetype has been run dry, but you have some completely different concepts
I'd love to see the Webber-O'Neal situation played out, Idek if I'd have the ability to pull it off myself though.
That lead into the seat geek app made exactly zero sense. Other than that you're killing it bro, keep up the good work
Well Shaq wouldn't have wanted another big man.He always wanted a great guard with him and he thrived with that.He asked the magic to get penny,Jerry west to get kobe and luckily got traded to the heat where he had Wade.He won all his champs with Hof sgs even though he would have won the first championship without Kobe but he loved having good guards.
He was pretty good in the short time he played with Karl Malone, then again Kobe was still there so who knows?
BBQBlaze KyleG Kobe was on the Lakers before Shaq lol
Len Walker no Shaq went to la the year Kobe was drafted.Hetild Jerry west he would go to LA if they drafted a guard,and so west being the amazing manager he was he drafted Kobe so Shaq would play for the Lakers.
Kobe was traded to the Lakers and then two-three weeks later Shaq arrived via free agency
Len Walker my bad I put Kobe was drafted by LA.As I was saying though west got a guard and Shaq went to LA in FA like u said but he went because he didn't like playing with penny anymore and the magic didn't give him the deal he wanted.Shaq was offered more money by LA and they traded washed divac and got Kobe and Shaq signed with them.
You should add "what if Jerry West got has way and was able to draft Tracy McGrady to the Lakers"
And Where Would That Leave Poor Kobe I Know For Certain That Kobe Hates Charlotte
Does TMac still sign with the magic if they had C Webb and Shaq ?
Jayylennn good queation. I say yes because hes from orlando area and waa home sick and hated toronto. At the time toronto was not as appealling as it is today to these nba players
If T Mac stayed with Orlando and if they could’ve gotten Tim Duncan , damn .. that trade should’ve happen but it didn’t happen
Lol 2k 19 forgot Chris Bosh!🤣I hope they add him.
More vids Dom!
The thing about drafting Webber instead of penny is that their starting pg would be Scott skiles. In 1995 and 96 penny was all NBA first team so the magic wouldn't be as good and shaq would still probably leave
Shaq and Webber sound great together on paper but their playing styles at that time were way to similar to each other. People seem to forget that Shaq wasn't just a back to the basket center when he was with Orlando, he was kind of a center, power forward hybrid. Plus they had no guards to get them the ball and spread the defense out so they would have room to work.
Haven’t watched video but already know Grant Hill being healthy is up there
Time to light a fat blunt and listen to da GOAT 😎
Great video
So in a nutshell: the magic choked becoming one of the most dominant franchises ever lol
Chris Bosh hella disrespcted high key. Him on that pistons team would have been amazing basketball. He could have quickly developed into a better player than sheed.
Great video Dom! I hate how people always sleep on G Hill
Shaq and Webber might have been the same as A.D. And Boogie now. Perfectly mediocre. Or since play styles were different in the 90's, would they do better?
Part 2
Vince Carter and T-Mac staying in Toronto
Ben Wallace wasn’t traded. He signed a contract with the Bulls following the 2005-2006 season.
Another dom2k banger
Detroit didn't trade Wallace he signed with Chicago
Ben Wallace wasn't traded he left in free agency
1:45 David Wesley lmao that 07 team was fuckign ass how the hell did Lebrun do it
It seems Magic should have won a lot of championships from 90s to 08 😂
Tmac should be in the hof
Did you say at 4:14 that the Lakers won the 04 finals? That was the Pistons. Although you might be correct since I have a killer headache and can't think straight.
As a Pistons fan 6 hurts my soul.
Ben Wallace didn’t get traded... he signed with the bulls
