Somehow, people still don't understand why the NBA was allowed to veto the Chris Paul Lakers trade (or why they were allowed to).
Here I explain all.

Dom2k yeah this was bs
Dom2k 🐐💪💯💯💯
Dom2k Congrats oh by the way loved the vid
Dom2k Dom200k
basically the nba needs to own all the teams so they can veto all future trades.
NBA robbed us of a Kobe vs LeBron finals
# 1 ALPHA they only had good records with bron mean while kobe had Dwight and gasol and couldn’t get out the first round
Wonder McThunder maybe cuz he tore his Achilles and don’t play for half the season
Man all 3 of the replies here are stupid. 1 Lebron didn’t have a “best team” at any point his first go around with the cavs (best record don’t mean best team). 2 Kobe didn’t play in the playoffs that year, he dragged that dysfunctional INJURED team there til his Achilles tore. 3 he didn’t miss half the season he barley missed the last week or 2. How can 3 people in a row post such stupid comments?
@# 1 ALPHA Lebron never lost in the first round. NEVER lost in the first round.
# 1 ALPHA You on drugs? How is finishing 2nd worse than getting bounced out in the first round?
Wow... just imagine. CP3 could have a ring, and Kobe could have 6 rings
The Real OG sike 😂
ZuffyG lol
The Real OG OKC would've swept them.
Russell Westbrook Fan since 2010 😤💪
#facts
A league shouldn’t be in the position to be allowed to own a team that plays in that league in the first place.
Jordy Lont right but the other option was removing the team from NO. Is that what you want ?
Daniel Clark sure
Daniel Clark yes
Daniel Clark not necessarily but tough luck. That kinda thing just happens.
Daniel Clark We the fans say yes.
This is the reason Kobe blew out his Achilles. He played way to many minutes for Mike d because the rest of his team was trash at this point
RAID3R63 Yeah, where with Chris Paul he could atleast not play that hard and possibly even attract other role players later
Kobe would still have played as many minutes being the competitor he was, but him n cp3 maybe would have won a chip
@@bigboner23 yeah defo would've played as many minutes if not more, but they would have been easier minutes if he was sharing the ball with cp3 and have him help with the offensive plays
RAID3R63 thank u
@@KhanRussmaybe not as much. At one point he was playing 46 minutes a nights plenty of full 48 minute games doing literally everything
chris paul AND kobe?
next thing youll tell me is that chris paul will someday team up with a mvp candidate shooting guard
oh boy, do i have news for you.
Lifes a Beach overall, yes, but not 2012 kobe
Lifes a Beach Harden is leagues above 2012 kobe
Wolves bandwagon fan since 1998 Kobe in 2012 was still averaging 27,6,6 on nearly 47% from the field. His career deteriorated so quickly after that because he had to carry a squad full of scrubs and give it his all, thus tearing his achilles.
Hayden Page that’s why LeBron takes games off and doesn’t try on defense during the regular season anymore. He saw what happened to kobe
This music tho... sound like u in a Scottish festival in 1600s
i thought it was pirate music
:D
G Shivs world of warcraft type shit
Actually good music tho
Lmao I had to start the video over so I can hear it and read this comment
I still remember waking up in 5th grade hearing we could get CP3, then the moment I heard it was vetoed, I cried.
Kobe James i lolzed
"we"
Made in MEX Yeah I used we because I'm a Lakers fan.
Kobe James (Nelson's voice): Ha-ha!
Kobe James weak ass laker fan
Dan Gilbert just got his karma cuz Lebron is now a LAKERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
And Lebron wont win another ring the sun is about to set on his career 🌅
Lakers got the last laugh. Ha
@@lakeshowg3536 they cant get the last laugh if they don't won a ring 😂 as of now lebrons last ring was as a cavalier if Lakers don't win shit and he retires or leaves when his contract is up what did they really accomplish?
Chris Cuevas fr😂
Lakeshow G35 what about now
Dude imagine THAT Laker team vs. lebron s heat! Now that would be a good ass series.
Montage central hell yeah
Heat would’ve won
TheRealJuiceTv Heat would have won and finally put these “KOBE GOAT” kobetards to rest.. or with more excuses probably.
Exactly!
Heat couldnt even beat the 2011 mavs lmao foh David Stern wanted Leroids to win rings uncontested.
Older Chris Paul Helped Harden almost beat the rockets with basically mediocre talent around them. If CP3 was with Kobe and Dwight damn! CP3 made D'andre Jordan look like an All Star he could have changed the dynamic of the Lakers that year. Kobe would have had at least 6 rings and probably would not have blown his Archilies due to too many minutes. So sad.
This is exactly why Phil Jackson warned against the league owning a team because of this conflict of interest. It wasn't just Gilbert it was also Mark Cuban I heard. They ruined Jim Buss. He just got fired but if this went through he would've looked like a genius. The Lakers didn't have a plan B and now you're looking at Lamar and Gasol disgruntled. Kobe finished his career out injured which Chris Paul would've relieved pressure and he probably would've won at least 1 more ring if not 2.
You're forgetting how good their competition was. If the Lakers had CP instead of Steve Nash, they would have still lost to the Thunder, Spurs, or Heat every year. Plus, when Kobe stopped being effective, CP would have been stranded on an awful team and he would have been demanding a trade again.
TheAndyk123 well the premise is that Dwight Howard would've joined them. Having another player who can run the offense means Kobe doesn't wear himself out and doesn't have to play all the same minutes. Also don't forget about all the talent that took pay cuts to play with Miami to win. You don't think a CP3/Kobe/Dwight team would've attracted that. As for the competition, is the competition better now? Because harden, cp3 and a bunch of shooters are said to be the only team that can beat the warriors now. I didn't forget about the competition i know exactly who was around back then. There's no guarantee they would've won it all, but do you really think the other owners were complaining because they didn't think they had a chance to dominate? It's not like the spurs weren't there when LeBron built a super team and beat them and okc was too young as evidenced by the spanking they got from Miami. The Lakers also would've had the best defensive back court in the game at that point.
Like how isn’t this looked like the league just fucked over one of their legends bc they had ownership even thou they were getting rid of the team a year later it’s the same how senators and stock holders sold their stocks before corona happened in the us which made them not lose any money and instead profiting while the rest of the world is in a crisis
@@jona2540 Did you really compare the NBA to the fucking COVID-19 Pandemic? You stupid fuck
@@morpheusrising9534 spurs in 2014 were literally one of the best playoff runs ever. They won by the largest points margin in finals history winning every game by 20 or more
Just tells me how great Kobe actually was. The league actually thought it was unfair for him to play with an elite point guard. While these days, you have superteams created left and right. Lol
That’s just false lmao
when cp3 can't go to the Lakers but then you look at the warriors starting lineup
Bobby Chan not a Warriors fan, but they at least drafted and developed most of their star players, such as Curry, Green and Thompson. Durant and Cousins going to the Warriors though was kind of a snake move on their part. The silver lining for the rest of the NBA about Cousins is that he's not likely to play until mid season, and he probably will never play like he used to.
that is true
BobbyChan1738 - did you watch the video?
You mean the Heats lineup?
Kobe can thank Dan Gilbert for ruining the final seasons of his career
Yup
Facts!
Lol like how the guy ruined Lebron’s early career xD Dam if only they took the trade to get a prime Arenas
It wasn’t just Gilbert, Popovich made a huge stink and a lot more owners! Nobody wanted to see prime Chris Paul with Kobe who was still scoring 27ppg. The Lakers were going to add more talent around them as well.
Nba robbed kobe his 6th ring.
Erik Lerström several like who? Kobe had trash teammates on the low. Outside of shaq and pau everybody he ever played with is tradeable.
Erik Lerström stfu lebron had way better teammates then kobe
If anything the NBA GIFTED him a couple of rings (2000 seriers against Portland, 2002 series agaist Sacramento,...)
ely Calma they gave him a couple of rings lol aka kings
ely Calma, they didn't rob him of shit. They gift wrapped him a finals berth in 02. They allowed him to be traded to LA when Charlotte actually drafted him. GTFO of here.
The NBA had a vendetta against Kobe and it's relevant right now..they created turmoil between Shaq N Kobe because they would've easily won at least 6 or 7 together, then when they had a chance to sign CP3 they knew Kobe would've won at least 2 or 3 with CP3, They did not want Kobe being regarded as the best ever over Jordan especially after the rape case.
bonafied ogee exactly
When are you going to do more “Cases for GOAT” videos. Those were definitely your best videos in my opinion
A1 Video gamer No need, there's only one 🐐, and he's from Akron, Ohio.
The Dark King fax but he should still do mare bc they are really good and fun
The Dark King steph curry?
Water Is wet No one on the 15/16 Warriors roster can ever compare themselves to LBJ.
The Dark King W
I was there the day Kobe came to Watts/Drew League and dropped 45 and that game winner..... Man I walked in the gym and there was my favorite player of all-time!! I was like "I'm not dreaming"
Great Day
Kiero B yo that game was against Harden that shit was dope. And now that I think about it Lebron had a superteam during the Lockout melo and cp3 but still couldn't stop Durrantula
Serve 3000 LMAO I remember
The fact that Cp3 is currently in the finals with Devin Booker there’s no doubt on my mind him and Kobe woulda won at least 1 or 2 titles together
The NBA feared Kobe Bryant
Kobe gets 2 more rings with Chris Paul, and everyone in the league knew it! Huge conspiracy, to stop LA and Kobe.
🤔
I dont think that would happen
That's a possibility just saying🤔
Agreed
lol no
Kobe would’ve gotten that sixth ring
Dguz7 damn right he would've. The greatest NBA mistake in the past 10 years.
Dguz7 and Paul would've had his first
Connor that hurts ); I wish he would’ve had 6
They couldn't of beat Miami
S yea they could
The NBA robbed Kobe of his 6th and maybe 7th ring
The nba rigged the 2012 draft too so they could get Anthony davis
They also let the Cavs win the #1 pick in back to back years after Lebron left.
Nifty Noldog yea, because the NBA wanted the biggest prospect in years to end up in NO...... makes sense.
Joseph Johnroe If that was the only way in 2012 to make the team sellable(remember, the NBA doesn't own the Pelicans anymore), then it had to be done.
Yes, the NBA is corrupt
Joseph Johnroe the NBA owned the NO team....
The NBA had an up-and-coming star named LeBron James that they were going to make a lot of money off of. Couldn't risk Kobe destroying that opportunity and forced him into retirement. Plain and simple.
Tbh I’m starting to think this is true!! Especially seeing how they stack teams with talent now days, I wish that CP3 to Lakers with a prime Kobe would’ve happened!!
@@seangreen1364 If CP3 and Kobe would've played, they would've won the Finals every year for at least the rest of that decade. Also, the NBA didn't want them teaming up because both have alot of heart and that was too much ammunition.
@@demetriusgaines59 that's complete bs coming from a Lakers fan
As Lakers fan, i always understood this. I was never mad about the veto cause the NBA did own the Hornets. My problem was that they basically fucked up the Lakers future without any sort of compensation. All the struggle the Lakers went through can be traced back to that trade.
also that bs narrative that no superstar wanted to play with Kobe. chris paul did and he was furious that trade got nixed he wanted to play with Kobe.
It's completely unfair the other owners, who owned there own team, were able to screw another teams trade even though it had nothing to do with there team! Mark Cuban, and Cavs owner did this because they were litterly jealous of LA Lakers. Conflict of interest
New Orleans Chris Paul was a monster
What if Kevin Durant joined the 73 win Warriors
3-1
Huh... That would be weird
Honestly I felt that they didn't want Kobe to win his 6th ring to be tied with Jordan and REALLY have a debate about which 2 guard was better 🤷🏾♂️
Don't be a tin foil hat
Erik Lerström Lmao here we go with you people
Curtis Jordan I think if Kobe did tied Jordan with rings I’m pretty sure the majority of people will still say Jordan is better. Jordan will still have more Finals MVPs, Regular season MVPs, DPOY, and scoring titles than Kobe.
ViolentVz and is just flat out better
Curtis Jordan 👍×1,000
They didn't want Kobe having 6+ rings
You know you are amazing when the NBA itself conspires against you, just like Lewis Hamilton in Formula 1 not getting his 8th championship vs Verstappen.
I will always hate David Stern & Dan Gilbert for this bullshit. CP3 should've been on the Lakers winning championships. This has caused a domino effect against the Lakers that has resulted in them starting from scratch to build a championship team. They missed the Playoffs a bunch of years consecutively for the first time in Lakers history. There was nothing unfair about this trade for the league to nix it for "basketball reasons". To be fair as far as the Lakers are concerned after he fact, they made some HORRIBLE management decisions like giving up 1st picks for Steve Nash and the idiotic head coaching decisions (Mike Brown, Mike D'Antoni).
I'm still salty about that trade, even though the NBA did own the Hornets. The Lakers' trade offer was not much worse than the Clippers' offer, and we could've remained competitive when Kobe started to decline.
I can't stand David Stern
@@crutt1026 rip to him 🙏
Rip
Corruption kills you.
I’ve had to explain this exact point to a few of my friends over the years. From now on, I’ll just redirect them here. Excellent content. Keep it up man!
Still can't believe it lol it's been six plus years since it happened
Mr Dewayne Man and those years flew!!
Can't believe your comment is almost six years old
Great job on the video dude! I remember this cp3 trade getting vetoed, but other than the NBA's basketball reasons quote, I wasn't aware of the additional details. Again good job!
CP3, Kobe and D Howard would have challenged the Miami Heat in the finals if they were all healthy. NBA ruined our Kobe/Lebron finals match up...Well really Lebron ruined those chances from 08-2010 when the Kobe was going to
3 straight finals and Lebron's teams winning over 60 plus games during the regular season couldn't get his team to the finals but I digress...lol
challenge?? hell nah that Heat team can't even beat the Mavs, and that Heat team even struggled a lot against an old ass Spurs lmao🤣 considering the fact that Cp3 at that time playing his best and Kobe before the achilles playing like the best player in the league, there's no competition at all they can take down that athletic Heat team bruh..but unfortunately Bron is the golden boy not Kobe
@@cornelius8124 yeah sure
Have you been playing too much Runescape
I've been slacking. Gotta get back to catching Dom's vids on time 🔥
Great research Dom
God damn David stern
Nifty Noldog don’t use God’s name in vain
Joel gosh diggity darn David stern
Nifty Noldog thank you
Nifty Noldog lmfao!!!!!!
gosh diggity is the best thing I've seen in the internet today lol
As a laker fan it pisses me off to see this because i remember flipping my shit in high school only to be heartbroken hours later lmao But it surprises me how so many people especially laker fans are misinformed about this
what pissed me off about the lock out was how they targeted the lakers. The rule was to make it more difficult for large market teams who have been successful to attract free agents and large profile trades, out of the big city teams, who have been dominant? Oakland success was recent so that doesn't count, chicago hasn't won since '98, miami hasn't won since '06, houston since '95, and then i don't have to mention new york. Lets be real, the other owners saw an opportunity to bring down the lakers. The messed up part was that our owner Jerry buss was in his final months.
Lol I rejoiced when the trade was vetoed you guys can't let Chicago have shit no wonder everybody hates the Lakers
@@DarthKrellon lol
@@DarthKrellon And I'm rejoicing the Lakers back on top.
Kobe played one of the best season in 2012 so did Paul. If they teammed up Kobe vs Lebron would have been 100% and many rings for L.A
They clearly conspired against Kobe.
@@123dan165 facts. Kobe goat
Complete BS
Kobe & Cp3 would be Harden & Cp3 but on ANOTHER LEVEL 😢
this is why kawhi, pg13, and butler tried to force their ways out of their team. if the league and their owners is literally colluding where players get to go, the superstar players will obviously take the power back and dictate their own destination.
Congrats on 200k Dom! You the 🐐, I love your content!😁🤘🏽
Dom I really appreciated that. I, like others, just knew it wasn't fair but didn't really look to find out why. I look forward to more of your work bro.
Dom stay with the smooth transitions into the promos😂
You make very valid points Dom, but my thing is that the league not only allowed CP3 to be traded, but he was traded to the EXACT SAME MARKET!!! If the league cared about parity between the big and small markets, they would have nixed the Clipper deal as well. So it's not so much, at least for me, about the nixed deal, but that the NBA was completely hypocritical in this situation.
Me vs. Everybody agreed. That's what was fucking frustrating. It was almost like they wanted to rub in our face
Me vs. Everybody yeah don't trade him to the Lakers where no doubt Bynum and Gasol were getting traded, but send him to the Clippers with Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan right ?
yes!!! it was like they said fuck u. but i heard from Jennie buss on a radio interview on 710 ESPN LA that if Jim buss would have communicated better she would have been able to get it done, because she was at that meeting. just sucks that Jim's poor mangement and lack of communication fucked us over for years.
They didn't want Kobe to win more rings
The clippers play in a big market but are marketed as a small market team. They have sucked for their entire existence until they got cp3 and the lakers have the LA and national media attention. Clippers are the red headed step child of LA
Amazing video as always. Love your work man. Lots of information here I never knew about.
This new editing is great!
Best basketball channel man
That would be dope to see a big 3 of CP3, Dwight and Kobe
The nba really just ain’t like Kobe to be honest one mvp & then couldn’t get cp3 really ??
Thanks for this 👏 I didn’t really understand why this happened until now. God bless you and your channel.
Love the editing
!thanks for clarifying it dom! Appriciate it much, keep it up!!
The clippers stole Chris Paul
And wasted his career
And made up for it by trading the pick that ended up as Kyrie Irving for Mo Williams.
Sure did, and still couldn't win their 1st title with him, and worse couldn't even make the conference finals. I felt bad for CP3, it's good 2 see him having success and a legit chance of getting his 1st nba championship ring with the Rockets, but it's a shame many of his best years were wasted with the Clippers.
Brace Brooks so before he went to the clippers he wasn't a forshure top 10 of after he is we didn't waste his Career just cuz he didn't win a championship and players win championships not the team dumbass
Brace Brooks not this year buddy..
I appreciate someone finally getting to this topic b/c it has been a question of mine for the longest thank you Dom2k💯
Great informative video
Bro u going blow up trust me
Because him and Kobe would have gotten 2-3 rings together .
I been waiting for this video forever
Great video man, keep it up
Still pisses me off til this day!!! They robbed Kobe of his 6th ring!! Guess they didn't want him tied with Jordan smfh
Maybe it's just because of when I spent my formative years, but LeBron just looks RIGHT in a Heat jersey.
Great Video!
This is awesome you give the most intelligent content on the web from a sports fan perspective I liked and subbed and shared because I'm one of those people and so are my friends, we had no idea why the NBA jumped in a multi team trade LOL
The nba should veto cousins to the warriors
They didn’t want Kobe to get that 6th ring lmao
This makes complete sense ... great vid !
Congrats on 200K
Anybody here after the nets picked up Aldridge?👀👀
Kobe would have 6-7 rings dam his GOAT status would have increased
Luke Bashian, he has no GOAT status. Only to delusional Laker fans and Kobetards he does.
Eddie Bowles
You clearly don't watch basketball 😂
Luke Bashian damn what are you on
Lol, no.
KxngAJ it's another bot account, there's one person who runs hundreds of these and spams the same comments on thousands of Kobe related videos.
Love ur Vids Man U Keep it Real n 💯
Now this is gonna be a fire ass vid
They should of still traded him he wanted to go there they wanted him the NBA obstructed the players trade
Can you run this trade in an old 2k to see how the teams would do?
Time to fire up 2k10 for PS2
I did it on 2K10 and CP3 Kobe and Dwight make 3 finals split with Miami and Kobe got his 6th
Dope video
you need more clout on your vids, they’re very good bro 🔥
The crying over the letter part. 💀💀💀
This was a conspiracy against kobe. They didn’t want him to win his 6th ring so he wouldn’t be compared to Jordan and they wanted to protect LeBron so he wouldn’t lose to kobe in the finals. If this trade had happened Kobe wouldn’t have tore his Achilles because he was stuck playing way too much on a shitty team with no help. There were many better duos before this and better big 3s as well, Jordan pippen and Rodman being among them. The NBA shouldn’t be allowed to own a team in its league, that just screams corruption.
very good video. i never knew, but thanks for dropping the facts
Dom2k with the Basketball Wisdom. Dope video
This algorithm getting too good
Where is the part 3 to best playoff series?
We made it bruv
Dom have you ever thought about starting a podcast? You got the voice for it and truly good basketball pods are hard to find.
It's still a conversation 10+ years later.
Could've potentially had Kobe vs Lebron in the finals
WE NEED A VETO NOW
Yayyy New Video
Good video dom :)
They were hating, they didn't want my boi teaming up with Kobe and owning the west
Not just the west, the whole league.
No trade will ever compare to KD going to the warriors unless for some miraculous reason lebron went to the warriors.
Justin Dminic maybe bron to the heat or whatever team bron goes to this summer
Daniel Clark not a good comparison because whatever team lebron chooses to go to automatically becomes championship contenders. The heat the 2 years before lebron joined were barely above .500 in win/loss ratio. He made the team good with the other players that joined. KD joined the best regular season team ever that lost the finals by 1 win and the team that beat him in the playoffs by 1 win . There’s no comparison.
Justin Dminic uh that Heat team didn't only add lebron they also got Bosh who the year before then was averaging 24pts and 12reb a game.
MrSquaky not to mention that wade was the second best player in the league at that point. So yea it's a pretty good comparison
Erik Lerstrom
Lebon had a Prime Wade, Prime Bosh and Ray Allen, Brass knuckles my ass...
A1 bro. I’m messing wit it. I was gonna do this subject but no point now. U nailed it!! Lol
Getting better and better at pitching that app. I love it lmao
So this trade was vetoed but the Golden State All Stars are allowed everything?! Makes no sense at all
Are you fucking serious? Or just a troll?
Mr. Jordan - did you watch the video? The NBA owned the Hornets at that time. The team owner vetoed the trade because it was a terrible one. They do not own the Warriors.
Justin Y. 2.0 I guess you didn’t watch the video
In my opinion Kobe Bryant would have won (Multiple rings) his 6th ring if Cp3 trade would have went through.If i was a Lakers fan i would still be pissed of that VETO ruined the Laker franchise they have been Irrelevant since the VETO it would have been so fun to watch a Backcourt of Cp3 & Kobe Bryant
I'm still pissed lol been pissed as soon as it got vetoed
Love the music! Makes me want to play the Witcher again. Also, thanks for the video :)
Dom, it would be great if you'd do a what if video.
