Beth Holland+FollowOverlooked Peak: 2018 Victor Oladipo2018 Victor Oladipo was special, and I feel like people barely talk about it anymore. He averaged 23.1 PPG, made First Team All-Defense, led the league in steals, and was arguably the best two-way guard in the NBA that season. In the playoffs, he pushed one of the best versions of LeBron to 7 games, leading the Pacers in points, rebounds, assists, and steals. Injuries robbed us of what could’ve been a long prime. But for that one season, he was different. Do you think prime Oladipo gets enough respect? #NBA #VictorOladipo #Pacers #NBAPrime #NBADebate #NBAHistory #NBAWhatIf #Sports 361Share
Pamela Owens+FollowDo you agree with Ben on Carmelo? Ben Wallace once said drafting Carmelo Anthony could’ve hurt Detroit’s team chemistry, that Melo would’ve wanted to play right away, unlike Darko who accepted his role. Do you agree that Melo’s presence might’ve messed up their title run? Or do you think Larry Brown would’ve just buried him on the bench early on anyway? This might be one of the biggest “what if” draft moments in NBA history. #CarmeloAnthony #BenWallace #Pistons #NBADebate #NBAHistory #NBAWhatIf #Sports #NBA 104Share
Steve Francis+FollowWhat If Kawhi Never Got Hurt vs the Warriors in 2017?Game 1 of the 2017 West Finals — the Spurs led 78–55 when Kawhi Leonard went down with an ankle injury after Zaza Pachulia’s closeout. Golden State came back, won the game, and went on to sweep the series, finishing the playoffs with a historic 16–1 record. But what if Kawhi stayed healthy? Could the Spurs have stolen Game 1 — and maybe more? Even if they didn’t win the series, they might have been the team to prevent Golden State’s legendary 16–1 playoff run. Do you think the Spurs could’ve pulled it off, or were the Warriors just too loaded? #KawhiLeonard #Warriors #Spurs #NBAWhatIf #NBAPlayoffs #NBADebate #ZazaEffects #NBAHistory #Sports 153Share
