Bill Russell could have had 12 rings rather than the measly 11 he ended up with.

[JasonZhao]

I think the 2013 Championship is very significant for LeBron, almost on par with the 2016 chip. If Ray Allen doesn't hit that 3 and TimmyD went 6-0, you'd have to put Duncan over Lebron on the GOAT list because not only # of rings (6>3), Duncan will be seen as LeBron's Kryptonite since he would've won all 3 meetings in the final

[gienia]

I wish you talked about Elgin Baylor and Jerry West

[cypher]

Lebron would gain the most and lose the most in this scenario. 10-0 with at least 9 finals mvps (wade was better in the finals in 2011) makes him the undisputed GOAT while losing his 2016 ring or 1 for 4 with Miami drops him probably out of the top 5

[starwarsnewsandmemes]

If you do more of these I would like to see:

Elgin Baylor & Jerry West
Kareem
Bird
Olajuwon
Wilt
Dr. J
Stockton & Malone
Jimmy Butler

[ClayHales]

I love how happy Kawhi and sad Kawhi is the same face.

If Kevin Durant hadn't moved to the Warriors, LeBron might have won a few championships with the Cavaliers.
Many star players have been expected to be the next Jordan in their youth, including Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and the younger generation Kevin Durant and Dwyane Wade.
But no other player has been compared to Michael Jordan as harshly as LeBron James throughout his career.

[CrestlineIceberg]

I think a few greats that would've benefitted tremendously with a perfect finals record is Wes Unseld, Dennis Johnson and most importantly, Dr. J and Wilt.

[stringfalafel]

3:26 wth is going on with James leg lol

[Kurraga]

Jerry west going undefeated in the finals would rocket him from his current top 25ish all time status to probably top 5 so I think he'd have the most to gain at least out of anyone with at least 1 ring.

The thing about this is, if LeBron in Miami won 4 straight, do you think he would go back to Cleveland or stay in Miami to try and win more? It really felt he ditched the Heat because he thought their window closed due to Wade's injuries & decline.

[BrockMak]

Kareem: 71 AND 74 with the Bucks on top of the 8 he had with Magic, unless, against all odds, he came back to play in 1991 as well.

[EndietheEnderman]

6:23 Shaq beat MJ bulls in 95 when Jordan was playing tho, en route to the finals

[lifebybill]

It's not even a these hypothetical situations, clearly, LeBron would benefit the most. 10-0 with an 8peat, and most likely 8-10 finals MVPS....that scenario would make him the undisputed GOAT of basketball, and possibly of professional American sports....10-0 NBA champ vs 7-3 Tom Brady, vs 7 WS titles for Babe Ruth, Wayne Gretzky with 4 Stanley case could be made

0:30 tell me why immediately clocked this as the Luigi goal theme from Mario Strikers Charged on the Wii haha

[jimgeary]

MJ >> Curry on Defense but Curry >> MJ @ Golf, which must sting much more.

[JustAMessanger-og]

If magic went 9-0, kareem would have 10 rings. Would be a hard case to make for magic to be the goat. This is a very cool video. 😂

When he said the timmy rebound away or sub i felt it, as a big wade fan and liked the style of shooters like allen, and still my mind could not understand why tim was sat down for that play
