    Most definitely.

    Which leads me to this question.

    What if Grant Hill had stayed healthy when i was just him and T-mac? Would T-mac have more playoff success? I think so, but would he still be a dynamic scorer? Him and Hill were both playmakers at their position.

    What if the Rockets traded Horry for Elliot, would we have won back to back titles?

    what if we got damon stoudamire or kevin johnson in 97 to aid us in our playoff run(s)? would we have beaten utah? or even got past seattle in the 2nd round w/out maloney's hot shooting?

    Good one. They would have a super team way before Miami. Sheed/Wallace/Prince/Wade/Billups, wow!

    No, we would've won the championship in 08-09 with Roy Yao and Artesticles, and maybe Tmac wouldn't even be injured because Roy would relieve a lot of his minutes.

    A fair question. We might go to the Eastern finals every year. We have a team that plays to their competition though, so that might not work so well.

    I dunno about every year. Last two seasons we wouldn't have. No way in hell. Considering every trade and roster changes stayed the same.

    What if Patrick Ewing was healthy for 1999 NBA Finals?


    What if the Lakers traded Kobe Bryant to Miami for Lamar Odom, Caron Butler, and Brian Grant, instead of Shaq?

    What if the Bulls ended up trading for Kevin Johnson, instead of Scottie Pippen?

    What if Wilt Chamberlain played most of his career with the Lakers, instead of the Warriors and 76ers?

    What if Aryvdas Sabonis came to the NBA in his mid 20s and played for the Trailblazers?

    What if Grant Hill, Yao Ming, Bill Walton were not as injury prone as they were? How much different would their careers be?

    What if Steve Nash ended up New York, instead of Phoenix, during offseasons?

    What if Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant could trade places at a certain point in their careers, which player would be more successful? Kobe replaces MJ on late 80s to late 90s Bulls team, as MJ replaces Kobe on the late 90s to modern Lakers team?

    What if Michael Jordan was drafted by the Rockets, and Hakeem drafted by the Bulls? How much different would there legacies be?

    What if Michael Jordan stayed retired after 93?

    Other sports:

    What if Jose Canseco never blew the whistle on other baseball players?

    What if Kerry Wood and Mark Prior weren't injury prone?

    What if A-Rod, Randy Johnson, and Ken Griffey Jr decided to stay with the Mariners?

    What if the Marlins had decided to keep their 1997 championship squad together?

    What if Babe Ruth received a career ending injury?

    What if the Dolphins actually made a decent risk signed Drew Brees, or say if that didn't work they had gall to draft Matt Ryan at #1 pick instead of Jake Long?

    What if Dan Marino ended up with the Redskins, while Darrell Green ended up going to Raiders? What if Jim Kelly ends up with Patriots, while Eric Dickerson also falls to the Bears?

    What if Brett Favre was kept in Atlanta? (asked many times before)

    What if Scott Norwood made that last FG attempt in the Super Bowl?

    What if Carmelo Anthony was draft 1st and sent to Cleveland; Dwyane Wade to Detroit; Chris Bosh to the Heat; and LeBron to Nuggets? How much fortune does that change for perspective teams, and do the big 3 still end up together for Miami?

    What if the 49ers never traded for Steve Young?

    What if the Raiders ended up with Michael Irvin, and the Cowboys settle for Tim Brown? All other future draft picks remain the same. Are the Cowboys better with Tim Brown or worse?

    What if Tampa Bay, Atlanta, or Los Angeles Rams decide to draft Joe Montana, do either franchise win at least 1 Super Bowl with him?


    Outside of sports;

    What if Reagan, Clinton, and Bush II were all one term presidents? How much different would the country be?

    What if Hitler became a successful artists, instead of totalitarian dictator?

    What if JFK lost the election to Nixon in 60?

    What if 9/11 never occurred or was quickly averted?

    Would the tea party have expanded without the election of Barack Obama to the presidency?


    Entertainment
    What if Sean Connery decided take on Her Majesty's Secret Service?
    What if Will Smith decided to play Neo in the Matrix, instead of Keanu Reeves?
    What if "Two and 1/2 Half Men" was only on the air for two seasons?
    What if Star Wars was made in 1996, instead 1977 ... would people still love as they do today?
