Facts💯 i wish he never left Detroit! Had we kept him! We would of won back to back titles

Utah was loaded with 3 pt shooters n staunch defenders like korver,matt harpring,ronnie brewer,okur,ak47,cj miles.They team was really loaded lowkey.I think they were missing a legit shot creating wing who could score

@@mxhughes true! The West was so deep in the 2000's! 50-55 wins in the regular season was considered 4-6th seed

@@mxhughes they also had wesley nathews and milsap I believe

Nah the players now are better you would think not but the ppg avg and everything was never as high as now because players bench players are averaging superstar numbers of the 2000

@@tripsgotdrip which bench players. 2000s or 2020s players

@@tripsgotdrip you drunk? at first look at the pace now and then., look at the defense and then talk about how great they score now

​@@tripsgotdrip that's because of pace of play and that's a lie anyway. The 2000s was actually probably the worst overall but "fans" just look at a few teams and ignore things like they had more sub 20 win teams than the history of the league combined. Then you can easily just point to guys like Ben Wallace and Dwight Howard.

Kings/Nets Finals would of been Awesome! J kidd change his behavior when he got traded to New Jersey! He was still great back in his Phoenix days but he was a hot head lol im from Detroit! But "the Kings" was my second favorite team behind the pistons

tell Peja not to airball a corner 3 in game 7

@@atribecalledlen3567 or maybe just officiate correctly 🤫

They didn't deserve to win. If they did. They would have won.

Shiddd to be fair, I'd rather saw that Kings/Nets finals over seeing Shaq & Kobe steamroll another Eastern Conference team ready for slaughter.

Lucky for Nash tho, he probably wouldn’t have made the hall of fame without the dantoni boost

@@talksmack4737 nash was already a star and played similar basketball when he was with mavs. He didnt need d antoni

@@tj5180 yeah but being a 3x allstar wont get you in the hof unless you are like manu or something. His 2 MVPs is worth more than 1 ring as a second option imo.

@@kingdinodragonite3470 nash was the best player when he was on those teams. When he earned those 2 mvps

@@tj5180 yeah and that's why leaving dallas was better for his legacy.

Did they play all together ? Damn. They had so many guys

@@tj5180 those are guys they had over the years in the 2000s but yea majority of them played together like dirk,nash,finley,walker,jamison,howard then post nash era they had dirk with terry,stackhouse,howard,devin harris

Forreals

@@mxhughes they were really stacked. west was stacked sadly as well with the lakers and spurs and dirk`s injury in 2003 wcf

Nash

Those Nuggets teams were like Walmart Rockets except they didn't have the Rockets potential and x factor in Yao Ming. AI was empty stats (not even good if you look into the efficiency) at that point of his career, Melo was a slightly better version of Rockets McGrady both lacked efficiency and underperformed in playoffs. Their offense was black hole cause of AI and Melo and their defensive roles players like Camby and some other were working overtime cause of their stars being a huge liabilities on defense. And I say that as someone that grew up with AI being one of my favorite players and probably still can find AI Nuggets jersey from when I was a kid. Fun team, but not a very serious one. Mavericks, Jazz, Pacers, Trail Blazers and especially Suns and Kings played better basketball.

Trail Blazers got similar treatment and to some extent Bucks too. NBA was the most WWE-esque during that period and tried really hard to push Kobe the next MJ narrative (then same with LeBron just in case plan B as there was some doubt if Kobe is really that guy before he went nuclear after Shaq left and legal issues as well hurting his image) and gain as much popularity as possible through AI cultural impact since they were trying to avoid the another dip in popularity and views like the league experienced in late 80s-early 90s.

Glad I'm not the only one here on this, and I was just going to mention it - like, huh, that's his son....

They don't get talked about much because they didn't have much success.

4 years is short?

A predictable boring bloodbath Outside of 2006, the Western Conference was a boring LA/San Antonio rerun year after year

Allegedly, he was obsessed with World of Warcraft that it messed up his basketball career and other areas of his life.

And pistons. But the west is stacked

@Best Waifu: Nero Bride Bruh but at least from 2000-2006 had teams competing for a championship I don't know why you tripping on the NBA in the 2000s quit tripping you new school head

The nba talent on benches even some starters in general was weak back then like sorry but every team had a weak bench usually and 1 bum starter at least

@@razkable do you know that for sure or are you calling it like you see it

The West was weak outside of LA/San Antonio

How are the kings and mavs slept on from that era? Everyone talks about how the kings got fucked over by the refs lmaoo 🤣and mavs were perennial contenders through the 2000s every year they were in the mix. You must be young as hell bro

@@skywalker2676 ya lots of people talk about those kings and mavs teams but not the blazers in the early 2000s and with oden roy and alridge due to injuries.

@@tj5180 I’m saying bro 🤣every year somebody talks about how the kings got fucked over by the refs in the WCF they not underrated at all same with the mavs. And more likely the early 00s blazers teams and even mid to later blazers teams bcuz Roy and oden were alwyas injured smh

Unnecessary. They already had Don Nelson

What I’m saying is Nash began to thrive in the 7 seconds or less, what if he got the system earlier with Dirk as his running mate. I think the system would have worked in dalls

@@ohinatabae8772 I know what you're saying. I'm just making a Don Nelson joke

Jason Kidd was one of the best defensive pg in NBA history. A fantastic passer and a damn good rebounder

@@RLSmith-jt8qj his impact was something else

yea i have lol

He's partially black, I think.

@@chrismathgenius ay yes the white skin

No he’s Mexican

I had no idea he was black until a few years ago

@@skywalker2676 having a black ancestor doesnt make him black lmao he was obviously white
