So before I get this comment(tho im sure I still will)yes I used the same background music that mike korzemba does. And I did that, because…. It just freaking sounds good. Its not stealing, as this song is called bts prolog by kevin macleod, not by mike korzemba. So yeah, this video took a lot of work to make so id appreciate if you could like and subscribe for more. what if playlist-kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etVnfJSSt8mXf58.html my twitter-twitter.com/RustyBUCKETS321

40 page script. mad respect, and as a 76ers fan, it was nice to see A.I. not be wasted

Can you do a 'What if, the malice at the palace never happened'?

Being a Spurs fan, it jumps out at me that the Spurs did not end up winning those 3 rings in 03,05, & 07. The whole Spurs dynasty of the 00s & the greatness of Tim Duncan possibly would have been voided through Dirk playing with the 76ers.

I'm sorry, the Sixers just got my 3 all time favorite players in Ak-47, Dirk, and AI.

The one thing you messed up was that the nba would just rig the draft again to get LeBron on the Cavs...other than that great vid

The kings still get robbed by the lakers in 02

The Sixers clearly won this "what if" with 5 chips in 15 years. Crazy! I guess we never draft Embiid and Simmons.

This was absolutely incredible, well done for the hard work and entertaining vid

This makes me happy as a Grizzlies fan

Finally bro I've waiting at least 8 days for this

So Kobe has.... what? Six rings? Seven rings? Imagine the Kobe vs Jordan argument in thus universe. Kobe also would have had much better years to end his career, competing for championships, and being way more healthy than he was on the Lakers, so he can average more points. A healthy Kobe can average more points than an injured Kobe. A healthy Kobe who has teammates who can take the focus of the defense off of him can average more points than an injured Kobe who has no help, and as such is the only person people focus on guarding. A healthy Kobe with help on his team, and as such can average better stats, and has six or seven rings vs Jordan. God damn, that argument must be insane.

Bron and KG together God that would beautiful and Brons career looks better but the sleeper is the mavs they get two chips with nash pierce shaq and amare but Dirk and A.I take the cake both two time mvps with 5 chips they'll become top 10 players ever

Try to do a what if on if shaq stayed with LA and Kobe got traded or he left

It's so crazy how 1 change in a draft selection, can change the NBA in so many ways for so many players and franchises

Can't watch it rn but already liked and excited for it

Another GOD DAMN AMAZING video! Thank you.

Rusty you are probably on my top 4 you tubers I watch

Do what if t-wolves trade Kevin love for Klay Thompson (this almost happened btw) Edit: who do Cavs trade for instead? Love would have been making too much money for the W's to pick up KD, so where does he go? Boston almost snagged him or does he stay? what would have become of Draymond? Does he get traded? Does he develop as a small forward or does no one ever discover his brilliance at all? All just some food for thought

Finally a 'What if' video. Thanks and keep up the great work

Man you put a lot of work Into these videos. I salute you, man!

I can tell how much work was needed for making this video, it was very entertaining!

your channel is underrated you are creative with your videos keep it up

Been waiting for this! 🔥 vid Rusty!

Great video man!

6:40 you forgot to notice that the refs didn’t have to put the lakers in the finale because the 6ers provided enough star power

MAKE THIS A SERIES!!!!

This is amazing! 😀 Please keep making these! Love your channel, you are the man! I have a suggestion for a future what-if video (and a relatively short one): what if Yao and McGrady never get injured in the 2009 Season, allowing the Rockets to upset the Lakers in the second round of the playoffs and make it to the finals (assuming they get past the Nuggets)? I would LOVE to see this one! No one has ever done it before!

best what if’s on youtube you deserve more subs

I love your what ifs but I have a question: do you take into account the salary cap

Loved the video, keep up the good work.

This video was dope keep up the work

Any amazing video! Good job and keep it up!

Lastest Deep dive: Why what ifs are heavily flawed Also Rusty:

Lets go Rusty New what if

lol 2011-12 was a lockout year and it still shows the Magic & Pacers playing 82 gms.

Great vid ! Only critique is you should talk about important draft picks that aren't top ten. Bledsoe, Marc gasol, IT, Kawhi, jokic, etc

great video man

good video please keep making more what ifs

This video is just incredible. Thank you very much for giving DÖÖRK more Championchips

I love this type of video

I like your what if’s u put much more realism in it it’s not just drafts but trades are realistic with free agency being much better

great video; kerp up the grrat work!! p.s can u do what if lebron played in the 90's

Great Video!!!!!!!

Kinda heart warming that you made Lebron stay for so long in Memphis while Cleveland continues to rot 😭

Keep up the great work bro love this video keep it coming

This video is lit🔥🔥💪👍my favorite "what if video" of all time

As a suns fun I wish it turned out this way lol, just started watching your vids a month ago man great content been binging it since

Awesome vid

Despite i like this kind of videos, both you and korzemba put to many details. Just say: "Sixers wins by close", instead of the score, time, time to realease, how the ball goes in, etc. Makes it easier to belive. Great job though, man. Keep it up.

Awesome video

Man if only this happened irl my 76ers would be a force and I would love to go to those game dirk and A.I. fucking 76ers front office fucked it up ugh at least they’ll be good in a few years

Great video

Keep doing these

This reminds me to the what if videos from Mike Korzemba. With the same way of story telling. And the exact same background music. But still very very good video.

A.I and Dirk both end up being top 10 players in history clearly they won

i love how dirk ended with the sixers with so many championships.

"unlike the cavs, were like to give lebron help". I like that

We need a video where the Sac Kings win a Championship! We all know they were robbed back in 02'!

This was fire

Wooo love these scenarios

Warriors win 2018,2019,2020 NBA championship if this scenario was real just like what giannis is going to win in 2018, 2019, 2020 with the bucks averaging 45 points a game

wow! what a video! awesome

Can you do a what if Steve Nash never left Dallas maverick

THANK you

Great, thought-provoking video. However, I feel like it was missing a few gems: - Tracy McGrady, one of the best guards of his generation. Not a single mention. In this alternate timeline, does he still go to Orlando? Does he join Yao in Houston, or does he wind up elsewhere?? - Vince Carter - Ditto McGrady. One of the most explosive athletes to grace the NBA. Do Carter & T-Mac stay together in Toronto? Does Vince join the Nets? - Grant MF'in Hill - Once hailed as the successor to MJ. Does he remain in Detroit if T-Mac stays in TOR? Does he avoid the ankle issues? Most relevant to the video, does he go on to join Steve Nash and play out his later years with the PG maestro? - Yao Ming, Greg Oden? What happens to these gifted BIGS? Do they avoid the injuries? - Brian Scalabrine - Where does this legend end up? Once again, cool video and great effort. I just feel like the video was centred around a select group of players without considering additional greatness.

9:41 At this rate, the modern-day NBA of this alternate timeline will be completely unrecognizable.

Subbed💯

Good shitt

Amaaaazing video, very well edited and scripted. Keep it up 😁

Good shit

I dunno i feel like Don Nelson was way to important for Dirk Nowitzkis development as a Player, i don't think he would've worked out on any other team the way he did in Dallas. He would've probably been a solid PF in the league but i don't think he would've been the same All NBA, All Star player he became in Dallas. I feel like Larry Brown would've used Dirk much more like a typical PF at the time and would not let him shoot threes and stuff like Nelson did in Dallas!

This is very well thought out. You should make a 2k roster for these years

This reminded me of a classic mike korzemba vid lol

PLSS. MORE WHAT IF

Kirilenko didn't go to the NBA the year he was drafted. He originally joined the Jazz in 2001. I don't know if this was the reason but players couldn't go from the Russian league to the NBA at the time, so when he did decide to leave he first signed for Partizan Belgrade, just so he could go to the NBA. Sadly he never played for Partizan.

10:42 Hold up. The heat make the playoffs WITHOUT D Wade!?

Your almost as good as mike korzemba I subbed

Definitely a great video although what happened to Seattle in the 2007 nba draft as they went from the 2nd pick to outside of the lottery without any substantial moves being made to the franchise?

I love those

Music is anxiety inducing like a horror film

I watched this before but never realized The song. I was really just interested in the commentary 😂

Big W

Those 5 chips, with Tim losing out at the same time, would almost certainly have people calling Dirk the best ever power forward

I can tell you put a lot of work into this. Good video. With that said I'm glad your video celtics weren't the real thing. #thetruth

As a Mavs fan, This actually makes me happy. Dirk would have been given more help and would have had more championships and Steve Nash would have had a chance to win a championship as a Mav. I prefer this over real life to be honest.

You're obviously a fan of the Portland Trail Blazers.

I like this. I am a grizzlies fan so I love the gasol brothers but getting 3 rings is awesome

Also, Steve Nash was on the team at the time of Dirks' original rookie year in 1998. There is a picture with them in '98.

Hey man i have an idea for your what ifs. What if david robinson never got injured? Think about that, that said tim duncan never gonna be drafted by the spurs. What do u think about that?

Do "What if DIrk stayed with Tennis?" How would his career have been? Wimbeldon? Grand SLams?

Pau still plays with Chicago just when he is older sadly. The Chicago team with older Pau could have won a championship if they got a better starting SF and a good back up PG to play 6th man behind rose. Also kobe wanted to play with deng that's why he called off the trade so that trade still wouldn't go down

0:30 all this happened in the 1998 Draft and not the 1997!

Can you maybe do a what if tim duncan signed with the magic video

Could you do What if Kobe never got traded by the Hornets. And also What if MJ never existed, who would win the most championships during the 90s?

man, what if we drafted pierce instead of hughes back in 1998. you should do a vid about that

Dirk would stretch the floor to as far as the three point line and Shaq would have to defend him at three point line

11-12 was Kobe's bounce back year after 2 seasons of slowing down

If you didn't notice, kobe Bryant in the thumbnail is In the bulls But his Jersey says BOLLS

Dirk would never get that good next to Iverson... the Mavs coaching stuff put so much work for him... other than that the drafts are always fun
