Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 5306468, member: 833"] The biggest three “what ifs” in NBA history involve the Portland Trailblzers. 1) what if they had picked Jordan instead of Sam Bowie in 1984? 2) What if the Rockets had accepted their offer of Drexler and the #2 pick in the 1984 draft for Ralph Sampson? The Rockets would have had Olajuwon, Drexler and Jordan in 1984, and may have won 8 straight titles. 3) What if Arvydus Sabonis had come to Portland in 1988 when he was one of the best centers in basketball history and Portland just needed a center to win a title rather than in the mid 90’s when Portland’s core had aged out and Sabonis had no knee cartilage left and his body was fully marinated in vodka? Portland would have won 3 titles in a row in the early 90’s, the European invasion to the NBA would have started sooner, and Michael Jordan would have been just another great player rather than a 6 time champion.
