Is this one of the 5 best teams to never win a championship?
Never been this early to a banger 😁
Yo Johnny! I love your videos man your easily one of the smartest nba creators out there, keep doing what your doing
People love talking about the 02 kings series being rigged but never the 2000 blazers one
Arvydas Sabonis getting robbed of his prime years in the NBA is a top 10 what if for me. Broken down Arvydas guarded prime Shaq as well as anyone
I still can't understand how they lost game 7 vs the Lakers
The 2000 Blazers would have lost to Indiana in the Finals.
If the Lakers lose that game 7, Reggie gets a ring
Question Johnny; who had the better back to the basket game; Kevin McHale or Rasheed Wallace?
Great video as usual.
I like the new music in this video
I dunno man, i would consider steven smith and sheed to be a star, that guy was a nightmare for defenses
What a stacked team!!!
Big what if could they and sac 2002 could of been the first golden state warriors?well u heard what david stern said his dream match up in the finals during the old man superteam karl mail man malone gary the glove payton and the mamba going through his trial shaq overweight 😢😊
It probably stings Pippen to this day he couldn’t get one without Jordan. Would've been a big boost to his legacy.
The only issues those Blazers had off the court was they kept getting TARGETED & arrested for smoking weed. I wonder why hockey & baseball teams never had any of their players get arrested for smoking weed.
The jail blazers were the 2000 champions if the refs and commissioner did not rig that series for kobe n shaq to win their scripted and fake AF championship
Detlef Schrempf should get credit for being the first European to do the Euro-step in the NBA. Lots of Americans did it first, but they kept getting called for walking.
Arvydas Sabonis is the biggest "what-if" of all time. Imagine him coming over in 1986, pre-achilles tear, to play with the Blazers. The Trail Blazers may have actually been Trail Blazers in terms of NBA dynasties
Pippen has several chances to accomplish something without MJ. But he can't.
Arvydas Sabonis…that is all. The guy was an absolute freak. The fact that he could even contribute in his state, just goes to show that. He would have rewritten NBA history.
This video was long overdue. 02 Kings ,07 suns and maybe 2013-2015 okc are great coulda, shoulda all time teams
I'm surprised you didn't bring up Stacey Augmon. Both Greg Anthony and Augmon were defensive specialists comming off the bench (btw, Augmon won 3 Dpoys in 4 years of college, joining Duncan and Battier as 3x winners). Even though Stoudamire was the main defender on Kobe in that WCF, I believe Augmon guarded Kobe the best on that team, even more than Pippen. That team was trully as deep as they come, but I guess they lacked 'the guy'. As good as Sheed was, and he was underrated, he couldn't get them over the hump.
Not only this year. They kept it rolling, The added Derek Anderson, Zach Randolph, Steve Kerr and Dale Davis. This team was stacked for a few years.
1:32 look at Damon Stoudamire
Also, if Blazers win the title with Sheed as their best player then more than likely he doesn’t end up being Detroit’s missing piece
Great video Jonny! 2000 blazers have been overlooked so many times.
No championship quality leader.
HEAVILY UNDERRATED team
They got robbed
