What if Artest had been subbed out a bit earlier (game was basically over) or the beer cup had gone a foot farther or shorter, and the Malice at the Palace never happened? Would the Pacers have won the championship that year????

I’ve always thought an animated version of this on Disney plus produced by espn would be amazing.

What if Calipari got his supposed way, and the Nets drafted Kobe?

I think so.

Dang.

Suspensions hurt Indiana. They were primed to go all the way that season, 2004.

This will always be my biggest one. Grant Hill had just come off a 26/7/5 season with the Pistons (but was injured), TMac had 27/8/5 and THEN you add in Duncan at only 24 years old, this could have been huge for the league. Apparently Tim Duncan himself admitted that reason he did not went to Orlando because Doc Rivers said he can't bring his wife to plan.

Spurs should build Tim Duncan's (now ex-)wife a statue.
