The time traveler tells these things happened from today until 2033 but doesn’t tell you who did them

-Player wins 4 MVPs in a row
-Player scores 90
-Player retires with 6 rings
-Player gets into Malice in Palace like altercation
-Team 3peats
-Team relocates


Who do y’all think it is? An don’t derail with that corny “I’d ask for the lottery numbers!” BS
Bucks tricked me into being a diehard in 2001, LeBron is the 2nd best player ever, and pizza is awesome.

Udonis Haslem wins 4 MVPs in a row, scores 90, retires with 6 rings, and gets into a Malice in the Palace like altercation after his team 3 peats. The Miami Heat relocate to Fargo after that incident

-Player wins 4 MVPs in a row


Those 4 MVPs doesn`t all for all need to happen from 2023 - 2033 right?
If Jokic continues to play like this in the 2nd half of the season he should be a lock for his 3rd trophy, so
another one in 23/24 shouldn`t be that far fetched.

-Player scores 90


My guess would be Doncic or Tatum.

-Player retires with 6 rings


I really can`t see how LeBron could win another 2 chamionships to retire with 6.
My best guess would be Draymond Green. Why? I wouldn`t consider Golden State as clear favorites this
year but its not something totally impossible (and to win another one after that) - in this case the odds for Dray, Curry
or Klay would be nearly equal. IF the Warriors lose early Drays contract (Player Option in 23/24 for 28m) is the first to possibly end his time in Golden State, so maybe he joins another team and wins another two rings? Curry will most likely retire in Golden State but Klay has a contract year in 23/24 and might join another team as soon as Dray.

-Player gets into Malice in Palace like altercation


Jordan Clarkson. Mo Wagner will shove him into the stands and while flying Clarkson already gets into fighting stance without ever throwing a punch. Both benches get empty and fight starts.

-Team 3peats


Boston Celtics. Two Top 10 MVP caliber players in Brown and Tatum.

-Team relocates


Memphis Grizzlies or New Orleans Pelicans - least valuable franchises. Of course they got franchise cornerstones like Zion or Morant but they really need to be winning now.

4 MVPs: Jokic is the obvious guess, as argued above.

Retires w/ 6 rings: Has to be somebody who'll retire within 10 years, so presumably it's somebody with a lot of rings already. I'll say Steph, because he seems to have a bunch of elite years still ahead.

Team 3peat: Celtics. That would require Robert Williams being healthier in the future than he's been in the past, but otherwise the pieces are in place.

Altercation: Draymond Green.

Relocation: Sacramento. If Vivek gets bored, why not?

Scoring 90: Jokic. Find an opponent that's too short to bother his shot, and too scared of his passing to double-team him, and he could score all night.

I think Jokic could do all those things....if he he keeps getting the match up and decides to punish a guy all night - and the Morris twins know Jokic will bring all the heat to an altercation that could take a match to a Cali Forest fire....and the MVPs and rings could happen if His guys stay healthy or someone comes and joins him...

4 MVPs in a row - Jokic (he just needs 2 more)
Scores 90 - Embiid (crazy pts per 36)
6 rings - LeBron (free ride for 2 more)
Malice in the Palace - Draymond (Poole incident; leader in techs)
3 peats - Sixers (Embiid just 28 with most talented team)
Team Relocates - Minnesota (need a change of scenery)
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

-Player wins 4 MVPs in a row - Jokic
-Player scores 90 - Doncic
-Player retires with 6 rings - Green, Curry, LBJ
-Player gets into Malice in Palace like altercation - Isaiah Stewart and it happens in DET once again
-Team 3peats - Celtics
-Team relocates - Clippers relocate to Canada in an effort to get SGA back
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

- 4 MVPs in a row: Jokic is the most reasonable answer, but Luka also makes sense.
- Score 90: Luka or a high usage guard like Trae Young (plenty of time to sever ties with DeJounte Murray in 10 years :lol: )
- Retire with 6 rings: Steph makes a lot of sense. I don't think there's enough time/window for anybody else. Players will either be too young to *retire* within 10 years, too far behind in ring count or just not good enough. The outside chance is a role player a-la Robert Horry/Steve Kerr, but that's very hard to predict.
- Malice: Draymond HAS TO end his career like this. In his last season he'll cause the biggest fight in NBA history and retire after being suspended for a year :lol:
- 3peat: everybody are saying Boston, but what if it's OKC? They have something interesting going on already and tons of draft capital to acquire elite supporting cast. If Chet comes back and is as good as he looked, it's not impossible. 10 years is a long time.
- Relocation: Sacramento or OKC (if the above plan fails).

Jokic for the 4 MVPs, Klay Thompson for the 6 rings (Curry won't get it because he'll retire with the Warriors instead of ring chasing), Isaiah Stewart for the Malice in the Palace sequel, OKC for the 3-peat.
