I like how the raptors championship “didn’t count” when the 2015 finals was the same thing yet it still counts
Foreal like the 2018 WCF with the Chris Paul injury in game 5
Fax bro
Because people HATE the Raptors for some reason for practically ending the Warriors' dynasty. The Raptors have NOTHING to be ashamed of and nothing to apologize for.
@@ckendall67 it’s just dumbass warriors bandwagons
i knew i didnt have to watch the video thanks.
Honestly, there should be an asterisk by every championship. There was always a what if scenario that changes the outcome
Jordan never battled through injury. The ONLY one literally look at history and tell me I’m wrong Kobe and Bron went through HELL
Dirk and the 2011 Mavs needs no asterisk they deserved that one.
@@KWCline91 Facts. A W is W in the history books. Idc
I was thinking same thing. Look at 80,90s team get rid of magic, bird , kareem, no rings.
The only championship team in any sport that need an asterisk is the 2017 Astros
Is it the Houston Rocket fault Michael Jordan retired. Houston deserve the Title in 1994 and 1995.
Facts. And not only that Michael came back the second season
Facts the best comment I saw
People assume the Rockets wouldn't have still won if he had not retired. I think the Rockets would have matched up well against the Bulls in the finals.
If Jordan still playing 1994-1995. His record for final would be 8 for 6. Hakeem Olajuwon deserves nba champion
the 94 95 Houston Rockets can match well with the 94 95 Chicago Bulls .. even if the bulls had Jordan at the time. imho. Olajuwon was just a Beast during the 94 95 season. Asterisk* mah a$$
Players extremely out of shape, shows images of Barkley and Shaq lol...
Barkley is out of shape he even admitted it
Barkley was out of shape but not as out of shape as Oliver Miller was
Steve Francis 😞😞😞😞
Them big ol’ women in San Antonio is the reason why Barkley and Shaq are out of shape 🤣💀
Let them Big ol' San Antonio women into your hearts ❤
Chicago vs Houston would of been one of best nba finals ever jordan vs Hakeem
Jordan lost in the semis to Orlando, or it would have happened!
Yes it would have @tyrone
Snowy • hell yea!!!
jordan would have won anyways 😂
@@georgem3673 Jordan isn't lebron he didnt lose in the finals
Imagine Kendrick Perkins being the reason for a team to win a championship.
Naw man that was huge. He was a very important element on that team defensively and with rebounding as well and it definitely meant that the Celtics were less of a team and not at full strength. It certainly gave the Lakers a much easier path to victory in that series.
@@rosario508 KG had good enough defense to make up for Kendrick, and Kendrick's rebounding numbers really didn't mean much, I mean he averaged like 7 rebounds a game.
@@chessnotcheckersog And what’s wrong with that? He was their starting center for Pete’s sake. I watched Pau Gasol get EVERY SINGLE rebound in game seven so the Lakers definitely lucked out.
@@rosario508 The refs giving the Lakers 21 FT's in the 4th quarter had more to do with the Lakers winning than Perkins getting hurt.
@@xaviervega468 the lakers needed all those free throws and no kendrick perkins to win that title they were not the better team.
The Sacramento - Lakers series really pisses me off.
KING RAJ amen.
Zo Jirushi The refs made Sacramento lose
Zo Jirushi google "tim donaghy 2002 western conference finals testimony"
Same
Lakers in 5
The Rockets never played Jordan in the finals, so it’s not really fair to say the would have lost
As a Bulls fan I can agree that it is unfair to say that
Nobody on the Rockets slowing down Michael and Scottie
Robert Horry and Vernon Maxwell could have slowed them down a little. Olajuwon would have destroyed the Bulls
@@account7452 you're a Rockets fan, I'm a Bulls fan. We'll never agree on this lol. Its a shame this matchup never happened
MrH1120 n it would have been great
NBA Team wins the championship
*Every other team: Put an asterisk next to their championship*
I really don't think an asterisk is warranted just because a good player got injured or was otherwise unavailable. Asterisks should only be used if the winning team cheated or had an unfair advantage that other teams did not. I don't follow baseball, but I heard something about the Houston Astros winning the world series that way.
@@johnanderson9765 yh i don't follow baseball that much but I heard the astros cheated
From 1991 to 1993, the Olajuwon Rockets were 6-1, including blow outs, of the Jordan Bulls in the regular season. It would not have been easy for those who say the Bulls would have automatically won in 94 and 95.
It was 5-1 but exactly right! MJ said himself “we’re lucky that beast doesn’t come out of the west bc we have no answer for him.”
MJ 85-93 he was 5-11 vs Hakeem, 1-5 in 91-93, and 10-13 for his career. Casuals don’t know this it seems. Hakeem, Isiah Thomas, & Larry Bird all dominated MJ in h2h matchups in terms of W-Ls
@@superdopehiphop ya and mj fans won't dare to admit that Larry bird literally owned Jordan then he got back problems, diminishing like 6-7 seasons for bird
@@richardescobar7813 MJ was actually owned head to head by Larry Bird, Isiah Thomas, and Hakeem AKA other all time greats who had some great teams especially those first 2. I loved MJ as a kid/teen of the 80s/90s (early 80s baby), but casuals just gloss over the fact when he played actual great teams in 80s he was 0-5 in playoffs (6-18 in GAMES) vs Celtics & Pistons.
You act like it was just him and Jordan and Larry wasn’t playing with 4 hall of famers. I love Larry Bird he’s my second favorite player of all time and I have him in my top 5 but let’s not ignore all context.
Bruh he averaged 37.5 points against the pistons lmfao yeah “owned”
The Kings were supposed to win that year. I remember watching that whole series.
I agree. It was supposed to be NJN vs SAC in the NBA Finals, I really noticed those calls way back in game 6 in 2002.
Now we all know that Derrick Rose CARRIED the 2012 Chicago Bulls
I think we have all known about it, pre injury rose was a beast
Not everyone knows. Jus saying.
If the big 3 is not formed in Miami Rose them beats Dallas in that finals
...Okc also gets a ring in that 4 year span
@@areoinstylz if lebron didnt threw the series heat beat the mavs easy then Wade fmvp.
He carried the 2011 Chicago bulls not 2012,
Remember he missed 29 games in the 66 lockout 2012/2012 nba season and the bulls were still tied for the best in the leauge
Man Thibs just killed his own players careers. D Rose has worked hard to rehab and he changed his game up a bit these last few seasons but to be honest no-injury: multiple MVP's and maybe a finals appearance or two. But Noah, Andres Nocioni, Loul Deng.... I'm glad Jimmy Buckets got through relatively unscathed, being a KAT fan I am also glad they fired Thibs before he ruined KAT's career.
Or Rose didn't have to go that hard since they were gonna win the game anyway.
@@hennylo68 true
No way Chicago beats Miami that yr. Heat shut them down the year before and were clearly the best team that year.
@@mickeylynch8982 you don’t know that and plus your forgetting a season before that lebron and the big 3 lost to Dirk who even played like trash in the finals
KAT doesnt need to be injured to have his career ruined
Say it with me:
“ASTERISK”
Not “Asteriks”
gonna have to put a Asterisk next to this video
I've got another one triggering for you..."AKS"!
asstricks?!?!?!
@@williamjr3401 I think you just unearthed a million dollar channel idea my man
Come on bro, he was talking about Asterix, the Gaul.
Back in 07' me and my guys all agreed that Popovich drew up that play to cause the melee. Best coach ever.
The hip-check that decided the fate of the Spurs. Spurs should have only won 4
2015 or 16, whenever golden state beat cleveland 4-2, it’s weird but if you go back, every starting point guard was injured even in the finals.
i remember this specifically because mike conley was torching the warriors before his injury and defense was so on point not to mention klay hit a slump.
but for those wondering who
1st round : Jrue
2nd round : Conley
3rd round: CP3
4th round : Kyrie
and this was just at the pg spot
Steph curry was also injured
They never played CP3 in 2015 or 16
They did not play cp3 until 2018
Grizzlies and Cavs were also up in those series
Curry also fell on his head when Ariza undercut him vs Houston, but apparently he was tougher than those other guys.
1988 Lakers too, the infamous Phantom Foul in Finals Game 6, hence forcing Game 7 and then in Game 7 Last second foul by Magic where he tackled Isiah badly which ignored by the refs 🤦🏻♂️
Oh, and also at the end of Game 7 after AC Green made a free layup to put the Lakers lead to 108-105, but the Pistons still have a chance to make a 3 and send it into OT to bring all their momentum for a championship. For some reason though, a couple of camera guys and several Lakers players from the bench went into the court yet the refs never called a legitimate violation there. After that incident though, Bill Laimbeer was still able to make an incredible pass to Isiah Thomas and then he tripped into Magic Johnson yet there was no foul there and then the Lakers won the 1988 championship.
Hurt players affecting playoff series is PART OF THE GAME.
Deal with it haters.
Agreed. If we are putting asterisks on Championships where the losing team had injuries, then the only NBA Championships that would count in the past 5 years would be 2017 & 2018, & even then the Cavs overhauled their roster mid-season in 2018. It's a slippery slope best left for real controversy.
Staying healthy it part of playing smart, if you get injured it isn't the other team's fault.
@@Outwardpd It is NOT always a failure to "play smart", when you have a dirty player that TRIES to hurt opponents.
Look at Bill Laimbeer's career for the BEST KNOWN example of a case where getting hurt sometimes WAS "the other team's fault".
Also, have you ever PLAYED basketball? Sometimes getting hurt is pure accident, NOT a case of "not playing smart".
It is part of the game if they land shoot or land in an awkward way not if a player is dirty and hurts others on purpose like Zaza, Draymond, and Kelly Olinek
@@sayoriachiri5833 Which is why Bill Laimbeer became widely hated, very dirty deliberately hurting people style of play.
If he was in the NBA today and played that way, he'd be spending more time suspended than playing - NOBODY current is anywhere near as dirty.
Thanks for bringing up that Suns/Spurs series. I'm a huge SUNS fan and I was at that questionable game 5...bout 5 rows behind the Spurs bench...it was so deflating. Phoenix lead for like 44 of 48 minutes on essentially a 6 man rotation
The justice for Kawhi when he was injured by the Warriors which made easy path to championship ring ,was served. They injured kawhi, now they were injured, the Raptors win. its even now. atleast for those two teams
Not even for San Antonio!
Plus people keep acting like GSW was guaranteed to win yet barely got by. 8th seeded Clippers
Toronto had that fire in the 2019 nba finals and kawhi was on a mission and wanted redemption against golden state....plus when lebron left to join the Lakers, the Eastern conference was wide open for any team...
Also, Toronto would have pushed clevland to at least game 7,
Exactly
@@ekamsingh7576 Facts that 2019 Toronto team would nt get swept by the cavs
The series where the Bulls played the Knicks without Jordan... In the last possesions of game 7, one of the worst calls ever was called on Pippen for a defensive foul which gave the Knicks free throws that ultimately won them the game and the series... Imagine if the Bulls made the finals that year, people would look at Jordan's teammates differently on how good they really were without him
Actually that Hubert Davis play happened in game 5. But yeah that cost them to go up 3-2 and close game 6 at home.
Great point.
One of my fav chanels .keep up bro
The Spurs/Suns series was also brought up by Tim Donaghy. I believe he said something along the lines of that the Head Referee loved going to San Antonio & hated travelling to Phoenix, so he supposedly influenced the other refs by telling them what to watch for when it came to calling fouls on the Suns.
However, as stated in this video, that depends on if you believe Tim Donaghy.
The refs were trying to carry suns most of that series, idk what the hell this guy is talking about. I'm pretty sure this is also the series that the ref kicked Duncan out for smiling on the bench, which led to a suns win and suspended Horry for Nash's Oscar performance. I'm also pretty sure this was the series that got the refs suspended for a year or two because they were so much against spurs.
The thing that was mentioned in this video was a makeup thing, for causing spurs to lose the previous loss.
Kareem was injured in the 1980 Finals and Magic and co. still won!
Nobody claims injuries (and suspensions) aided the Cavs in 2016 though 🤷♂️🤷♂️
That's because it didn't
Ryan D Lebron would have lost against the pacers in ‘18. If not for a missed goaltending call series tied 3-3 and it was game 7 missed call like the Lillard one. 16 Cavs, only green was suspended and bogut was injured leaving little no shot blockers. Very very shady calls by the refs all series.
Ryan D if 2016 was impressive then Kawhi’s win with the raptors should rank higher. But as I said the latter is well documented but nobody talks about 2016 because of LeExcuse fans like you.
Because injuries are part of the game? And so are suspensions after reaching a tech limit for whacking other people in the nuts? How is the raptor's (not jus kawhi) more impressive if the cavs played the greatest shooting backcourt of all time for 7 games - especially with the unanimous mvp being outplayed by both LeBron and Kyrie.
@@tenzinnamgyal8542 missed goaltending call followed by a game winning 3 pointer? Last time I checked 3 points is more than 2... yikes🤣🤣🤣
Seriously though how do you accidentally pull someone’s shoulder out of socket that’s way more blatant than zaza stepping into kawhis landing space
The fact he never owned up to it is more offensive than whatever tf he's growing on his chin.
The Warriors didn’t win the 2016 NBA finals because Draymond was suspended he play in 2 elimination games that could’ve given GS the win. The Celtics did better without Kyrie than with him. They would’ve lost to the 76ers with Kyrie in 2018.
bogut hurt out of series in game4 and iggy hurt in game 5 and cant even dunk anymore in this series and curry all playoffs played injured he rushed it back from mcl injury and never make excuses about that
@Dominic dominic warriors after injuries was it not the same team anymore,but whats happens,happens
@Dominic dominic are you fuckin or hater lol green cant score hes fuckin scrub he only pass and doing some little things,iguodola cant make fuckin 3 in some games only has one good game and Bogie was fuckin scrub all series so what are u talking dummy no one average 10 fucking points and warriors without bench better dont talk to me if you know only players names green,iggy system players look how they look without curry,klay and this year..... lol
Arnas Gudaitis Ok I think you need to work on your English before coming on CZcams commenting salty things. The Cleveland cavaliers won the 2016 nba finals. That’s a fact. Now you can argue with that fact for as long as you want, but at the end of the day it will still be a fact.
@@hendude127 I didn't comment salty things on why the Warriors didn't win the 2016 NBA finals.
MJ got sent home in 1995 by Shaq and penny when the rockets repeated.
Cliff Jung ill Jordan only played 20 games or so that season after returning from retirement
@@seanman1231 EXACTLY
@seanman1231 So?Still proves the Rockets were not some fluke.
Dominic dominic Jordan is the GOAT, and he always will be
Dominic dominic Jordan played in a weak era? Lol that’s funny, you must be young. The current era of the NBA is the weakest it’s ever been. Look up the Bad Boy Pistons
Don’t forget the 2017 playoffs when Zaza injured kawhi
As a spurs fan, even though 1999 was an asterisk, we still showed we can win a few years later
Avery Johnson was clutch.
Everybody was dealing with the same problem so I think it's legit. It's not like they played 20 games only that would allow for a fluke easily. But I think it was 50 games back then and the playoffs. Seems fair to me.
2003 dirk got hurt, 2005 Steve Naah was missing his 3 best teammates or 2 and they lost in 5 but 3 of those games weee in single digits, 2007 was already explained by congrove, 201; Perkins was hurt in the western coference finals so he missed the first 2 games and when he came back they won 2 strait games
I never had a problem with 99 season. Was what it was and I think it’s valid.
2014
I would of loved too see The 94’ Rockets vs MJ’s bulls. Kobe vs LBJ in the finals
This is how I put the MJ one. The bulls 3peat in 91, 92, and 93. Then MJ doesn’t retire, and the Bulls beat the rockets in 94, and in 95 the bulls would win again because MJ played a full season and not just 17 games in baseball shape. Then they 3peat again like irl with 96, 97, and 98, giving them 8 in a row. THEN if Jerry Krause wasn’t stupid and got rid of Phil Jackson, which in turn made MJ retire, and also dealt half of the 98 team away, they would have beat the Knicks team as they done so many times in the ECF, and eventually 9peat by beating the Spurs. Now after this, the bulls would have been aging but I think they could have 10peated against the lakers in 2000. An 11th would probably be the farthest I’d go, but that’s a long shot. And for anyone saying Jordan and Pippen and them would be aging, remember that Jordan averaged 20 points a game in 2003 at age 43, and pippen had a longevity career as well where he was productive. Add him to some of the stars that Krause dealt, and some of the young talent they got, and that’s why the bulls would have won so many in a row
Rudy’s Reviews MJ didn’t “retire”. It was a gentleman’s agreement between MJ and the NBA for his gambling issues, a nice 2 season suspension
I'm going to stop you right here ok.. I get what your saying about MJ not retiring and all lets be foreal foreal ok, no question Jordan is the goat.. But the rockets would beaten the Bulls in the 94 Finals.. Now in 95 no because the bulls got Dennis Rodman... Jordan would of finished 8-1 totally and still be the goat so thats here the titles the bulls won
91,92,93,95,96,97,98,99.
1994 nba Finals would of been the bulls only nba finals lost that probably would of went 6 games or 7 games. But at the end of the day in reality Jordan 6-0 he still the 🐐.
Klay missed pretty much one game.
Right!
I think he was out game 3 which the raptors won and game 6 which the warriors looked like they were winning, especially when game 6 klay was unleashed, if u rewatch that game klay was by far the best player on the court
Exactly
More like 3 damn minutes
@@ots_eli2605 hating
1995 is interesting, because Jordan came back, but he was in baseball shape (more muscle, less agility). What people overlook though is the impact of Horace Grant leaving via free agency. That was also a big factor in 1995, Grant left before that season while Rodman signed after that season. Not having a strong interior presence like Grant or Rodman certainly played a role in the series vs Magic and I imagine would have played a role vs Rockets.
Plus he didn't have chemistry with the other guys that weren't there when he played. Kukoc, Kerr, Harper. He was in full basketball shape by the beginning of 95 season and had chemistry with the other players.
Thank you for bringing up that 2012 year. Bulls were very capable to win it all
Love Your Videos 👍🏽
People say that the bulls could've won 8 straight titles with Jordan but it's hard to do so if they did have Jordan the other two years you don't know they would've won because going to the finals 8 straight years and winning it would probably tire Jordan so it's not guaranteed,but it does take a great player to retire and go play a different sport and come back 2 years later and threepeat again and win all 3 finals MVPs
Jordan was only gone for one year, he was back in '95.
@@georgem3673 Technically it was two years but he was gone for one season.
Yo all your videos are dope 👌 🔥 keep it up your background scary musik bar none! Nice works I'm glad the NBA let's u use their footage in this manner!
ur channel is so underrated bro
The foul called on Scottie pippen to Hubert Davis in the 1994 East semi finals Bulls versus Knicks..was also controversial
93-94 Bulls added Toni Kukoc, Steve Kerr and Luc Longley to the roster. If MJ is still there with that team with no 18 month off-time, Bulls definitely could've had a shot at beating the Rockets. Still, Before those acquisitions, Bulls had a losing record to the Rockets.
Blazers VS Lakers is another one. Although you did talk about that series in one of your other videos.
Any injury related asterisk is just sports. Ifs and buts - who cares. All that matters is the score at the end of the game.
Ian Coleman thank you. Everybody always worrying about how they get there which is fine but sometimes it’s too much. Like the 1993-1994 Rockets winning a championship because Jordan wasn’t playing.
Agreed. The entire point of having bench players is to replace the starters for any reason including injuries. Injuries are a part of sports. They suck, yes, but it doesnt negate another teams champion runs. How about when the Spurs were abusing the Warriors by 25 in game 1 a couple years back then Zaza decides to hack Kawhi? Shouldnt there be an asterisk there for the Warriors according to this video?
Exactly. Should the Dubs get an asterisk because Irving and Love went down? I'm not even a Dubs fan but injuries are apart of the game.
what do you mean who cares, why wouldn't you want the two strongest possible versions of each team face each other
Not really the score but the team who wins in the end
2020 NBA champion will be on this list
Doesn’t compare every team was pretty much healthy.
The Miami Heat Series in 2013 against Spurs, what if Popovich never sat Tim Duncan out that allowed bosh to rebound and ultimately Ray Allen tie the game and they go on to win the series. The Magic’s defeat over the bulls when Jordan returned, would they have won if he was fresh? I love your channel please keep coming with these I shout you out on my Snapchat a lot and tell my friends about your vids.
This need a part 2 cause this year was a lot of injuries as well
What if Seattle doesn't get upset early in the playoffs in '94 and '95, and the Rockets had to play the Sonics, Seattle was the one team that gave Houston fits back then. New York couldn't score when they needed to, Phoenix couldn't play defense, San Antonio was a one man show, Orlando was too young and not ready for the big time. The Sonics eliminated Houston in 1993, and then swept them in 1996. During that stretch they won like 9 in a row vs the Rockets.
The Sonics could never beat the Jazz though.
What if what if what if what if shut the hell up
@@jpm74 96 they did
Actually Rockets gave some tough time bulls even when michael was playing. The Spurs astrerisks is also out of mind, everybody got the same chance, but if you don't stay in shape that's why you loose.
Foreal what are those teams going to say ohh that team has injuries let's not play like dang what you want them to do.
Lmao playing jordan in the finals is a diffrent story
How many times before that finals Bulls confronted Rockets with Jordan and did they have positive score against them?
Word!
Having a really supportive comment section is like having an army of yes-men
If a series starts with everyone healthy then some players get injured along the way, then - no asterisk. If you put asterisks on them, then probably half the nba championships would be included. Unless of course, the player was injured on purpose by the opponent. Players not being allowed to play by the association, not by injuries, is where the asterisks come in.
Like 2016 when Draymond Green got suspended on a STUPID call.
@@freesmartdoesfungames9002 It was Draymond's own dumbass fault. He was over the limit for techs in the playoffs. They already gave him one break in OKC after kicking Adams in the nuts.
2008 finals. Andrew Bynum was injured and couldn't play for the lakers and Paul pierce with the infamous stationary bike.
Putting it here since the kendrick perkins injury was included.
Yessir
DISAGREE . No asterisks to the Rockets' championships . The Rockets matched up very well with the Bulls . They beat the Bulls 5 out of 6 times during the regular season of the Bulls' first 3 championships . As MJ said , " we had no answer for the big guy " . Plus nobody guarded MJ better than Vernon Maxwell . As for Pippen , there was Horry . Not to mention the fact that the Magic beat the Bulls with MJ in the '95 playoffs
Magics win in 95 against the bulls also have an asterisk. They beat an incomplete bulls team. 95 bulls dont have horace grant who went to Magic
@Roderick Harperit's all about matchups . Yes the Sonics were Rocket killers but nobody matched up better with the Bulls than the Rockets . If the Sonics were so good , where were they in the '94 and '95 Western Finals ? They could have shown the world that they could beat Dream in his prime . But they lost on their way there . Sucks for them . If the Sonics had won , there would still be a team in Seattle
@ I'll give you that
@ Thank you for pointing that out, no other team with killer instinct like MJ in the 4th,
What people don't realize is, most of the games the rockets and the bulls matched up in the regular season; the rockets won most of their match ups
Regular season match-ups don't mean shit. Thunder go 4-0 against the Blazers, then lose in the first round against them. Nets go 4-0 against the LeBron Heat, then get swept when they meet in the playoffs. See a pattern?
@@KillianGrenier13 the warriors also swept the mavs in the regular season and the mavs still lost to an 8th seed so yes it does mean shit
@@winter9242 Cringe @ your basketball and real life IQ. Stick to eating crayons. One example does not mean anything, in matter of fact most teams who win the regular season match-ups lose when it comes to playoff time.

Bro how don’t you have a million subs by now? You are definitely the most underrated CZcamsr hands down.
I was an LA Lakers fan way back 2002 and I saw that in TV. I was not convinced that the Lakers really won that clean.
I always thought that Sacramento and Lakers game was fishy I saw with my own eyes I like they not even calling files on legs but they calling Ticketek files on Sacramento I saw that with my own eyes
Game 6 of that series is the most blatantly rigged NBA game of all-time.
Xavier Vega the ref of that game tim donahguy when out to vegas started gambling that the lakers were gonna win and he reffed the games poorly to get his 💰
Rockets shouldn’t get an asterisk. Jordan either chose to “Retire” or was unofficially suspended because of his gambling. No matter what it’s on Jordan
TL2354 🏆🏆Well said. The Dream and Clyde are champs. Jordan should've never left😂
TL2354 I do wonder if Jordan would've kept the streak going if he didn't retire in 1993 after the 3peat. This is not a question of him being the best ever cause he 100% is. I only wonder about this because he just looked so burnt out & at a breaking point with his every move being watched, reported on & than judged by the entire world. He really was the most recognized person on Earth for a long time & it was smothering him. It was not fun or enjoyable anymore for him. When he came back for a full season 95-96 you can see he was a different person & everyone who played with him said it too. I really don't know what would have happened if he didn't retire in 93? I'm just speculating is all nothing more. Also The Rockets ABSOLUTELY DO NOT deserve to have an asterisk next to their wins! They were an NBA Team who won the championship no different than any other team who won.
Never underestimate the heart of a Champion🏆🏆
JK number5 Your 100% correct & I didn't wanna make it seem like I was doubting Jordan cause I was not @all! Was just going over possibilities cause Mike, by his own admission, was just sooooo fed up with being Mike. The whole AC trip with his dad was in every single paper & everyone was bashing him because of it & that was the straw that broke the camel's back because there were so many things prior to that incident that could've easily been his breaking point. He went on a media blackout after the AC trip & you could tell he wasn't enjoying it anymore & that's a bad place to be when your on top. You need to be of sound mind & body to carry on & he mentally lost alot of that fire. When he hit the game winner against the Cav's in the 1993 series he said it just didn't feel the same as it used to so he was in a bad place mentally. Of course I could be 100% wrong but I just talking is all.
If MJ thought for a second about LeBron James and Kobe Bryant. He would've never retired. Wizards still had a good MJ. From 94 to 03 Jordan could've been with the Bulls winning rings like Bi11 Russe11's 11
I can't look at it that way. What makes a team or player great is what they do in the off season. Of course, anything can happen but having the proper rest and figuring out the best exercise routine is part of what makes you great. If you get injured from not resting your body and the great player from the other team doesn't get injured because he rested. It doesn't take anything away from their win.
The rapid fire was on point all true.
I still cant prevail over the Toronto championship, cuz if everybody was healthy, the series objectively should ended in 5 for GS
But you never wanted to remember what happened in 2017 playoffs with the golden state vs spurs.
They still had green curry and cousins
2017 finals
Dominic dominic bruh how is it rigged if you miss?
I'm really pissed about Hory intentionally injured Nash and that Spurs organization robbed the suns
@@jimmy_butler you're joking right?
@@jimmy_butler pop is one of the great coaches to ever do it what are you saying
Oh please its not like the suns were up 3-0 and lost it was 2-2 after that game
Nash himself admitted he embellished the contact. Horry wasn't looking to knock him down, just stop the fast break from happening. If he wanted to knock him down, he'd have just pushed him. In the moment though, I hated seeing things happen that way. the Suns will definitely go down as one of the greatest what-if's?
nash wasn't injured dumbass, pls actually watch the video before commenting
my holistic view:
play hard = gamble with injury
play with moderation= lesser chance to be riddled with injury
now if players got injured during playoffs, that is just the takeaway of playing hard and playing with moderation..regular season games are the way to playoffs..
not discounting the elements of luck/ bad luck and other factors.
but basically that is it
LeBron first championship was in a lockout season 2011-2012. Also his last was during a shortened, bubble season.
In 2016 people forget that in Game 5 not only was Draymond suspended, but Andrew Bogut the Warrior's 1 defensive full sized big man and low post anchor suffered a knee injury and was out games 6 and 7
Players get injured easy recently... 😂
Bob Sarmiento yes I agree
They been injured more rn
Warriors got karma in 2019, because they won the 2015 finals cuz Kevin love and Kyrie were injured
Len Bias, Malice in the Palace, and Scottie Pippen's migraine in the 1990 ECF, and Hugh Hollis call in the 1993 ECF...
You're REACHING on this video.
2015 GS title, and 2016 Cavs title. Both team's oppositions were injured to hell.
Don't compare the two
@@jaamal6369 too bad
2015 the Cavs were missing their 2nd and 3rd best player the whole series. 2016. Dray got suspended for one game and Bogut was a bum.
@@xaviervega468 they really be saying dumb stuff. Bogut averaged close to 0 points and 0 rebounds.
Raptors still won! It's called unfortunate having golden state with out 2 players. Stop overthinking, the Raptors earned their title just like everyone else.
Exactly; people just refuse to accept the Raptors won the championship, they wanted the Raptors to lose like they always did before 2019.
MJ and Pippen both admitted that the Rockets would’ve beaten them in a 7 game series. Houston actually had their number; Olajuwon and Vernon Maxwell gave them hell.
You have to do a part 2 with the 2020 finals included, I know I’m not the only one who saw the scoreboard “magically” change for the Lakers.
No you’re not the only one and you’re all a bunch of dummies
Since this video is very subjective, every ring by lebron has a big ASTERISK!!!!!!
Y'all could say asterisk all you want. But what matters is the W
U forgot to mention that Patrick Ewing was injured for the 99" Finals.. Leaving the Knicks totally overmatched down low by the Spurs..
06 Finals (Wade getting 17 ft per game)
93 game 7 WCF (Suns got 64 free throws in one game)
Yeah
Magic played in the 89’ finals
Jordan played in 95 playoffs
The 87,88 2002 and 2010 lakers titles were all unequivocally glaringly rigged so that’s 4 asterisks
Don't underestimate ibaka, lowry, gasol and they got secret weapons. Siakam and vanvleet
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I still cry when i see the vid of drose dropping to the ground holding his right knee😔😔
Bitch made 🤣💀
Yo, the Lakers and the kings were intense rivals
during the 2019 finals the raptors and worriors had the same amount of allstars
Gsw had curry Draymond wasn't an all star and now we see why(triple single)Toronto had kawhi and Lowry
@ANIME LOVER 2020 well, they had Chris Paul the second go around and they actually did worse. So umm, yeah
@@AtxFlips gsw had Curry Klay and Durant and Toronto had kawhi and lowry
@@cinematicuniverseman7305 Durant only played 1 game and didn't even play that long
@@DunkMan11 yeah I know but you wasn't talking about how many games they played even if he didn't play a single game he's still an all-star and he's still on the team
A win is still a win
*Those fans jumped up like my toast in the morning*
Not Jordan haters, but Hakeem's gameplay really step up in those era. Especially when my boy drexler in there 😁😁 thanks you hakeem and the rest of rockets
4:00
The players that were out of shape had NO EXCUSE FOR IT.
It was THEIR decision to not stay in playing shape.
I do NOT buy this asterisk.
ye they had a longer vacation than usual and a longer time for them to be in proper shape
fr that was the dumbest one by far. That pic of Barkley with the muffin top cracked me up tho lol
There is no such thing as a valid asterisk there are only weak men coming up with excuses
dude it's not about them being out of shape, many franchises just didn't see the point in a rushed, half-assed season. and that's of course always gonna be an asterisk in and of itself because it wasn't an nba season as they are supposed to be played
Being more prepared and practiced is apparently an asterisk in this video. I guess every championship is an asterisk.
Plus all the players "out of shape" were already out of shape. Shaq just got fatter and more out of shape from 2000 to his retirement, barkley was already fat and out of shape at this point.
The moment I heard Kendrick Perkins, I rewind it twice if it meant for jokes or he is serious. Anyway, I crack up hard😂😂😂
Everyone forgets about the Bogut injury the year Draymond was suspended. He was there only 7 footer, huge loss.
Crazy the last 5 rings feel so tainted.
2015- GS plays all the hurt teams
2016- Draymond suspension/bogut injury
2017- zaza hurts Leonard when Spurs are smacking the KD warriors.
2018- nobody had a chance once LBJ threw in the towel
2019- khawi gets revenge on the team that hurt him (who have there own injuries)
Weird stretch of chips... Lol
how about the warriors record of 73-9 and not winning a chip?
No Asterisk needed there since the outcome and the winner was well deserved and no Injuries came in finals series. The Asterisk is in finals a year prior.
@@kindnoob8491 Bro I think that series game 5 and game 6 was rigged. Listen to Austin Sweatt
@@ekamsingh7576 which championship does LeBron have that wasn't mostly because of the refs? The worst one was 2013, not only were the refs carrying the heat against spurs but they carried the heat against pacers also.
I think that the Robert Horry one was strategic. He knew that his team could win without him but the Suns couldn't win without THEM. Horry sacrificed himself for a championship. #7rings
Fred Alexander „sacrificed“...cute. Horry is a PoS, because of what he did. Dirty players don‘t deserve any praise
@@Gojo1911 That goes for the 1980s Detroit Pistons as well.. They was the definition of Dirty Players..
Actually it was a makeup call thing for kicking Duncan out of the game for smiling in their last loss. The suns were getting carried hard-core by the refs. The spurs were getting ticked, and Horry had enough of that bs. Still though, Nash did pull an Oscar performance on that flop.
I'm pretty sure this was the series that the refs got suspended for a year or two because of how much against spurs they were.
This guy conveniently ignored those huge f'ing facts. Considering that he also brought up the 99 series where Spurs won 3-1, 4-0, 4-0, and 4-1, makes it seem like he just hates the spurs.
@@thecensoredmuscle563that Crawford game wasn’t even in this series. Your entire post is complete lies. Game 3 of the Suns Spurs series was won by the officials. Spurs shot 14 more free throws than the Suns in the fourth quarter. Then the suspensions after game 4. The league carried the Spurs to that championship.
@@thecensoredmuscle563I can’t believe someone can have nearly every fact completely wrong 😂
Putting an asterisk on the Raptors' title is unfair, as they were winning 3-2, and Game 6 was very close when Thompson got hurt. KD was not a part of those playoffs anyway. Also, the only reason that series didn't end in a gentleman's sweep was that incredibly stupid timeout Nurse got in Game 5, destroying the Raptors' momentum while they were winning 103-97 two minutes before the end ball at hand and in a madhouse.
And as for Robert Horry, that's why he's a 7 time NBA champ, that's right,, 7 time champion, cause he did those little things that most guys won't do. Good video
warriors also won 2015,2017,2018 due to injuries in the other team
I don’t think this dude understands when to use an asterisk
ASTERISK!!!
Those playoff game suspensions in non-violent circumstances are ridiculous. A random game in January is one thing, but having to sit out in the playoffs isn't a proportionate punishment for the offense. Either fine them, or have them serve their suspension the first game of the next year.
My favorite one, is the GSW vs Spurs in the playoffs of 2017. I Know a game changes a lot, but damn was they really having a big advantage until kawhi got injured... They were up by close-20 I believe.

0:38 Jurassic Park???
Y? Something wrong?
@@yopierre587 I Thought That was A Movie I Didn't Know it was A City
I Just Googled it I Think That it Just The Name of The Location Not An Actual City
@@Haunted_Gains It is a movie. They called the team the Toronto Raptors cuz Jurrasic Park was really big at the time and the Jurassic Park is a Location where Raptors fans stay its next to Scotiabank Arena the arena of the raptors and its usually filled during the postseason
