    For the record Mikan wanted the three point shot because it “will give smaller players a chance to score and open up the defense” he specifically wanted more people to have a role / opportunity in basketball so he made a rule that let people with skill sets other than his own carve out a niche. I just think that’s really cool

    The other HUGE Butterfly Effect that many have forgotten about was Nick Anderson's missing the 4 foul shots, that changed the fate of the Orlando-Houston series, helping undermine the Magic's confidence against the Rockets, eventually causing Shaq to leave O-Town and leave for LA...

      Bro, the magic didn't lose that series because of Nick. Stop it. The Rockets were a much more experienced team, with an all time great big of their own.
      Shaq has said it himself, they were a young squad, and didn't have the discipline and maturity to grasp the magnitude of the situation. Shaq was hosting parties every finals game.

      You might be too young to know this but Taco Bell held an actual PPV event putting Hakeem against Shaq in a one-on-one game. The Dream owned not only Shaq but David Robinson, Glenn Robinson, well let’s be honest here mostly all the Big Men in the league at that time. It took MJ retiring for that season and a half and the Bulls losing to Orlando in that second season for Hakeem to get his 2 rings he actually deserved and don’t forget he had the second best shooting guard in Clyde as his ultimate support as well. Barkley came to the team the season after the second Finals win. Then Pippen came after The Bulls second three peat and MJ’s second retirement. So yeah, you probably too young to get that part of it.

    George Mikan was also the reason for the shot clock's existance. Teams could and sometimes would stall when they were going against him (not to mention his teams ran very, very slow themselves). So someone suggested the shot clock as a way to force a shot. How they got 24 seconds was dividing the game length by the number of shots they hoped would exist during a game.

  • @Dimonite314
    @Dimonite314 Před 2 lety +83

    Mikan was also involved, in one way or another, in the creation of the shot clock, the widening of the lane from six to twelve feet (it would later be widened again to slow down Wilt Chamberlain), goaltending rules, and the existence of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

    All this heat talk reminded me that the heat are really one of the most successful franchises ever when you adjust for length of existence. Like they've been around for only 34 years and have 3 chips and been contenders numerous other years. We all know how well the team is run and it shows

      @ValensBellator Před 2 lety +1

      Riley just refuses to do long term tank; heck, it seems like he won’t even throw the remainder of a seemingly lost season these days. I often think it might hold them back from being true contenders but then they did almost win a ring just two years ago. Perhaps if instead of Bam and Dragic getting injured before the finals it had been AD or LeBron they could have actually won it, you never really know.
      They were looking pretty darn good before Butler tweaked his ankle this year too. I donno how he keeps doing these revamps with no draft picks or cap space lol

    Add to the Heat drafting Wade, Michael Jordan longtime trainer Tim Grover received a call from Pat Riley, asking what he thought on D Wade and his intention to draft Chris Kaman. Tim Grover advised to draft D Wade, while Pat Riley argued that they need big man for their team. Which then Tim told Pat to play Wade at center. Those 2 are one of the greatest at what they are doing, and combined both knowledge give them one of the top SG of all time.

There was no Jordan, my Dad passed, and my love for the game faded. I regret it to this day. My boys however got into basketball and mostly because they knew I loved it once. Now that I am back into it I discovered Jxmy and I have to thank you. You make the best content on CZcams.
