It’s 2021 and I still go back to watch these what if’s we need this series back!
Here's an unrealistic scenario. What if KD went to the GSW in the... Oh.
Lol
lol
Lmao im gay copied
Vladimir Putin -
SagaFraga I hate u
i like how at this time it wasn’t a big deal that giannis went to the warriors...
Yea and that would also mean that Giannis would’ve never became who he is today. Bucks built around him and built him up to be the most dominant player in the league
Back when this video was made 5 years ago people didn’t think of Giannis as that good
@@elijahduvvuri1635 exactly, he was trash asf in 2014. Next 3 years Bucks put him in work and shaped him into a 2 Time MVP DPOTY NBA Champion and arguably the most dominant player in the league
back then none of them knew
Giannis went from being a roleplayer to an uber athletic shaq
Man, if only he knew what would happen with Joel embiid when he was making jokes about him
Drew Gillis who made jokes about embiid?
Mike
This man ruined a sport July 1, 2018 snake
@@SpiceNuggetz oOf
Drew Gillis now Embiid is averaging 27 points and 12 rebounds 🤣
I see you mike, calling Joel a bust and then claiming he's a future super star
lol
Boring Story I was about to write that lol
Boring Story lol
Boring Story he doesn't mean that he means the leg and foot injuries.
Lol
This is probably one of the coolest videos I have seen on UA-cam. Really good Job man.
+SixringsofsteeI Just saw this thanks that honestly means a lot!
Mike Korzemba NBA 2K16 np man keep up the good work
SixringsofsteeI if u like that one when you'll love the what if LeBron went to college video
SixringsofsteeI we got the rebuild god and the conspiracy god. I’m I in heaven

Not only did the Trailblazers miss out on Kevin Durant, but they also had 2 2nd round picks in that draft and could have used one of them to select Marc Gasol. Granted, nobody could've predicted that he would be as good as he is now, but imagine Gasol, Aldridge, Durant, and Roy on the same team?
If B-Roy stays healthy and they somehow still get Lillard, that’s probably the best starting 5 in the history of the league.
@@housesuns-kings8480 they traded Wallace for the Nets pick. So they still potentially get Lillard in the draft
"Voodoo Magic" LOL that killed me
First off, thank you for the support. Everyday I get several nice comments on this video which is both gratifying and inspiring. And speaking of inspiring, I know a lot of you are asking for more of these types of videos. Well, I hope you'll be happy to know that I just finished out mapping out a whole scenario yesterday, which means I am now in the process of creating clips for the video. If things go right, I should be able to upload a new What If sometime next week!
+Mike Korzemba NBA 2K16 do what if the Pistons chose Melo in 03
***** he is working on it
+Evan Smith i think Wade or Bosh would have been better
+Edgar Ongjoco i feel like there would have been less chaos in the league if wade or bosh were drafted
I think Brandon Roy could've played a factor! And don't forget about the trailblazers (past) medical staff.
Lemme get this straight;
76ers: Rubio, Wiggins, Kawhi, Markieff, Vucevic, McCollum.
Wizards: Wall, Brow.
Kincks: Westbrook, Melo, Dwight.
T-Wolves: Paul, Iggy, Love, Griffin.
Blazers: Dragic, KD, Aldridge, Gortat.
Warriors: Klay, Giannis, Draymond.
Thunder: Bledsoe, Harden, Ibaka.
Kings: Lillard, Evans, Boogie.
Heat: Big 3
Magic: Steph
Watching this video made me wish KD got drafted to Portland.
+S. Balisi as a 76'ERS fan, we'd be stacked
As a heat fan, I wish this happen ends. Lebron wouldn't have left Miami.😭
+S. Balisi That's mainly because Kd come on
+S. Balisi truth
7:28 “The cold CITY of MINNESOTA”😂😂😂
Not to mention steph curry being expandable and the Knicks deciding to expand him
Freezing
Don’t call Greg oden a bust his injuries ruined him. Not his skill.
Cool guy exactly he would have been an all star at least
Cool guy he still would of been a bust

@@benwatson7459 how he was good till he got injured
Boi dose knees
Do a What if Kobe did get drafted to the hornets.
Didn't get traded from*
I said "What if".....
DatAwesomeGamer You also said "if he did get drafted to the hornets." He did, but got traded during the draft,
True, ya. My bad forgot, I meant like if he stayed with them XD
g
How about a what if video for "if LeBron James played in the 90's?" it'd be a nice mirror to your Jordan vid
I agree
Gaming4evah Lebron would have ptsd
Larry would break him fundamentally before Lebron would dunk over him.
bird would end his existence.
brandon valenti Larry bird would end Lebrons career
"Damn you Voodoo Magic!"
Imma say that everytime The Spurs make insane dealings in the draft.
He just flew right over the fact that Giannis went the warriors, now look at him, MVP🙂
Well done. I can't even imagine how long this would've taken. Probably one of the coolest videos I have ever seen.
+Cabsterr Thanks my dude!
+Mike Korzemba NBA 2K16 I definitely agree please make more of these
+Mike Korzemba NBA 2K16 do you have this ending roster available for us to download??
This is the coolest video I have ever witnessed
Thank you!
+Mike Korzemba NBA 2K16 please post another like this
Yes I agree.
+Mike Korzemba NBA 2K16 this deserves a sub
Sixers end up with a young core of McCollum, Kawhi, and Wiggins! That would be a nasty lineup!
except wiggins will fall out
Do what If David stern never vetoed the Chris Paul Trade
Andrew Zheng kobe ties mj with 6 rings.
Kobe would defo have more than 6 rings
this video is really, really, really good. I would love more of these types of videos. you earned a sub!
Hey love ur vids! I want u to do one!
Make that two subs
+Jack corridan make that 3
+Sean Murphy 4th

Due to a large wave of support from you guys and an enormous amount of requests for another What If Video, I spent the last 2 weeks of my life creating a new scenario. I hope you guys like it! (It's What if Steph Curry was Drafted By the Knicks) ua-cam.com/video/MuKe331jGhU/v-deo.html
thank you!!!!!!! i love these alot of people do these but nobody does it as good as you
+thatguywhoknowsthings so true
great video man. Could tell it took a lot of hard work for this vid
do some more ppllleeeeeaaassseeee!!!!!
these are great do another one
It’s always so easy for people to say they made a mistake in hindsight, but Oden really was a dominant 7 footer that was actually more developed than Shaq at that age, AND keep in mind that those long perimeter players were typically busts at that point in time like Darius Miles and Lamar Odom (I know Odom wasn’t a bum but the point is players with that size and style weren’t really elite, Durant changed that)
What if Allen Iverson didn't step over Tyron lue
Oges 09 he’d win the next 7 ships
Oges 09 somehow the clippers would win the 2019 World Cup seeing how these work
If you want me to be accurate then the Lakers would probably go on to go undefeated in the finals everythibg normal would happen they'd keep winning but in 2003 after having the greatest 3 year championship run in history then they'd make and win the finals that year making a few spurs players leave and after doing that a 4 peat would make them unstoppable against the pistons winning that one too meaning shaq wouldn't leave LA and they would be the most successful dynasty in NBA History easily.
Hey Guys! Due to so many nice comments and requests, I created a new "What If Video!" You can check out "What If Carmelo Anthony Was Drafted By The Detroit Pistons" Here! ua-cam.com/video/rBrj-sm9EvE/v-deo.html
how can u predict so many years in a row reallisticly? do u use 2Kgames and simulate stuff. I mean how?
+Carlos Gonzalez he did but he got traded
Can we do What if Curry got drafted to the CAVS!?! We Cavs fans need a happy ending in these what ifs
the cold city of minnosota. is minnasota a city not a state know
Mike Korzemba
@Will Robbins I can't reply directly to your comment but I am going to be doing MyTeam and MyGM videos honestly whatever you guys want to see I'm willing to do!
That's awesome, you should definitely do MyTeam. That's my favorite mode in the game. I liked the pack opening video too.
when and what team r u using for mygm
+Mike Korzemba NBA 2K16 is there going to be another one?
+frederik stenholt I hope so
Plz do a what if in 2003 the Pistons drafted Carmelo Anthony 2nd overall instead of Darko Millic
I might have spelled his name wrong
Mike, I literally remember when this first showed up on my recommended, forever a part of my childhood and helped shape my endless love for the league, thank you fr Mike. I was only 11 years old, insane to think I’m an adult now. You really have a bigger impact than you thought.
I love how this vid is so old that he doesn’t even pronounce “giannis” right
10:22 the Timberwolves played 89 games? lol
Lol
The Celtics played 81 lmao😂😂😂😂
+Getting Gains the Celtics actually only played 81 games that year due to the Boston Marathon bombing. They decided to not make it up since it was inconsequential to the final standings.
+Logan Westfall yes but the pacers also played 81
because the 82nd game for the celtics was against the pacers and that game got canceled so each team was short oneb game
What if Kevin Durant went to the Warriors?... oh wait
Stephen a smiths head would EXPLODE!
Lol
LOL Good One
EhamaDog he would choke again
LeafsFan17 Nhl 16&17 you mean win the championship?
Mike, I can even start to understand how much work you put into these videos. All de research, all the trivia you know, all the gameplay you provide, the script you make and all the editing. You deserve to be a pundit. Nice to see you've made your passion your career. Hats off
2008 Celtics
2009 Lakers
2010 Lakers
2011 Mavericks
2012 Heat
2013 Heat
2014 Trail Blazers
2015 Timber Wolves
KING WOLF KID ?
TheAnimationLads It’s all the teams who won the finals
NS25 In 2014 it was the San Antonio Spurs that won and in 2015 Warriors win their first title in 40 years.
William James it’s according to the video.
This had to take a longggg time to do lol. This is incredible.
+Jared Banks It took sooooo long but thank you!
That Greg Oden Chipotle joke was just mean. Although he can probably still dry his tears with 100's.
Do a what if on if Shaq never left Penny.
Vaijon Horton yes yes yes
Vaijon Horton but penny had injuries so there would be no point
TDB11 he had those injured because he had to play so much to cover for shaq
I Love Green Cup No he didn't he had bad knees from training. He over trained and tore some ligaments
The Knicks DEFINETELY would've won a championship
Yea
Make more of these please, I've watch this like 20 times
Just a little confused. You said that Kevin Love was with the Timberwolves, but at 1:25, on the new draft it shows him with Memphis. So that would change how well the T-Wolves actually did throughout part of the video.
+Austin Bond He was selected by memphis and traded to minnesota both in real life and in this scenario
+Mike Korzemba NBA 2K16 how did you make this video
+Mike Korzemba but why is he a generic player LMAO
+Mike Korzemba I bet the TWolves will still have Mayo since they got their PF already on BG
+TheMafiaKidCards u live in li
I love these videos I've watched all of them like 10 times
This is my favorite series on your channel
Doesn't matter who he got drafted to,after 9 years he's going to the warriors lol
Lol
How?
TripleG ...Nah...he's joining the Timberwolves.
nah he joins the knicks
Zyloh SZN o2al
Please do more of these videos, this was amazing!
You could try doing what if the Pistons didn't pick Darko milicic
+Thomas Bunting That's what I was thinking but it would take a while because it was 10+ years ago
Trey Contreras
True but it would be exciting to watch because the NBA would be so different.
Would the big 3 in Miami ever have happened?
Would the Pistions have won more than 1 title if they had a player like Carmelo to help the team?
I was thinking of asking if Michael Jordan was drafted 1st but that is too long in the past to do on this.
These are my favorite videos of your mike, I’ve been an oh fan when you were at under 100k... 59k to be exact. It would make a lot of happy and would make my day if you were able to make another OG vid. Thank you for reading
Hey man love your videos especially this one. Wish you could make this again
damnn these videos are soo amazing. The amount of thought and effort you put in these are amazing. Keep up the great work. Its so cool how these turn of events can happen with 1 draft pick
+Shayaan Ahmed Young man you are very intelligent and it shows through your creativity and complex sentence structure.
shut up scrub btw ur lucky that the portland didnt take him or the okc wouldnt be this good lol
you keep doing videos with quality like this, you're going to blow up big time man, best of luck
+ImReadyD151 Thanks my man! Thats a big compliment. Trust me, I have a ton of ideas and I'm going to be putting out a ton of quality videos
Mike Korzemba glad to hear man!
Whatever music this is, it fits in the video perfectly. Keep up the good work
Love these kinds of videos
Great Video. You should do more
Gonna do as many as I can! They take SOOO long to do so try and be patient lol
+Mike Korzemba NBA 2K16 yours are a lot better than any others I've seen. I think you should focus on these lol
+Mike Korzemba NBA 2K16 you should do if the Pistons picked Melo instead of Darko Milicic
this was fucking fire
and thats 💯💯💯facts
yep
+Jae Wall hell yeah
Atta boy Mike. You made me laugh around a dozen times. You're amazing.
There’s no point 😞
-Depressed Warriors fan
As a basketball fan I love these videos. As a Knicks fan I want to cry.....more than the Knicks already make me cry.
Man, just wanted to point out a lot of the stuff in your videos is well thought out! I always think about stuff like this and its nice to see someone putting good thought into stuff like this
Thanks man! My main focus in these types of videos is to really get into the GMs heads and make logical decisions.
+Mike Korzemba NBA 2K16 amazing video, but can you tell me the song name when you say greg keeps getting checks, that deep voice
+Mike Korzemba NBA 2K16 Np man! Stuff like this really catches my eye. Definitely earned a subscription from me!
That was amazing. Mindblown
+slicedGabe Thanks my dude!
Coming back to this in 2023 is a wild experience. Can't lie 😂
Have you ever done a what if video about Chris Paul and the Lakers trade the NBA stepped in on and denied? I’m curious to see what if any major impact on the League that trade would have had if the NBA didn’t get involved. I’d look into it to see how it plays out myself but to be honest I have no idea how you manage to keep track of every change that would unfold in these what if videos. It’s quite impressive. As always your content is top notch but every time you create a video that goes so in depth and looks at all these different aspects in detail you out do yourself. Idk how you do it but THANK YOU for doing it! Always enjoy your videos and truly appreciate the effort and attention to detail you put into all of your content. Congrats on 1 Mil! You most def deserve it!!!
what happened to you doing more what if scenarios? I loved this one and would like more
Agreed please make more
What if Pau Gasol was drafted by the Washington Wizards in 2001?
He still wouldn't be a good defender.
Best what if scenario on this channel 😀😀
Great vid! Really complex situation!
What if the pistons didn't draft Darko Milicic 2nd overall in the superstar loaded 2003 draft
This is phenomenal
+Jordan449 Thanks brotha. I'm not exaggerating when I say that this took me over 2 weeks to make lol.
Holy shit I’m getting emotional watching this for years later because I remember I watch your channel what it was at 10 K and then when I was there was when this video came out good if we are for four years later
dude what ifs are amazing make some more. i love ur vids. why don't u make a what if about Isiah Thomas i meen the one on the celtics now
12:36 coldest NBA take of all time 😭😭😭
Lmao yeah
This was a really cool vid. You should try the 2003 draft if drako wasn't drafted in top 5. Would significantly alter the league. Might be alot of work but would definitely be cool.
+GimmieDat Thats definitely on the list and thank you!
Please make more of these they are my favorite
Coming back to watch this video in November 2019 is a trip, man said the Warriors got Giannis like it was nothing
Think about this. Maybe we are in an alternate universe where Greg Oden went number one instead of Kevin Durant.
theoretically there are an unlimited number of parallel universes
so yea
+hmango111 theoretical no we arent ur just stupid
Eric Bixby ?
Eric Bixby why u salty?
Every time he does one of these videos it turns out that the knicks could have been great. Every time I get super mad cause I am a knicks fan. ARE WE CURSED? Great vid by the way, keep it up!
sell the team, Dolan.
This video blow my mind .great video
Loving these videos bro
Joel embiid aint no greg oden
so far he is looking like one though
JM_2402 bra oden never averaged 20 ppg
The Greg Oden draft was just like the 1984 draft. They chose Sam Bowie cos they had Clyde Drexler for SG which can match MJ at that time. Same thing with Greg Oden.. They don't need KD cos Brandon Roy was sensational.. The choice they made was perfect, it was just injuries that plague the Blazers.
skalawitz
The blazers were thinking of picking Kevin Durant. Brandon Roy is a SG and kd is a sf. At the time the blazers needed a sf and a center, but they thought it was a better idea to pick a center.
My guy you gotta make more of these
I've been a Blazer fan since 85. great video. little depressing lol. #RipCity
I’m watching this video in 2019 and watching this, mike says Joel Embiid doesn’t play as he is a superstar in the nba. And that the 2013 draft isn’t as bad anymore as victor oladipo as an all-star and giannis as the best player in the nba
I have a headache now 😂
Great video though.
I like this more relaxed way Mike talks on these older videos.
Man I love ur show u really know basketball please give new videos of more what if and NBA conspiracy like what if Lebron was drafted the number two pick thank u for the great what ifs
I miss these videos 😭
damn that thabet diss got me weak
This was my first Mike Korzemba video I watched!!!
You just made the greatest moment in Hawks history a footnote.
Jesus dude weren't you at 3K subs like 2 weeks ago... You blew up lol good ass video bro
+VGulTV Thanks brotha! And yeah the support has been amazing!
+Mike Korzemba NBA 2K16 I saw ur recent comment, but when will the new What if? come out, tommorow?
Why don't you make more of these? This is one of my favorite videos on UA-cam.
I'm going to! Mapping one out now!
+Mike Korzemba NBA 2K16 yes bro!!
+Mike Korzemba NBA 2K16 Awesome!
I'm from Minnesota and all these videos makes me cry. We could have been so good
You are so good at this
Mike how do you sim this? You are amazing
He called Joel Embiid Greg Oden’s reincarnated brother😂
Watching this in 2022 is a crazy experience
WE NEED MORE OF THESE VIDEOS
“Keep gettin’ them checks, Greg.”
This man predicted Jrue Holiday to the bucks
Hi Mike, love your videos, can you do a video of "what if Tim Duncan was drafted by the Grizzlies" since the Grizzlies have the best odd of #1 pick. Love to see that, thanks
5:45 "a daring strategy as they would have to give up nothing" lmao bruh you crack me up but as a knicks fan thats so painful
Damn Westbrook curry porzingod and melo damn that's team would be crazy
Watch the vid Curry was traded to Orlando
+Sebby Nazario fdghjk
3 thinggs I hate
5 you can't spel
2 you can't count
21 you ask for likes
Please like
When curry was traded to Orlando in the vid that was the stupidest move for any team as Curry started to get better and Howard started to get worse at this point, Knicks would have had more success if they kept Curry
You know what I just realized. Bradon knight would've never been posterized by DJ if this happened
that intro was well done lol
DAMN YOU VOODOO MAGIC!
