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
Mikan supporting the 3 point shot is like when a dad tells his kid, "ok, if you shoot it from behind this line, I'll give you an extra point", so the kid thinks he has a chance.
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.
I love this channel. After a good warmup in the gym I’ll sit for a few minutes and watching your videos. My NBA knowledge has dramatically increased for watching you.
@@MVPJoelEmbiid same when I first started watching basketball I didn’t know anything but I started watching his videos and I learned a lot, playing 2k helped too.
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.
I do feel sorry for Anthony Carter (A.C.), though. I'm from Hawai'i and A.C. was one of the greatest players to come out of our state. Glad his mistake benefited the Miami Heat, all the same. 💁🏻♂️🏀👍
It’s insane how it works out that the Heat missed out on the player they wanted but got Dwayne Wade instead, I can’t even imagine the Heat without Wade
Everyone talks about how Miami recruited LeBron in free agency, the pitches, etc. But nobody talked about Chris Bosh - I can only imagine the pitch. Riley (after spilling his rings on the table): You know, you were the guy we wanted to draft in the first place over Wade - and had we done so, this 2006 ring would have been yours. Bosh: Give me the pen then.
It's like if Jimmy wouldn't have got Harnia during his college peak time, we wouldn't be watching one of the greatest analyst of all time not only in basketball but all sports combined.
@@attoboi9763 Just watched his Cushings video. Really good too. Thanks for the suggestion. Any specific videos from him that you think are really good?
@@fogelmclovin2694 theres really a lot, the one about the college kid murdered my his teammate is probably his best video, but just go to most popular and watch imo
That Levert one I literally stay up at night thinking about. Anyone from Bk or any big Nets fans know about Levert and how good he is. He’s one of my favorite players, and it was so tough losing him. But finding out that it saved his life was dumbfounding to me.
@@xiunitv4513 Kinda trash in the NBA still puts him in the top few hundred players in the world, hands down. And he scored a bit under 20 PPG, not really trash. An above average player at worst.
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.
@@JonathanWaterbury there is no telling how the series would turn out and maybe the Rockets would have won anyway. But if Nick hits a couple of free throws the Magic win game 1 and aren't swept. That Magic team was young but very talented.
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.
Got to say, i got goosebumbs somehow, when Jxmy said this man George Mikan was Born nearly a hundred years ago and then seeing clips of his game in black and white in the meantime. In the world of sports thats like it‘s happened in ancient Greece
Remember when George Mikkan played for Constantinopole Eagles for 3 seasons? That contract created a butterfly effect that saw the rise of Chinese leagues and NBA players playing overseas
A massive respect shout-out for the video. Really appreciate the level of research required to put something like this together. Keep up the quality work!
You're storytelling through the NBA landscape is nothing short of exceptional. Your player/ stat charts bring perspective to an otherwise unimaginable field of information. Thank you for providing depth to what might otherwise be a more flattened underling NBA story.
It's fax tho. If naismith's students found a way to play football during the winter then he wouldn't have created a game that can be played in the indoors which we now know as basketball.
You should totally have a "butterfly effect" video series. This would be really interesting to consider in the NBA. You should do one on how Steph's ankle injury kept him from getting traded to the Timberwolves & how that rippled through time.
When jimmy uploads you sit down and attentively listen and put all your attention into the video and don’t focus on anything else. Thanks Jimmy for teaching us some new nba information.
Exactly. Other videos I kinda put on and just listen and do other things while it’s playing. When Jimmy uploads a video, I make time and sit down and give my full attention. Love the videos man
I'm going to say this is one of the best NBA videos I have ever seen. This was an amazing example of the butterfly effect on the hardwood. Great freaking job bro. Now that's how you create dope content!
Wow, man. This was some of your best work yet. Mind boggling how you came up with some of these insights and narratives, and the stories were crazier in succession. I haven’t watched ball for well over a decade, but I’ve watch all your videos. The product is incredibly polished.
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.
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
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
I started watching this with a "yeah but you could attribute every personnel move to somebody's championship down the road," but this was very interesting and quite credible. Your voice is a pleasure to listen to.
I am surprised you didn't mention all of the rules changes that were implemented because of Mikan's play on the court. Goaltending exists because he used to rip balls off the rim before they could go in. They also widened the lane because of him and introduced the shot clock.
*Probably top 3 most mind blowing videos you’ve ever made. Incredible execution of this knowledge, man. I literally said “wow, this is amazing.” Out loud* 😤
Dude wtf LaVert has ALWAYS been a beast. Injuries had derailed his early career but when he was the court he was ballin. Remember he also had a horrific nearly career ending injury while having a career year and we're all glad to see him bounce back strong! Come on man Dude was a fantasy regular in our league for years

Awesome as always. As an ABA nerd, I feel obligated to state that Mikan was not involved in the Slam Dunk Contest since he resigned as ABA Commissioner in 1969.

Now that I am back into it I discovered Jxmy and I have to thank you. You make the best content on UA-cam.

The part about Mikan is fantastic. Its crazy how never before have i heard any announcer reference this. Whether it be college or the NBA. Thank you for that piece if history.
Would love for you to do a video on the Dr J trade that had to happen to allow the Nets into the league. NBA at the time couldn't allow that nets team to come in and run through their teams because they didn't want to get embarrassed by a team from the ABA. If I remember correctly the Nets were forced to sell Irving to the 76ers who then became an NBA dynasty with Dr J at the helm
Jimmy,...thank you. Thank you for these videos. Every time I watch your videos im in love with your craft of storytelling. I don't even watch because of basketball at this point. I watch for all the knowledge that you have and only then do I love the game

Hey bro I just wanted t say the amount of research and time you spend on these videos really pays off! I love your videos! Keep up the good work, so interesting. Go bulls
The Anthony Carter story? I’m hyped you never fail to surprise me with these stories man🤞🏼
This video was on a whole another level. Like from start to finish I was waiting for the next step of each butterfly effect.
I love seeing the chain of events that arrives at unexpected conclusions. It's like learning that Silly Putty was actually the result of byproducts in the manufacturing of napalm.
Your content is on another level man… I can only imagine how much work you put into this video.
Hi JxmyHighroller! Watching from Philippines!
I love the channel!I was a longtime basketball fan. Peaked as a young boy watching Jordan into my teens. I played but had stopped with my fathers passing in 04. 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 UA-cam.
I’m so glad this channel is popping off. I’ve been subbed for a minute and you consistently make the best sports videos on the platform. Keep up the great work!
8:15 Damn did not know A D was also a girl 🤣🤣🤣
You should update the championship difficulty chart every year so we know pls 🥺 also let us have your personal opinion on the season
This might just be the most amazing video on basketball that I have ever seen. Just brilliant. Amazing.
I love videos like these. Ive heard of a lot of diffrent butterfly effects but this one is the cream of the crop
Such amazing content. I’m just in shock of how great this was
This was amazing. Thank you for the great content you put out. It is greatly appreciated.
left me in awe my brother some of the best important NBA work you maybe have EVER did on social media
I swear, whenever I watch Jimmy's videos, I always need popcorn on standby lol
This is probably one of the best videos I've seen on your channel. Don't get me wrong, all your videos are awesome, but this was just wow! Thank you for putting this up.
Thx for making this video it’s my favourite video of yours
Keep up the great work 😊🫶
the "d'angelo butterfly" save levert life
If Nick didn't cheat on his fiancee saved Leverts life lmao
The part about Mikan is fantastic. Its crazy how never before have i heard any announcer reference this. Whether it be college or the NBA. Thank you for that piece if history.
Would love for you to do a video on the Dr J trade that had to happen to allow the Nets into the league. NBA at the time couldn't allow that nets team to come in and run through their teams because they didn't want to get embarrassed by a team from the ABA. If I remember correctly the Nets were forced to sell Irving to the 76ers who then became an NBA dynasty with Dr J at the helm
Jimmy, you're definitely the GOAT.
My man bringing chaos theory into this. Educating stuff bro!
Jimmy,...thank you. Thank you for these videos. Every time I watch your videos im in love with your craft of storytelling. I don't even watch because of basketball at this point. I watch for all the knowledge that you have and only then do I love the game
Can we get a part 2 because this was great.
I honestly hope to god you get a Netflix show , this is amazing I actually had goosebumps!
With enough mental gymnastics, everything has a butterfly effect
Some great research as always...although I must say some of the conclusions drawn are a bit of a stretch...
R.I.P KOBE AND HIS CHILD MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN PEACE LEGEND'S YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED LEGEND'S 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕊️🕊️😞💔😭👑
Wow this video was incredible and thank you George the moments we have gotten from the silly three point line are incredible
