Most people will say what if the Pistons draft Melo or Wade? but a much more significant was what if the retarded owners don't fire Rick Carlisle, I think the Piston win at least 3 championships and are still a powerhouse today.

SERIOUSLY. If he hadn't been hurt so much he could've been one of the GOAT

How good could the Orlando Magic have been with Tracy McGrady, a healthy Grant Hill, and if Tim Duncan had signed with them as a FA in 2000 like he almost did?

What if the Colts take Leaf instead of Manning? I heard manning say once that it was a tougher decision than people realize.


I guess you weren't around then

Many people thought they should take Leaf

because as time has passed people have forgotten that it was Leaf who had the "higher ceiling" as man scouts said.

He had a higher ceiling alright. It was just in the criminal business. I mean, who else gets out of prison for B&E and narcotics and less then 2 hours after your release, you're already wanted for doing the same thing? That takes a special kind of criminal. One who had a high ceiling.

It doesn't deserve to be on the greatest what if list but one day "What if the colts had the 2nd pick in the 2012 draft?" will be a good one.

What if.... bear with me...this is gonna be a little Cleveland heavy lol. We are a pained sports city.


Earnest Byner doesnt fumble?

Tiger stayed loyal to his wife?

Michael Jordan never retires the 1st time?

The Cleveland Browns never moved to Baltimore?

Bernard King had good knees?

Babe Ruth was never traded?

What if Jordan missed the shot over Ehlo?

2 biggest in history for me:

What if Sox don't trade Babe Ruth to Yanks?

What if Henry Rowengartner doesn't break his arm?

Henry threw like a girl before he broke his arm, but the Mets would've obviously missed the playoffs, even though I fail to see how a closer made them win games and hit better, but I digress that Henry would've never been popular because he threw like a girl and ends up being a construction worker in NY.

Henry just provided so much spark. He was basically pre-Tim Tebow. Motivated the whole team. Even play by play man John Candy.

And how could I forget that Henry used psychological tactics to get under pitchers skin. That obviously explains the offensive output.

The kid saved Gary Busey's pitching career. That alone is a feat second only to Christ's resurrection.
