I Exposed The Biggest Lie The NBA Ever Told 

he would have been still looked at as a bus rider like kevin durant. cp3 harden westbrick kd. none of them are winners. kd hasnt been relevant before he was on golden state and has not been anything relevant since

@@nomercyinc6783cap KD a bus driver lil bro , at age 22 he carried his team to the finals

One thing I will say for KD: He may be a jerk or have a big ego, his championships may not mean as much as others, but credit where it’s due: In 2017, he averaged 35 in a finals series on nearly 70% true shooting. I don’t care what team you’re on, that’s a great performance.

@@nomercyinc6783 I'd say Paul being traded in his 7th season is pretty different from KD going to Golden State in his 10th season. And KD had many contending teams before going to GS but came up short. Paul didn't have any contending teams in New Orleans and didn't really choke and hadn't been considered to have choked.

Cp3 would’ve got hurt in the playoffs

Lakers wouldn't have done anything man stop it. Heat washing them and so were the young thunder any day.

@@NewRimHoopsyou forget the lakers just went to 3 straight finals and mavs beat the heat that very year so yes they would have beaten them😂

@@Letthat I think you're forgetting WHY the Mavs beat the Heat. Either way, the heat WASHED the Thunder who washed the Lakers. if the Lakers get CP3, it would still be INCREDIBLY hard to get passed the Thunder. Then they would still have to get passed an amazing Spurs team who OKC beat in a close 6 games. Then finally you would face a Heat team with everyone still pretty much in their prime. Prime LeBron without any malfunctioning, DWade before the knees, and CB was still great this year. Along with the fact that the heat had some solid depth too which the Lakers would have lacked after the trade. Losing Pau would be a huge blow for 2012 and I don't think they get passed OKC. in 2013 though, they have a really good shot to make the finals with Dwight assuming he stays healthy. But they would be beaten by a Heat team with the best version of LeBron on both sides of the court. DWade, although he did now have his knee stuff, he was still great. Bosh usually came up when it mattered and the heat added a, sure aging, but still accurate Ray Allen along with their depth. You're also forgetting that Kobe, although still great, was getting older. Although if he stays healthy I don't think his age matters.

@@NewRimHoopskind of agree here but still would have been fun to watch bron vs a sort of prime Kobe.

exactly think of the butterfly effect of David Stern doing this. this blocked trade lead to that disasterous Nash trade as the team looked desperately to get Kobe a point guard in 2013, which led to the team being so bad Kobe had to literally play every minute of every game down the stretch to make the playoffs, which led to him tearing his Achilles which essentially ended his career. that year went so bad Howard also left in free agency. I 100% believe if this trade went through we would have gotten 3 more years of good Kobe after 2013, bc cp3 would have been the perfect remedy to take the pressure off Kobe and ease his workload, extending his career. I believe his final 3 years could have been akin or slightly better than Wizards Jordan. some other things ia Kobe would have gotten another ring, cp3 would have gotten a ring, Dwight would have a ring a lot sooner. that's 3 players alone whose legacies are drastically different just off the top of my head.

​@cvaye818 also if they win a championship, Kobe could potentially have a other Finals MVP which could have raised his status in most people's GOAT Debates. Meaning he would probably be a lock for a Top 3-5 instead of people debating his place in the Top 10

I’ve also heard the Howard trade didn’t pan out either. Though Nash was more washed up

Very possible

Kobe couldn’t get out of the first round without Pau, no way he makes a deep playoff run if they traded Pau for Chris Paul. CP3 has proven to either be hurt or choke every post season. Plus Kobe has already become the most overrated NBA superstar ever, the last thing logical fans needed was CP3 to carry Kobe to his 6th ring.

@@ge8198nigga what ?

All Facts. Can't really say I'm surprised at how this video went tho, the league got some of these guys under the wing.....

Odom said he only wanted to play for the Lakers and would not report to the Hornets (now Pelicans) and would retire. Even when Odom ended up as a Maverick he was checked out after they traded him.

No! Lamar Odom said he only wanted to play for the Lakers and would not play for the Hornets (now Pelicans) if that trade would have went through that would have been the death of the franchise in New Orleans and we was struggling at the time (especially after Katrina) so Stern did save us. But the league has been helping franchises for years. That's what they do. Go all the way back to Patrick Ewing (a Big East player that played in the Garden in college being funneled to the Knicks), the Bulls fresh after Jordan getting 2 Top 4 picks (Chandler and Curry) in 2001 then the following year getting then Jason Williams #2 in the draft in 2002 (even though for whatever reason none of that worked out that doesn't mean it didn't happen), Jordan deciding to come back for 2 years till LeBron graduated in 2003 from high school because the league was struggling for ratings, LeBron being funneled to Cleveland (from the area), D. Rose (from there funneled to Chicago), all the times the Pelicans and Cavaliers got 1 overall picks. The league especially back the put players where they wanted to for financial reasons. But with the rise of "player empowerment" they can no longer do that. The fact a player can defacto own his own sports agency while playing is a conflict of interest in itself (LeBron James Klutch Sports), but because his worshippers love him so much they will not see the problem in that. But the league has been corrupt. But for once it didn't work in the Lakers favor (notice they didn't have a problem with Jerry West brokering a deal for his former team to fleece the Grizzlies outta Pau Gasol for Kwame Brown and some throwins) it's this big conspiracy. Had they not did that Kobe was on his way to the Bulls or Clippers. But this time it's a problem GTFOH.

At the time tho, Eric Gordon and the 10th pick seemed better than what the Lakers were giving up.

you can tell youre a biased fan boy. kevin and luis where old and dogshit. and lamar only wanted to play for la and said he would not report. the reality is the lakers trade was garbage

LDS

Then who are the bad guys

The problem was that the Laker's believed they were dealing with the decision maker in Demps. My recollection is that the Lakers kind of had to trade the players that were in the CP trade because they were unhappy about being traded.

because its more fun to spin a big conspiracy and narrative then to do with the reality.

@@beamo1220 well yea that was the bigger part, because it had actually been an official done deal trade, I only really remember Pau being upset, Kobe and CP3 upset because they had apparently already been on the phone discussing what they would do, Lamar Odom was livid after that as well

I’m sure the Clippers were glad to have him given everything they’d done before that.

@@fortynights1513 I guess David Stern was to save 2 franchises with one trade.

@@ThePhenomenalOne13 The Clippers already had Blake Griffin. Maybe they make a postseason or two with him and not Chris Paul, but they certainly aren't a perennial playoff team without CP3.

That part irritated me too. You send him across the hall. A reminder that we couldn't get him and that was also the downfall of Lamar Odom as well. All bad

A slap in the face to all Lakers fan tbh cuz we all knew we bout to run it for 3 yrs

I appreciate you !

Nash was getting old, but I wonder how he had such a bad drop off from one year to the next.

This is a lie and a blatant rewriting of history. The fact is, Nash was handling the ball early in the season....and was doing a bad job of it. He was old and slow and not his old self. He could still shoot, but he couldn't get to his spots the the same. That's when Kobe took up point guard responsibilities and actually did pretty well. They decided to put Nash at shooting guard, because while he couldn't move, he could still knock down open shots. Ultimately this wasn't a winning formula, but it was a logical move with the pieces they had at the time. That's why Kobe took ball handling abilities. Not because he was "selfish" and holding Nash back or something.

@@Biggiiful Kobe was a ball stopper and that’s why it was impossible to get a rhythm with him pounding the ball

@@alfredoladino9838 Exactly,

Dog Nash was hurt and washed it happened hella fast

Hope you have a great time there brother, those were 4 of the best years of my life... go to class more than me lol

@@MikeKorzemba 😂😂😂 bro giving advice

i'm pretty sure a free agency signing can't be vetoed by the commisioner.. so still it's a conspiracy theory ad far from reality..

LDS. one was a trade the other was free agents sighing massive difference. also, he didn't veto the kg and ray to the Celtics. was that to help LeBron win too? just face it you're a schizo who cant engage with reality.

Same! Or Bosh! Or Wade! Good Lord it was almost as bad as in 2005's what if Sheed had not left Robert Horry open for a 3 in game 5!

kd signed in free agency

The complete opposite

Pau Gasol was going to the Rockets so him being a good player does not matter.

Damn whea u been😭

bro what

Rip mafia boss. Ok

Maybe... they still get a chip... maybe and Lebron doesn't go on to the Cavs and win and certainly never comes to LA

you gotta learn the truth 🤷‍♂

Learn about what exactly?

we’re on off season

That is just his opinion. Arenas never said he had inside info, its just what he thinks.

They owned the Hornets. David Stern was the owner of the team. He is not the owner of any team Durant has ever been on.

Yup. Unsubscribed.
