This One Mistake Changed The NBA Forever 

Not to mention, if not for that injury against the Spurs, Steph would have never have signed for such a team friendly contract, which allowed the Warriors to retain Klay Thompson and eventually sign KD. Steph's injury might be the most significant NBA moment in the last 15 years.

It makes my day when this man uploads!!!!

That intro was 4 minutes of pure adrenaline filled anticipation in seeing 'where is jxmy going with this'. The end result is always the same. pure genius.

As a Cameroonian and a big fan of your video, thank you for telling that first story!Keep doing the great job Jxmy

I can't lie, seeing Steph, Giannis & Middleton together in their primes would've been fun.

The fact that Kobe, Shaq, JORDAN, AND MAGIC almost played on the same team is mind boggling

Another absolute banger of a video. You do better videos than majority million dollar productions. The research, the music, the atmosphere, the editing, the evidence, the ability to keep every section of the video feeling just as important as the last. It’s amazing what happens in life and what it leads to.

i wish you could have your own weekly show on ESPN, your storytelling and way with words and just pure knowledge of the game is amazing. you deserve so much more recognition for the work you put in.

Steph and Giannis tandem would be unstoppable

I doubt you’ll see this but man, your intros are hooking, you keep us entertained throughout, you are the definition of a great content creator. Compelling stories, theories, stats and all that. Thanks man

As a long time Bucks fan, hearing that Curry story causes me excruciating pain

You know you're making amazing content when I actually watch your content more than the actual game itself. Great storytelling and news reporting. Never stop Jimmy, but if you do, you will be missed but its okay.

There was almost a series of events that would have lead to Hakeem Olajuwon and Michael Jordan both playing for the Houston Rockets. Imagine that dynamic duo.

The mistake was when the Rockets decided to not trade Ralph Sampson to the Blazers for Clyde Drexler. They also would have had the 3rd pick in the 1984 Draft. Guess who they would have picked? This is all stated in Hakeem’s autobiography.

Dude I’m a die hard NFL fan but you make such compelling NBA videos I can’t help but be glued to my screen and then wanting more. Your story telling and narration is out of this world!

Jimmy needs a netflix series or som. His videos are always so high quality with some type of plot.

This man never disappoints. Thanks for making everyone’s day

it’s crazy to think that kobe and mj could’ve been on the same team. probably wouldn’t have worked very well, but still crazy

I can’t imagine the amount of research that this man does to produce this caliber of content. Exceptional 👌

Crazy attention to detail. Showing footage of Joel at the beginning without ever showing his face until revealing his name just to add more build up, putting more focus on the crazy story. We all knew who it was, but little things like this are so good. Best bball vids in the game

In 2014 Barcelona scouted a young player in Europe, made a deal with his agent, all that was left is to sign a contract but just for fun they watched a game together where that player had the worst game of his life and Barcelona backed out from the deal. That player is now 2x MVP, and this years finals MVP, Nikola Jokic. If he signed for Barcelona that day, no way Denver contacts him and none of this happens.

Not to mention his ankle issues were a big reason the Warriors didnt want to pay him max money. That was a main factor in them being able to afford KD.

fantastic intro segment for the Joel Embiid signing it feels safe to say that you've ascended past being a top basketball youtuber and into the echelon of top video essayist RU-vidrs in general. I remember back when I first started getting into basketball, shortly after Kobe Bryant passed away. Your video on Giannis is why he's my favourite player right now (not beating the bandwagon allegations). And to see that intro segment, presented as if it was an emplemon or a lemino or a summoning salt. Im not sure what the crossover is between basketball fans and video essay enjoyers but I mean that as the highest compliment

Im from Cameroon, im so glad to see jxmy talk deeply about my homeland like this.

There is one good butterfly effect about Philly and their process, so in season 2005 draft Lakers drafted Andrew Bynum, he came out of high school and was 18, became the youngest starter ever (i think) as the Lakers got better over the years Bynum was also becoming really good as he was the 3rd best player in the championship Lakers squad, and later after all he finally became an All Star at the age of 25 and he was considered the best center in the league behind Dwight, but in 2012 off-season he got traded to Philly in that big Dwight Howard trade package, and he was supposed to be next great Philly star, but he got injured while bowling lol, and he never played a single game for them, and because they traded Andre Iguodala in that Dwight Howard trade, they were bad, and they started their process, where they landed guys like Embiid and Simmons, who they turned into James Harden and also they got Jimmy Butler, cuz they traded Dario Saric who was also part of the process, so if it wasnt for Andrew Bynum injuring himself on the bowling, they would never got Embiid and Harden

Today's Fact: The first video game to feature voice acting was 'Cliff Hanger' in 1983.

I've been watching your vids for years and you keep on getting better at your craft. This is what it means to be a content creator. One of the best storytelling on the platform.

You are so good are this story telling and research. Love it

Embiid would lowkey be insane at volleyball too

this video hit me so hard. jimmy knows how to create color in story like no one else. the goat of NBA storytelling, and if one day he decides to move on to bigger bounds, I know he'd EASILY kill it

Your videos are always so well crafted, thanks for the work you do.

I love these types of videos that detail some of the great what if’s. Endless possibilities, you should do more!

Wow I’m floored Steph and Giannis would’ve been insanity at the same time I think golden state helped Steph become the 3 point marksman he is

jimmy, you have a talent man, i couldn’t stop watching

That beginning was beautifully crafted. I admire your ability to do so man, keep it up

Bro. Really good. Great stories delivered excellently, in a cohesive format.

I know I’m not the only one that just love how he tells/narrates a story in sports history! Keep it up Jimmy

You said it: everything went exactly how it was supposed to. And it’s beautiful because of it. Great video!

Bro, I want to personally thank you for the awesome amount of research you do before posting a video. It’s amazing how good of a content you create making it relevant, interesting and informative for all of us. Respect from Israel!

Lowkey frustrating to think we had the chance to see Shaq Kobe and MJ on the same team and it didn't happen

It’s always a good day when jimmy uploads

In hindsight now that we’ve seen the peak of Steph and his accomplishments, it’s wild to know that it doesn’t matter how it went down all those years ago he still would’ve had a hof career either way

Always an amazing take on things that very few can see. Thanks for existing and making these videos!

Excellent research Jxmy!!! Well done!

ESPN HAS GOT TO BE WATCHING THIS JIMMY. Seriously.. the story telling, the music selection, the clips used.. basketball RU-vid G.O.A.T. I lost interest in basketball after Reggie Miller retired. I was heart broken. The story telling on this youtube channel brings me back but from a different angle. NBA, ESPN somebody please!! PAY THIS MAN!!

I absolutely love it when Jxmy does these stories!

Its absolutely insane to me that this guy is not a viral badketball channel at this point. The video concepts are great and as someone that has stopped even watching basketball awhile back, youre videos are still so interesting. I feel like youre going to blow up even more if you keep improving

These videos are always so well made. You have amazing story telling abilities. Much love from Mexico Keep doing your thing bro

Jxmmy is such a good storyteller man, I'm hooked whenever he talks about hoops and I can't figure it out.

Jimmy is one of the few story tellers left on this platform. Love the work!

Jxmy always uploading when needed the most

This was a GREAT idea for a video since there are so many of these stories that beed to be told in greater detail. Example would be Tim Duncan ALMOST going to Orlando to team up with prime Tracy McGrady and veteran Grant Hill.

Love the videos man keep it up

Every time I watch one of these videos I get a shiver down my spine. I can't say that for any other content creator out there.

Already a top 5 Jimmy video for me. I love butterfly effect stories

That MJ story is insane to even think about. Would've been something else.

amazing video man, truly inspirational

Bro i can keep listening to your analysis all day!!

Right on time play boy 💪🏾

That was literally one of the best videos I've ever watched. Been here since like 300k, Jimmy never disappoints.

Man hope some day you have the chance to do big documentaries! Your content is beyond expectations. It is superb. Respect brother! ♥

These were incredible stories! Love this type of content, especially when it comes from the youtube basketball goat

It's always a good day when jxmy uploads

Bro I been watching you for the past 4 years almost and I can say this video solidified you my dawg you’ve made videos way more in depth than this but the quality you bring to videos is so immense it’s incredible. Much love my brother great video . Just imagine if we had Mike Kobe and Shaq there goatness would be so unimaginable it’s crazy, but just like you said if MJ went to LA(lebron Stans arrive) Kobe most likely doesn’t become the mamba. But in the same breath MJ was out the door so Kobe would’ve had more of an on court coach with phill to literally become MJ 2.0 and Shaw damn near stays with the Phil and MJ mentoring him it would’ve been some shit we couldn’t even fathom Once again much love bro great work on the video

Thank you for the upload Jimmy!

It’s been a long time since this man posted his butterfly effect video….

Everyone’s day gets better when jxmy posts

You never disappoint 👌🏾

I love how much I learn from all the videos you put out.

Had to pause the video after that embiid story. Bro as a 76ers fan hearing that still even after knowing about it is so amazing. I feel so bad for embiid sometimes too man. Praying this szn works out

Crazy that the ankle injury almost caused the warriors to trade Steph. It would’ve been wild seeing him being paired with Giannis and Middleton.

Straight Up, your production and knowledge is Top Tier, equivalent if not better than the NBA/ESPN, clearly shows you love Basketball just like me, I digest every video dropped, keep it up brotha Passion extremely evident

Awesome content as always Jimmy

Man that bucks team with steph would be more unfair than the KD warriors, and shaq+kobe+jordan? LMAO that's just insane, a 5 peat waiting to happen

Any day jxmy uploads is a good day

One of the best videos I’ve seen on RU-vid. Brought back so many memories thank you

The way you set these videos/topics up is absolutely top notch. A goat in your own right.

My day gets better when jxmy uploads. Btw you should do the best dynasties ever to settle which one was the best. Do it your style with players, championships, mvp’s etc. This is just a suggestion and you don’t have to do it if you want. You’ll still be my favourite RU-vidr.

The fact that Jxmy researches all of this stuff to make us videos is amazing!

Bro your videos get better and better every time

Every video you make is great, but this one is awesome. Time well spend! Way to go man!

Always making great videos keep it up ❤

Curry and Giannis would have been very fun to watch. I do not know how well they would have mixed, but it definitely would have been one of the all time great duos

Wow. Awesome vid man. Thanks for this.

Insane how well done these videos are. 10/10 pitch perfect

Jxmy keeping us sane in the offseason with these uploads 🙌 and easily the best content throughout the season

You know it’s a good day when jimmy drops

Keep grinding Jimmy u got me back to basketball with ur goat pyramid video

I always get goosebumps on my body watching your videos, as always great video!

This video gave me chills. Also made me think about Lebron in his early cavs days. If they had built a real championship contender team around Lebron, maybe he wouldve never turned into the 275lb athletic behemoth he was in his Miami days, and wouldve never wanted to go back to Cleveland to give his city arguably his best championship.

The only thing I have against the whole Steph and Giannis duo back then is that Steve Kerr was a major reason Steph became shooter he was today. He implemented the motion offense and introduced a new way of shooting, without that Steph would still be a great traditional point guard, but maybe not the player he is today if Kerr isn't coaching him.

Man I LOVE this video! Eerie good.

Man these videos are such fire! ESPN hire this guy

Bucks don't need Steph now they got Dame 😂

This story was great thank you for sharing it!

Dang, this may be one of my new favorite videos on RU-vid. Love this

I want to narrate stories like you do, Jxmy. You're a blessing to the basketball world

Man, that's crazy. Wow. Thanks for the upload.

Can we just appreciate how Jimmy never fails to strap me to a chair in his basement, deprive me of food and water, and force me to watch 90s basketball clips 24/7?❤

Gwan Jxmy!! Definitely one of your best videos. 🎉
