This is one of the best “what if” NBA videos I’ve ever seen. Bravo
-
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.

LeVert's story truly was a blessing holy sht
-
Jimmy be saving us on the down days
-
Damn Jimmy always come in clutch when i got my food ready
-
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...
-
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
-
your videos are normally great but this was incredible
-
this man's mistake was a blessing in disguise 😂
-
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.
-
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 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.
-
That LeVert story is scary asf. That can literally happen to ANYBODY.
-
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!
-
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
-
Bruh I needa watch this. He makes all his videos feel deep and interesting.
-
Jimmy's videos are the type of ones you drop everything you're doing and watch attentively
-
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 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.
