Steve Francis+FollowWhat If Kawhi Never Got Hurt vs the Warriors in 2017?Game 1 of the 2017 West Finals — the Spurs led 78–55 when Kawhi Leonard went down with an ankle injury after Zaza Pachulia’s closeout. Golden State came back, won the game, and went on to sweep the series, finishing the playoffs with a historic 16–1 record. But what if Kawhi stayed healthy? Could the Spurs have stolen Game 1 — and maybe more? Even if they didn’t win the series, they might have been the team to prevent Golden State’s legendary 16–1 playoff run. Do you think the Spurs could’ve pulled it off, or were the Warriors just too loaded? #KawhiLeonard #Warriors #Spurs #NBAWhatIf #NBAPlayoffs #NBADebate #ZazaEffects #NBAHistory #Sports 143Share
Beth Holland+FollowPaul Pierce on LeBron’s Legendary Game 6 in BostonPaul Pierce looked back on LeBron James’ iconic Game 6 performance in the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals: “He came to Boston, Game 6, I think it was in 2012, and he gave me the 40-something piece, because I was about to go back to the Finals. He played the game of his life... I helped him get over the top, because I had to test his mental, his physical, and that’s why he’s one of the GOATs.” LeBron dropped 45 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 assists to force a Game 7 — one of the greatest elimination-game performances in NBA history. Even Pierce admits that night was a defining moment that elevated LeBron into the GOAT conversation. #LeBronJames #PaulPierce #NBAPlayoffs #NBAHistory #GOATDebate #BasketballDebate #Sports 131Share
