How would the NBA be right now if?

Question

The Celtics never existed

Answer 1

it would be like teams from the movie semi-pro taking over. if yall even seen that movie lol

Answer 2

I'm No Celtics Fan But That Would Be Like Taking Genesis Out The Bible

(Can't Believe You Didn't Get A Star Before This Good Question)

Answer 3

SO much better.

Answer 4

Lakers by now would have had 30 championship, Jordan would have moved up in the play-offs in the 80's, The NBA would never have had a single champion for 8 years, Elgin Baylor could have earned his titles... And the league may have never known how to play defense. Bill Russell instigated defense in the league with his Boston stalwarts taking that out well you get this league "geared towards offense".

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Umm...Larry Legend will have never been a Celtic, The Laker-Celtic Rivalry will never have existed, Red Auerbach will never have won 9 NBA Titles, Why the h**l am I wasting my time with this question?

Answer 6

Who knows, The Pistons would be the Best in the east

Answer 7

The NBA would switch places with the NHL. No Celtic vs. Laker rivalry, which means a lot less viewers and a whole lot less tension. The Celtics are one the biggest factors that has made the NBA popular.

Answer 8

The lakers would be in the celtics position.

Answer 9

Better because boston is g*y

Answer 10

Would probably look like that league that was in that Will Ferrell movie a few months ago.  I didn't see the movie, just the previews, but from what I saw, it would look like that.

Answer 11

Uh well... there would be a lot of good players in the free agency that's for sure

Answer 12

GREAT !!!! ive never seen a team with so many asswholes i mean kg paul pierce house sam cassel pj brown it would be a good time

Answer 13

Lebron would have kicked Kobe.

Answer 14

The Pistons would have had at least 2 more championship rings!!!

1. No Bird ( No steal on the inbound pass from Isiah)

2. No K.G. ( No dominating Rasheed in the post)

Answer 15

what would the solar system be with out the sun...?

imagine: ABC then CBS trying to sell the NBA product MINUS Wilt v. Bill then after a decade or so of GREATLY diminished interest by the general public (worse attendance and ratings than the NHL by then) eventually Magic v. Larry...

did you happen to notice the SPIKE in ratings this year (have you heard of this phenomenon called advertising revenue?)...

(hint: dark and DEAD)

Answer 16

The NBA would be different, Lord knows the 1980's would have been different. It likely would have been a Pistons/Lakers matchup every year. Boston holds a lot of history for the league that's for sure.
