If Oden and Roy didn't have injury problems, they would be running the West, not OKC.

Not really.
Which is why it was bizarre that he went #1 in the draft. He wasn't even the top ranked senior coming out of HS that year. Or the second.
He must have dunked from the 3 point line in his pre draft workout with the Wizards. Otherwise I have no idea how he was the top pick that year.

This is a funny thread.
I remember back when I was playing NBA Live 03 on Franchise mode and about 5 years in, Desagnia Diop improved to like a 95 overall and was winning MVPs like it was nothing. First 4-peat MVPer of all time. The Cavs were running everything. lol

Juice is a good / average athlete & is 6-4 with no Point guard skills so he celling wasn't much higher than what it is right now a good NBA player
a 41 inch vert is a lil better than good/average athleticism i would think
So? That doesn't make him any less athletic. Athleticism doesn't know names

You don't understand that saying they SHOULD be better is saying that they have a higher potential rating?
Why do you feel McGee SHOULD be better than Dwight?

A.I.
if son had just taken practice more seriously. and worked on other aspects of the game...ohhh weeee. (yeah we're talkin bout practice)
dude could already do it all, if he had just stayed in the gym a few more nights instead of the club, he could've done it all....better.
shaq definitely.
penny too.
i think lebron lived up to the hype from hs, of being this incredible player in the nba, but not so much his potential. or hell, maybe he has. maybe he's maxing out his body potential now and maybe he maxed out his mental potential in '07. maybe its our fault because we expected more from him, but in reality he's doing exactly what he should be..

The what if's.....We can say if Petrovich was in the league now, if Gugliotta developed a post game and had some heart, if Kenny Skywalker had a jumper, Shawn Kemp stayed off the crack, and if Marbury and KG stayed together....
If Kobe had MJ's hands..... I don't give a dang about Lebron having the killer instinct, VC with the work ethic and if T-mac stayed healthy.

Wouldn't the Clipper of the early 2000's, with Odom, Miles, QRich , etc.. have been running the west?

VC would be compared to MJ and Kobe if he didn't have half a heart. Dude was that talented. His trajectory early on was that high. But we know the rest..

Am I the only one who thinks that A.I. would not have been much better if he had a different attitude?? I mean given his size, how much better could he have become?

Harold Minor would be #3 behind MJ as the third best scorer ever.

AI would still be in the league now if that happened, though otherwise I do agree there's not much else he could have done better. Also the trailblazers as a whole could be one of the top teams now, if their top players were still healthy and playing.
