  1. NBA: The Difference a Trade (or no Trade) Makes
    Threadmarks: 1983-84 Season: Magic vs Bird

    I’ve discovered two new interests in the last six months or so: Alternate History and NBA. So I thought why not combine the two with the help of NBA 2k24. This thread will be looking at how the Knicks not trading away their 1984 draft pick could have affected their approach to the 83-84 season...
  2. What if Jerry Sloan coached the Bulls instead of Phil Jackson?

    Exactly what it says on the title. Let's say the Bulls fire Doug Collins one year early in 1988, Sloan rejects the Jazz's offer, and the original Bull goes home. Are MJ and Pippen as successful OTL in the next ten or so years? Bonus: What do you think happens to Phil Jackson? I kinda wanna see...

    An MLB Collaborative TL: Piece of Cake: The Cubs win Game 6 in '03
    Threadmarks: Go Cubs Go!

    It was a controversy. It was pandemonium. A foul ball down the left field by Luis Castillo was hit down the left field line. and almost caught by Moises Alou, was batted by a Cubs fan, a fan whose name was lost to history, and the play was ruled a foul ball. The Cubs seem to be floundering...

    Taken from the Seattle Times on April 2, 1983, three days before the Mariners begin the season against the Yankees Seattle- Just three days.

  7. AHC/WI: US Supreme Court rules sports drafts illegal

    Ever since I have studied of professional sports in the United States, I have been curious about what scenario might lead the Supreme Court to rule the rookie drafts of the NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL as illegal restraints of trade, and what the long-term effect on professional sport in the United...

    Vince Carter makes that shot against the 6ers

    Canadian hip-hop legend Choclair wrote his famous (in Toronto, anyway) line "like Carter did to Philly..." Except of course he was referencing Joe Carter's double home run to win the World Series. So what if another Carter did it to another Philly? Vince Carter, Air Canada, Toronto legend...

    Threadmarks: 1996-1997 NBA Season

    Sn real life, as everybody knows, Shaquille O’Neal left the Orlando Magic, in part because he always wanted to be in Los Angeles, and, in part because of a newspaper poll where a majority of people said he wasn’t “worth” the large contract he was asking for? Now, what if Shaq stayed in Orlando...

  19. Michael Jordan '93 Retirement PODs

    Some questions after viewing The Last Dance... James Jordan isn't murdered. This is the big one. Without his father's tragic passing, MJ would not have retired as quickly as he did. Certainly retirement was on his mind and he was due for a long break after the first three-peat. But he wouldn't...
  20. What if Toni Kukoč joins the '92 Chicago Bulls?

    Either Kukoc decides to leave Croatia to play in the U.S., or the Yugoslavian Civil War doesn't escalate quite as badly, what if he joins the Bulls? Since Jerry Krause was so keen on making him the "future" of the Bulls at the expense of the repeat champion team, leading to animosity towards him...
