Pamela Owens+FollowDo you agree with Ben on Carmelo? Ben Wallace once said drafting Carmelo Anthony could’ve hurt Detroit’s team chemistry, that Melo would’ve wanted to play right away, unlike Darko who accepted his role. Do you agree that Melo’s presence might’ve messed up their title run? Or do you think Larry Brown would’ve just buried him on the bench early on anyway? This might be one of the biggest “what if” draft moments in NBA history. #CarmeloAnthony #BenWallace #Pistons #NBADebate #NBAHistory #NBAWhatIf #Sports #NBA 92Share
Pamela Owens+FollowWhat If LeBron James Was Drafted by the Detroit Pistons? 👑In an alternate timeline, Carmelo Anthony goes #1 to the Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron goes #2 to the Pistons. The Pistons were already title-ready — they won it all in LeBron’s rookie year and went to back-to-back Finals. Imagine LeBron joining a prime core of Chauncey Billups, Ben Wallace, Rip Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace, and Tayshaun Prince. Would we be talking about a full-on Pistons dynasty? How many rings do you think LeBron would’ve racked up? #NBAWhatIf #LeBronJames #CarmeloAnthony #DetroitPistons #ClevelandCavaliers #NBADebate #NBAHistory #BasketballDebate #NBA #Sports 3411Share
