What if???????
There were a lot of athletes that had some big what ifs?? that go along with there career.. Please add some others as i am likely to forget some.. Some are injuries, others trajic, and other's voluntary..
What if... Ted Williams didn't have to go to war. Bo Jackson didn't get a hip pointer. Tony Conigliaro didn't get beaned. Monica Seles didn't get stabbed. Lemieux's back and health held up. Bobby Orr's knees held up. Barry Sanders had a good Offensive line. Len Bias didn't snort a line the size of a snow bank. Gayle Sayer's had a full career. Jordan didn't retire 15 times. Ben Hogan didn't get in a car crash. Mike Tyson kept his head in the game. Borg didn't retire so early. Ali wasn't forced out of boxing for refusing the draft. For me, the biggest one has to be Monica Seles.. When she came onto the tennis scene, she was pretty much unstoppable, and it seemed she was going to end Graf's reign of dominance. Than, she got stabbed in the back by a crazy graf fan, and steffi went on to capture the most major win's by a women's tennis player..(I believe.)

[/ QUOTE ] Wasn't Reggie Lewis later outed by a friend as an occasional user, but that played no part in his death? Yours is the first time I've ever heard someone say otherwise...

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I took a little creative license...but please, mine's the first??? Doubtful if you lived anywhere near New England around that time.... IMO Len Bias' death hurt the Celtics more than Reggie's, but the two taken together destroyed the franchise.

Giambi slides vs the Yankees.
John Elway plays with Indianapolis Jordan is drafted by Portland The draft where the Knicks get Ewing wasnt fixed Eck strikes out Gibson in 88 Leinart doesnt get "pushed in" vs Notre Dame Clipping isnt called on the Rocket Ismail return in the Bowl game. Gretzky isnt traded. Sabres dont lose there entire defensive unit in the SC playoffs Norwood makes the kick Leonard Smith doesnt get hurt before the Super Bowl Thurman Thomas doesnt fumble to start the 2nd half in the Bills/Dallas SB Magic goes to Boston and Bird goes to the Celtics Craig/Rathman (cant remember) doesnt fumble in the 1990 NFC chmpnshp to give the NYG the ball back. Gary Anderson makes the FG vs the Falcons in 1998 Kevin Dyson isnt tackled at the one vs St Louis Pat Lafontaine doesnt get 8 million concussions Lindros lived up to the hype Earnhardt doesnt hit the wall

Gary Anderson makes the FG vs the Falcons in 1998 [/ QUOTE ] Don't remind me. Others If Baseball doesn't strike in 1994 Peter Pocklington doesn't go BUSTO. Vince tries in Toronto. The NBA never allows underclassmen to enter the draft.

Giambi slides vs the Yankees. [/ QUOTE ] They call him out anyway. New York bias. [ QUOTE ] John Elway plays with Indianapolis [/ QUOTE ] That would be an upset, since there was no NFL team in Indy when Elway came out. [ QUOTE ] Jordan is drafted by Portland [/ QUOTE ] Stern would've found a way to get him to a major market by 1992. [ QUOTE ] The draft where the Knicks get Ewing wasnt fixed [/ QUOTE ] Wah. Also, maybe the Knicks would've won something in the last 30 years if it wasn't. [ QUOTE ] Eck strikes out Gibson in 88 [/ QUOTE ] Dodgers win in six instead of five. [ QUOTE ] Leinart doesnt get "pushed in" vs Notre Dame [/ QUOTE ] Penn State wins the title and Michael Robinson gets to play QB in the NFL. [ QUOTE ] Clipping isnt called on the Rocket Ismail return in the Bowl game. [/ QUOTE ] Who cares [ QUOTE ] Gretzky isnt traded. [/ QUOTE ] Gretzky who? Is he a soccer player? [ QUOTE ] Sabres dont lose there entire defensive unit in the SC playoffs [/ QUOTE ] South Carolina playoffs? What? [ QUOTE ] Norwood makes the kick [/ QUOTE ] Jim Kelly is glorified as a guy who knows how to win the big game. Also, we wouldn't have been subjected to years of a terrible Phil Simms announcing NFL games. [ QUOTE ] Leonard Smith doesnt get hurt before the Super Bowl [/ QUOTE ] Redskins win 37-24 instead of 37-24. [ QUOTE ] Thurman Thomas doesnt fumble to start the 2nd half in the Bills/Dallas SB [/ QUOTE ] Bills lose 30-13 instead of 30-13 [ QUOTE ] Magic goes to Boston and Bird goes to the Celtics [/ QUOTE ] How would that have happened? Boston had Bird's rights a year before Magic came out. [ QUOTE ] Craig/Rathman (cant remember) doesnt fumble in the 1990 NFC chmpnshp to give the NYG the ball back. [/ QUOTE ] Niners win 3rd SB in a row. Duh. [ QUOTE ] Gary Anderson makes the FG vs the Falcons in 1998 [/ QUOTE ] Vikings lose the SB instead of the Falcons, but Eugene Robinson stays out of trouble. [ QUOTE ] Kevin Dyson isnt tackled at the one vs St Louis [/ QUOTE ] McNair gets to Canton in 2013. [ QUOTE ] Pat Lafontaine doesnt get 8 million concussions [/ QUOTE ] He doesn't walk around calling his kid "Mmmph" instead of Joe, and he doesn't have to puree his food before eating it. [ QUOTE ] Lindros lived up to the hype [/ QUOTE ] What is a Lindros? [ QUOTE ] Earnhardt doesnt hit the wall [/ QUOTE ] He hits the next wall instead. What do you expect at 200 mph?
