For the 2007 Finals, the asterisk should have been game 4 of the Western Conference Semis, vs. the Suns which Robert Horry had a dirty hit on Nash where Stoudemire and Diaw were suspended from game 5 for leaving the bench to defend their teammate from the dirty hit, causing them to lose game 5, and all momentum, pushing the Spurs to win in 6.

Just came here to say that. That hip check and the players leaving the bench still upsets me to this day. The other thing is that the Cavs had no business getting past Pistons that season. Guess he forgot mention the aliens coming down and zapping the talent from their starting five in the 4th and OT. Sweeping the under talented Cavs would have been easy work for whoever came out of the west.

The 1995 asterisk is kind of stupid, before he retired Jordan was averaging 35 PPG in the regular season and it dipped to 27 PPG when he came back. But by playoff time he was back up to scoring 32 PPG compared to 35 PPG before he retired ad the efficiency was practically the same so the only real difference was that he was attempting 2 less shots per game. In all, Jordan was not at 100% in the playoffs, but he was about 95%.

And then after losing game 1 to the "Best backcourt tandem that year" a lot of guys were also calling it quits. When the clippers choked, Nuggets would blow past the "Fakers" according to the same guys. And then when they faced Miami, suddenly the narrative changed to the "easiest championship in history". I guess the biggest asterisk you can put to this ring was the layoff were too long and benefitted older and injury prone players to recover before the playoffs.

I just watched the thing to check. Draymond was getting his around LeBron, and then LeBron shoved it off. Draymond hit LeBron in the nuts. That makes sense being called a Flagrant. Secondly, Draymond only got suspended because of the build up of fouls, all of which were valid Flagrant calls (throwing around a Rockets player, and then kicking Aquaman in the nuts). Even if it was just called a Flagrant in the Finals, it wouldn’t have been a suspension if the other prior Flagrants didn’t occur. Thirdly, Draymond still played in Game 6 and Game 7, where he even basically dropped a 32 point and 15 rebound Triple Double, so let’s not pretend as if the single game suspension really was so drastic

The biggest asterisk year was 1999 for sure. The Utah Jazz had the #1 record throughout the shortened season until the very end as the increased schedule wore on them and the Spurs tied the Jazz for the best record in the league at the very end. If the season was scheduled normally the Jazz most likely would have finished the best record without being tied, had better seeding and position going into the Playoffs and not as worn out. That would have made a big difference.

For the 2017 season, Kawhi got injured during the Warriors and spurs match-up in game 1 which allowed GSW to come back from a 20+ deficient and ended up sweeping the spurs.

There's 5 men each on the court. The better 5 men were just by far the Warriors, 3/4 times. Oh but no, of course it's all just about injuries. Or "Lebron needs more superstars."

the 2017 asterisk is zaza stepping under kawhi's foot

The only real * i can agree is 1999, 2012 and 2020. Everything else are massive reach

Could you please make a video on your perspective on BKN

the lakers 2020 chip was not easy. everyone was in their absolute peak because there were no fans in the stadium. it was hard as hell. physical and mental peaks are really important and the fans can really affect the mental aspect of a players game.

I don’t think it was as an asterisk, cause it wasn’t like it was a controversy lol it just happened Draymond couldn’t stop kicking players in the nuts and he racked up too many techs, which caused him a suspension by the rule book

Kendrick may be a clown as an analyst, but the Lakers literally needed the refs in game 7 2010, so yes the Celtics having Perk would have upped their chances

2007 when the spurs beat the suns. When Robert horry gave a hard foul on Steve nash. Boris Diaw and amare stoudemire leaving the bench and getting suspended during the process

2017 you forgot about Zaza pachulia intentionally injuring kawhi Leonard in game 1 of WCF. The spurs were up by 21 when it happened.

i love how the asterisk against 2020 was that it was too easy for them💀💀

How is the Nuggets astericks not the fact that they played two 8 seeds, a 7 seed, and a 4 seed on their finals run? That seems like a better argument than Tatum's ankle tweak.

Memphis got the ultimate asterisk in 2013 by knocking out the Thunder in the playoffs only to get swept by the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.

Listen man I’m trying to take this video serious my I keep dying when I hear the Kawhi laugh

the celtics didnt know how to dribble left😂😂

ah yes, los angeles lakers, my favorite eastern conference team.

2016 draymond also got suspended, Adrew bogut and curry injured, cause my fav curry and klay nurvous and to panic

Along with Bogot and Curry’s injuries, the league gifted Cleveland with a Draymond Green suspension for game 6.

5:00 Would Pippen's rim touch count as goaltending since there was no shot taken?

Player can't Dribble gets 300M🤣

This crazy Barry Mccockiner made a video with the same title 1 year ago. Same shit. Not even credits.

2022 Khris Middleton injury which made the Bucks loose to the Celtics. If they won, Bucks probably would ve faced GS in the Finals, and possibly won due to Giannis.

why is a team choking or underperforming considered an asterick? lol, they literally just got outplayed

For 2004 you forgot to mention that Kobe shot his team out of the finals. The 2005 asterisk is a weak excuse; the Spurs played great. In 2007 the Spurs played great defense and LeBron had no help. Calling LeBron “talentless” in that series is crazy. In the 2010 ECF LeBron averaged 38 8 and 8 but still lost. I wouldn’t exactly call that “failure to deliver.”

This is an attempt to put an asterisk on everything. By your logic of taking it serious than every single person on this list should not have a ring.

Asterisks are for "bubble championships", most of what you explained in this video are just apart of the game. The NBA, NHL, and MLB are all leagues of longevity.

John Starks Game 7 in '94 should've been the asterisk

I'm just glad you're saying asterisk and not "asterix"

Jordan was gonna drop 60 in game 7 if paxton missed. That man was not going to lose under any circumstances that series.

Asterisks are about hindsight. All championships are won on merits and circumstance. The gods of health, injuries, seeding, bad games... all ay a part. But, it's who's standing with four wins in the NBA Finals is the Champion.

Everyone talks about ray Allen and kyrie “saving lebrons legacy” because they forgot how many times Paxton and Kerr “saved” Jordan. Or how many time Derrick fisher “saved” Kobe. Stop with the bullshit. They are called teammates and basketball is a team sport. No one player can do shit by themselves. That’s why Jordan was getting bounced out the first round every year before he got pippen and that’s why Lebron had to leave Cleveland the first time after 7 years of failing to put a competent team around him

Joel Embiid winning MVP but never reaching the Eastern Conference finals is an asterisk

2016 you miss the fact that game 5 Draymond was suspended

Don't forget the Nuggets played 3 play-in teams
