rico Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Bird really intrigues me. He would have been on the '75 team when Scott May went down. In '77 a frontline of Benson, Woodson, and Bird would have been something else. That '78 team might have challenged Duke in the East Regional with Bird on it. Then there is the NBA aspect as well as the '79 championship game. History would completely been different. What if? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Here's another what if. What if, Bird had stayed at IU ? And the disconnect between he and some of the players continued to the point that the '75 team would not be considered by Knight as his best team ever. Or, it became so disruptive, that the '76 team would not have won a NC ? I enjoyed reading the article. Thanks Snowden for the link. However, we could what if history for years, and it still won't change what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Great read, and interesting and timely in light of the ncaa thread about paying players, KU paying Wilt and IU losing out because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
