The butterfly effect is how one choice, one incident, or one moment can effect the future. If one thing happened slightly differently in the past, we’d be living in a much different world than we are today.
Basketball is the best sport to cover the butterfly effect in, as one thing as simple as a player not getting injured, or a difference in draft order can have a major impact on the franchises.
Would the Chicago Bulls have won a ring if Derrick Rose never tore his ACL? What if Carmelo Anthony was drafted by the Pistons?
