After spending a Wednesday afternoon watching the most recent episode of ‘Marvel’s What If...?’, my mind began to wander. The show’s premise is that of small decisions or events causing massive changes, creating alternate universes in which history plays out completely differently. Naturally, my thoughts went to the Utah Jazz. What seemingly small decisions created massive chain events in Utah Jazz history? What could have happened if just one small thing had been changed?
What if Utah never traded Dominique Wilkins?
This might be the first scenario most Jazz fans will think of. The Utah Jazz drafted Dominique Wilkins 3rd overall in the 1982 NBA Draft.
