    What If Durant, Harden & Westbrook Stuck Together in OKC? | 10
    May 7 2024

    “The Big Three” are sacred words in basketball. Lebron, Wade and Bosh in Miami; Steph, Klay and Draymond in Golden State; Bird, McHale and Parish in Boston; and Magic, Kareem and Worthy in L.A. One trio that never realized their full potential: Durant, Harden and Westbrook in OKC - a young, hungry squad on the cusp of greatness before going their separate ways. But, what if The Thunder kept the band together? How many rings could they have won? Does KD vs LeBron become the NBA’s signature rivalry and how does this all affect the adult entertainment industry?! Find out on Alternate Routes.

    What If The Celtics Won The Tim Duncan Draft Lottery? | 9
    Apr 30 2024

    The ping pong balls of destiny can be cruel arbiters of fate. The Gods shined on the city of San Antonio, and fundamentally shifted the NBA landscape when The Spurs landed the first pick of the ‘97 draft, Tim Duncan. The rest (five championships and an all-time dynasty) is history. But, The Celtics had two lottery picks and everyone, including Duncan himself, thought he’d be rocking green. What if The Big Fundamental ended up in Boston? How many more banners are hanging in TD Garden? Does Gregg Popovich ever reach the promised land? And, does Tim Duncan replace Kevin Garnett in Uncut Gems? Find out, on Alternate Routes.

    What If The Niners Drafted Aaron Rodgers? | 8
    Apr 23 2024

    Before promoting the benefits of ayahuasca and considering Vice Presidential bids, Aaron Rodgers was one of the most hyped quarterbacks entering the 2005 NFL Draft. Rodgers was widely expected to go to his childhood team, The 49ers, but ended up waiting out an awkward draft night until the Packers finally picked him up. Rodgers became a Green Bay legend, but what would’ve happened if he ended up in San Francisco? How many more Lombardis would the Niners have won? Would we have never heard the name Colin Kaepernick? And, instead of a Kennedy, might we be looking at a Biden-Rodgers Presidential ticket? Find out on Alternate Routes.
