June 20, ****** . It's a date that 76ers fans won't soon forget.Late in the fourth Joe Burrow T Shirts quarter of Game 7 of the ****** Eastern Conference semifinals, Sixers star Ben Simmons had the ball in the post against Hawks forwardDanilo Gallinari. Simmons backed Gallinari down toward the block, spun away from him toward the baseline and found himself standing right in front of the rim. With only Trae Young ****** , ****** pounds) in Simmons' ****** , ****** pounds) general vicinity, it appeared that Simmons hadan easy two points and perhaps an and-one opportunity if Young swiped at the ball.And then...Yikes. Simmons threw a surprisingpa s toMati se Thybulle, who got fouled and ended up making one of two free throws. Instead of tying the game with le s than four minutes to go in regulation, Philadelphia trotted back on defense down by one. Atlanta never lost the lead after that po se sion, ultimately winning by a final score of ****** and advancing to the Eastern Conference finals."I mean, I'll be honest," Embiid said after the lo s. "I thought the turning point was when we I don't know how to say it but I thought the turning point was just we had an open shot, and we made one free throw. And we mi sed the other, and then Larry Ogunjobi Jersey they came down and scored."Simmons' pa s served as not only aturning point in Game 7, but also a turning point in his relationship with the 76ers organization. , who declared that he didn't know whether Simmons could be a point guard on a championship team,couldn't be dismi sed as outside noise from fans and analysts. This was theteam's best player and head coach speaking on the record.The constant trade rumors and speculation followed Simmons all summer long. And yet, as of late December, he remains a member of the Sixers sort of. He isn'tplaying now despite being on the roster, which has just made the situation even me sier.But what if Simmons had simply dunked the ball and avoided that infamous moment? What would that alternate timeline look like? Let's open three magical doors and find out.NBALeaguePa s: Sign up to unlock live out-of-market games ****** day free trial)Door No. 1: Ben Simmons dunks, but the 76ers still loseApologies to the Philly faithful, but your squad still goes down in this scenario.On the po se sion before the crucial Simmons play, Hawks guard Kevin Huerter hit a jump shot to give Atlanta an ****** lead. The Hawks held a 59.7 percent win probability at that point, , and it only rose down the stretch as they outscored the 76ers ****** in the final three-plus minutes. Game 7 wasn't just about a dunk that didn't happen.There Trey Hopkins Jersey is one major difference here, though. By eliminating the pa s to Thybulle, the 76ers also eliminate the comments from Embiid and Rivers. Theyoffer more generic statements about the tough lo s, and they evencompliment Simmons for his aggre sion on that play.Simmons wouldn't have suddenly been ecstatic about returning. Let's not go that far. But would he have been on better terms with the organization? Would the channels of communication have been more open?Hey, the actual offseason couldn't have gone much worse, so, uh, maybe! (Also, Adele . Bummer, dude.) Door No. 2: Ben Simmons dunks, and the 76ers advanceIn this timeline, Simmons explodes for a dunk and galvanizes his team into Joe Mixon T Shirts action. The Sixers proceed to rattle off their own ****** run after tying the game, and they move on to the Eastern Conference finals to face the Bucks.Unfortunately for Philadelphia, the journey stops there. Giannis Antetokounmpo is too much for Embiid, and Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday slightly outplay Simmons. While the ending is disappointing, it's far more acceptable to lose to the eventual champs than fall apart against the Hawks.Everyone in the 76ers organization still feels good about the season overall, and Rivers and his players enter the ****** campaign motivated to prove they can knock the Bucks off the throne. (Adele and Paul are dating, and it's going well!)Door No. 3: Ben Simmons dunks, and the 76ers win it allKeep in mind this is a thought exercise, and this is thebest-case scenario for Simmons and the 76ers. It may sound completely unrealistic, but just allow yourimagination to take over.Simmons hammers the ball down on Young, finishing through a weak foul attempt. He thendrains the free throw, electrifying the Wells Fargo Center crowd. This is a new turning point. It is Simmons' version of against the Celtics in ****** . He is finally ready to throw the narrative about his late-game struggles in the dumpster and light it on fire.A new and improved Simmons and MVP-caliber Embiid Tee Higgins T Shirts dispatchthe Bucks in five games, and they enter the ****** NBA Finals against the Sunsas the favorites to win the title. Embiid dominates Deandre Ayton in the paint, and Simmons suffocates Chris Paul and Devin Booker on the perimeter. Tobias Harris and Seth Curry drain a few timely shots, and the 76ers are your NBA champions. (Caught up in the excitement, Adele and Paul get married in Las Vegas!)OK, that probably had no chance of ever happening, but it's nice to dream, right? If nothing else, it's a break from the reality in which the Sixers are currently living.
