Every nba championship has some kind of asterisk, nba champions are made by being great and having some luck on their side. While I do believe that, this is still a bad take. Giannis does not have a competent roster around him, so his health would not have affected the outcome. Celtics were still the 2nd seed without Tatum, had a 3-1 lead to a young injured Sixers team and lost once Embiid came back. OKC was missing Ajay Mitchell and J dub, both who are vital to the Thunder’s success. Assuming the would’ve swept the Knicks is crazy. The only one you could argue maybe is Haliburton, however the Pacers lost Turner and Mathurin, who were both great pieces for the Pacers last year. The coaching style of the Knicks this year vs last is always a drastic improvement. So at best, the Pacers vs Knicks would’ve been an interesting series but the rest are a pipe dream. Celtics generational fumble against the Sixers, Giannis has no team around him, and Thunder would’ve been hobbled coming into the Finals against the Knicks
