📅 Episode: What If – 2017: The Rockets’ Missed Dynasty?

The Houston Rockets lifted the trophy in 2017, finally breaking through after being so close the year before.

But what if that 2017 championship squad had stayed together?

In this episode, we break down:

🔥 How razor-thin the Rockets’ margin was in 2016

🏆 Their dominant 2017 run

🌀 Why GM Ryan chose to retool the roster instead of doubling down on a proven core

Houston won another title in 2020 — but with a very different team.

Could they have built a dynasty if the 2017 squad had stuck together? Or was the shake-up inevitable?

Join us as we revisit the highs, the near-misses, and the questions that still linger about one of the most talented, short-lived squads in IJBL history.
