Before just now I would have bet my life on the fact that the 2015 Trailblazers traded for Arron Afflalo to replace Wes Matthews after he tore his ACL. I 100% swear I remember this being the case.

I was looking at bball ref today and saw the Afflalo trade actually happened a couple of weeks before the Matthews injury. I still can barely believe it.

What are your NBA false memories?

    Shortly after Chicago snapped Miami’s 27 game win streak, I was watching highlights of that game on ESPN and I could have sworn they showed a clip of LeBron James and Joakim Noah diving on the floor for a loose ball.

    Years later, I found out that Noah didn’t play a single minute in that game because he was injured.

    That Vince Carter had deep playoff runs / finals appearances with either the Nets, Mavs or Orlando… he joined all these teams after they had their best runs IIRC!

    i was 100% sure Shaq and Jermaine O’Neal were brothers when I was growing up. I went basically the entire 2000s decade thinking that, till i was like 16.
