The show, co-hosted by J.E. Skeets and Tas Melas, along with Trey Kerby and Leigh Ellis, first aired on the network in October 2013.

The most recent What If vignette takes a look at Scottie Pippen and the Seattle Supersonics and what could have been if the future Chicago Bulls legend wasnt traded for Olden Polynice during the 1987 NBA Draft. Pippen, who would go on to help lead the Bulls to six championships, including meeting the Supersonics in the 1996 NBA Finals, could have ultimately been paired with 1989 and 1990 selections Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp to form a talented big three in Seattle.
