If Jordan Never Retired (the First time)

[RoundMoundOfReb]

And the Bulls make the finals in 1994 and 1995 - But lose to Hakeem's Rockets both times.

How would that affect the way you view Hakeem?

What about MJ?

[Nilocon165]

Lebron would still be better than Kobe

MJ and the Bulls would of had 8 rings not 6.

Pathetic thread /

[r0drig0lac]

Hakeem would have been ringless .. that's all

[feyki]

He wouldn't be the only one to retired three times .

[thefatmiral]

It's pretty much agreed on Hakeem would have no rings in this scenario. At best he could steal one.

Bulls easily win in 1994.

That would've been a better version of the 96 team. Peak Pippen, and last season of Jordan's physical prime. With career years from Armstrong and Horace. Plus the additions of Kukoc and Kerr?

If Knicks went 7 games and were a horrid shooting game from Starks away from a ring. Bulls run that and win.

With Jordan not out of shape and rusty for the entirety of the 1995 season, they could give Houston a series even without Grant. Certainly don't get swept like the Magic did. Possibly could win. Either way they retool in the off season at the PF position.

Oh, and if Krause ego, as well as Pippen's greed never got in the way ... Bulls win 1999 lock out season too. 8th seed Knicks, sans Ewing got to the Finals? The Bulls would win.

There was about 2 to 3 rings left on the table either due to Mike's pursuit of baseball or the dynasty being broke up a year early. You're looking at what probably would've been TWO 4x Peats.

Eastern Conference sucked during the 1993-1994 season

1995:
With Jordan still on the Bulls, would have landed another rebounder to replace Horace. I doubt they would have left that gaping hole if Mike didn't retire. They certainly wouldn't have lost to a 6-seeded Rockets team (if they got past Orlando).

Jordans dad would still be alive.
