If the bulls had lost to Utah in the 1997 finals would Mj have retired that year.

Let's say the Jazz don't choke in game 5 and in game 6 Pippen's goaltend is called and the Jazz win in 6 would Jerry Krause break up the team one year earlier. If so does Jordan retire then in the 1997 offseason and if he does he would have retired with 4 rings and 4 MVPs instead of 6 rings and 5 MVPs would Mj still be considered the goat in this timeline if he loses in the 1997 finals and the bulls break up ahead of schedule.
