MJ quitting in 1993 is the best thing he could've done for his legacy

[Hey Yo]

When he came back, he was rejuvenated and motivated after load managing.

[8Ball]

I disagree.

His career compared to Bron's is quite short and lacking longevity wise.

He should have played more to match Bron's durability career wise but didn't.

He left the door open for Bron to come in and snatch 1st place.

kareems longevity and totals didn't make him goat over mj and he has the same amount if rings with 1 more league mvp and a better highschool and college career

so lebron doesn't have a farts chance in the wind of passing either man

[Spurs m8]

Bron is a superior reg and playoff performer than Kareem.

And let's not forget Bron is superior to Kobe in all possible facets in basketball.

MJ was a shortgevity master. He retired three times. Most quits all time.

[999Guy]

He was getting smoked out by Hakeem in 94.

Would’ve happened in 93 itself if not for the Sonics.

Let me be clear, Hakeem Olajuwon was the best player in the world during 1993.

He hit a two way peak way higher than that older worn down Jordan, who was really treading water at the rim and defensively compared to his early and mid 20’s.

[kawhileonard2]

Only guy who never lost with HCA and won all finals mvp's and only won gold medals.

[John8204]

No his "quitting" hurts his legacy because we don't know if it was a gambling suspension, a drug suspension, or he wanted to take a break. Leaving rings on the table is never a good thing and four/five/six/seven/eight-peating would have been special

[nayte]

Nah .doesn't matter the reason. If they lost it would have hurt more then doing 2 three peats. Not like any team has done it since

[JBSptfn]

Quitting. If you want to call it that. I call it something else (being sent away by the commissioner and Jerry Reinsdorf for gambling).

[FKAri]

I heard he was involved in a huge basketball gambling racket. Involving David Stern, Michael Jordan, Larry Miller, and of course the king pin himself, Phil Knight. Larry Miller fukced something up and Mj was forced to take a public fall for it. But Michael Jordan's entrepreneurial mind was not going to take this lying down. He decided to team up with Tim Grover to start a steroid racket in baseball. But of course his inexperience came into play and if he hadn't left after 2 years he would've easily been implicated in the mess he created there.

MJ was #2 for DPOY in 1993 and averaged 41 in the Finals

Hakeem never reached this caliber of 2-way play

The 94' Bulls had upgraded every roster spot and added Kukoc with Horace/Pippen peaking - it would've been the easiest title of the Bulls' titles...

Now 95' is a different story because Horry played better in the 95' Finals than Pippen's 6 Finals (gamescore), while Drexler also demolished Pippen.. Rockets end the Bulls' 5-peat attempt in 95'

[bullettooth]

Image how well the LeBron dick suckers would perceive MJ if he went onto lose a whole bunch of times in the finals.

[John_Connor]

if MJ doesn't get forced out by David Stern in 94 for gambling he likely wins 4 straight but they lose in 95 without grant or Rodman to help on hakeem. plus getting Drexler was a huge upgrade. 94 was such a fluke win for the rockets.


and 7-1 isn't as nice as 6-0 so him retiring did help his career and legacy.. but maybe the magic still beat the bulls in 95. who knows. maybe he's 7-0


pippen had his best year in 94 and that woulda been Jordan's last peak season

[dazzer87]

Bran stan thinking
About a player whos been retired for over 20 years ago….������

[2much_knowledge]

For once we can agree on something. It was the best decision cause a 3 peat, come back and another 3 peat will be cool till the end of time and will never ever happen again

[Baller789]

Don't forget leave as the best player in the league, and return and regain that title.

It was actually 100% the polar opposite and couldn't have been worse for his legacy:

-The main reason is because it exposed how horrendous his level of competition in the 90s was, where the Charles Barkleys, Patrick Ewings, Reggie Millers, Karl Malones, John Stocktons, Shaqs, Pennys, Kemps, Paytons and the rest of the competition he faced during the Bulls 6 championship all either failed to beat a team whose #2 leading scorer in the playoffs averaged 13.8 points on .376 shooting or failed to beat a team that eventually lost to a team whose #2 leading scorer in the playoffs averaged 13.8 points on .376 shooting

-Secondly, it exposed how stacked his supporting cast was, where the Bulls only lost 2 games less than they did with jordon the previous season. They went on to lose in the playoffs due to one of the most crappy, controversial calls of all time that was called against the Bulls, only because they didn't have the Stern/ref darling jordon on their roster

-Thirdly, it exposed that (in addition to The Great Scott Pippen), jordon also needed an all-defensive PF in Rodman/Grant in order to win. Because when he did come back to a team without Grant/Rodman, he lost in the 2nd round as the favorite to a team that went on to get swept in the finals. This was the only playoffs in the 90s he played without Grant/Rodman

How does it feel like getting banned on your troll account huh, bub? :lol

[dreamwarrior]

MJ improved his game by cross training in baseball. If Lebron learned how to swing a bat he could come back next year and actually be good again
