How many titles do you think Jordan wins if he replaced Bird on the Celtics.

[coastalmarker99]

I do think the Celtics with Jordan in place of Bird.

Would win titles in

1981

1982

1984

1985

1986

1987

1988



As a result of this Jordan would have 7 rings instead of the 6 he actually has.


While Magic would drop to only having won one ring during his career and Kareem would only have two.

I honestly can not see Jordan losing with that loaded Boston team to the Lakers as Bird did in 1985 and 1987.



It often gets underlooked how bad Bird played in the 1985 and 1987 finals compared to his usual standards.

Jordan was 6/8 with just 1 all-star, and the 2 losses were the migraine year and the baseball year

So he would win every year with those Celtics - no exceptions... 13/13

Nah he would lose in 1983 to that 76ers team and he most likely would struggle to win titles after 1988.

Jordan would get Reggie Lewis after Bird, and Lewis was > Pippen:


Pippen vs Reggie Lewis as #1 options in the playoffs

He probably would have tried to bullied a prime Parrish and got his legs broken. Not many.

He wouldn't need to bully someone who was already good.

8 rings at least.

Imagine trying to load up on MJ and he has McHale on his squad... No one's beating them.
