Jordan could have had more Rings

     I started to talk about how Jordan and the Bulls could have added two rings if not for the Bad Boy Pistons in a previous post. However, I started to think about maybe if Jordan didn't take the detour to play Baseball maybe the Bulls would have won 10 titles. The downside in my opinion of Jordan's Baseball Journey. I'll admit, a part of would have like to see Michael Jordan play in the Major League and joined Bo Jackson, Brian Jordan, Deion Sanders among others playing in multiple pro sports leagues and who knows Tim Tebow might join. However, it seemed right with the world that MJ came back to the NBA. However, what would have happened if Michael Jordan decided to stay in the NBA? There's a possibility that the Bulls would have won 10 straight titles (or at least 9 out of 10 titles). Would have been something if the Bulls faced off against the Houston Rockets in the NBA Finals in 1994? They already have beaten the Portland Trail Blazers in the 1992 finals, Jordan getting back at the Trail Blazers for not drafting him. I'm sure he would have wanted to take a shot or several at the team who had the number one in the 1984 Draft in the Rockets. If you're wondering Hakeem Olajuwon who himself had a Hall of Fame career averaging nearly 22 points per game and 11 rebounds per game was the first pick and Sam Bowie who is considered a bust but I think that's unfair because he had injuries plus he did have a couple good years in the New Jersey Nets was number two to the Trail Blazers. It would have been something if Jordan played against Olajuwon for the Championship? Also, if you're wondering Bowie was on the Nets when the Trail Blazers made it to the finals twice in three seasons. I think it would have been in the 1994 finals. The Bulls had a good team even without Jordan winning 55 games (compared to 57 games when they had Jordan on the team) with Scottie Pippen leading the way and BJ Armstrong and Horace Grant making All-Star appearances that season. Losing to the New York Knicks, who ended up losing to the Rockets in seven games in the Finals. I believe with Jordan, the Bulls would have won about 60 or more wins that season, beat the Knicks in the Playoff series (again), and I do believe that Jordan would have gotten his revenge against the Rockets not drafting him and beat the Rockets in the 1994 Finals in say six games. Also, the Rockets had another chance to get Jordan but that's another story I'll get to. Would there have been to replay of the matchup in the 1994-95 season? Honestly, I don't think so. After the 1993-94 season, Horace Grant left as a free agent and join the Orlando Magic. Surprised he did especially since on the Bulls, he was the second-best they had after Scottie (remember no Jordan) only to be the third wheel again, this time to Shaq and Penny unless the Magic offered more money. Well, a toss-up between him and BJ Armstrong moving on. If Jordan still on the Bulls at that time could he have convinced Grant to stay? Maybe but I think Grant would have taken the money plus he's got his rings not really anything the Bulls could have done expect get him more money. Plus I'm wish Grant wanted to join a team where teammates didn't take away his food. Also, would start a new legacy somewhere else other than Chicago. Grant leaving hurt the Bulls until Jordan came back sparking their playoff run. I believe it was would have been a big loss even if Jordan was still there and remember Dennis Rodman didn't enter the Picture until the 1995-96 season. I think even if they had Jordan for the whole season I think the Bulls would still have not made it to the finals and the Magic would have. I think there was a possibility Jordan and the Bulls would have won 10 straight titles but I think it would have there more like 8 because of Scottie's migraine in 1990 Eastern Conference Finals in Game 7 (no Migraine=Bulls victory=another title) and the team would have been together in the 1993-94 season. Maybe nine, again the Bulls did take the Pistons to six games which was more than the Lakers did in 1989. However, Would the fans kept on cheering if that happened? People are annoyed of the Warriors winning titles and They're only won three titles in five seasons and wouldn't win one this year regardless what the NBA does to finish the season if they finish the season. Most fans expect for the those who cheer for those teams that kept winning and winning, tend to get tried of one team that kept winning title after title. Would have been to the Bulls even with the great Michael Jordan? Probably, I know my dad was one of those people. Also, he was a Knicks fan at the time so there was that. To the Rockets and the Pistons enjoy those titles.
