WHAT IF MICHAEL JORDAN HAVEN'T RETIRED 3 TIMES BUT JUST ONE. HOW MUCH MORE RING AND POINTS AND MVP'S WOULD HE HAVE ?

[shadowgrin]

WHAT IF I POST IN ALL CAPS WITH BIGGER FONT SIZE, MAYBE PEOPLE WILL NOTICE MY POST AND VALUE MY NBA CURIOSITY?

[Mandich]

Wow, you really like to comment other people and their posts don't you ?

[shadowgrin]

The idiotic ones, yes.

[Mandich]

Damn then you had a lot of work replying on your own post, poor you . .

[Fresh8]

What if the Knicks were actually good?

[Houndy]

Then James Dolan wouldn't be Owner

[Fresh8]

What if the Lakers won it all in 2004?

[Houndy]

Then I would cry.

What if Kobe had been traded a few years ago when he asked for one?

(I'd be happy)

What if Kobe had been traded a few years ago when he asked for one to the Suns?

What if an NBA player was an NLSC poster? (Not likely to happen, just sayin'.)

That's me.

I knew Sit was Andrew Ogilvy

How many think if LeBron stayed on the Cavaliers they would be the best team in the east this season?

[Lamrock]

Record-wise probably (provided they get to keep Z and/or Shaq), but I'd still take the Celtics, Magic and maybe even Wade-Bosh Heat (they would have had a far easier time gelling sans LeBron and expectations I reckon)

[atlwarrior]

Yeah id take the Celtics too. But I still think with Cleveland having Byron Scott that wouldve made a huge difference.

WHAT IF MICHAEL JORDAN HAVEN'T RETIRED 3 TIMES BUT JUST ONE. HOW MUCH MORE RING AND POINTS AND MVP'S WOULD HE HAVE ?

Two more rings, at least one more MVP award, two more scoring titles and somewhere in the realm of 34,000 career points. And that's assuming he calls it a day in 1998. If he plays through to 2000, make it four rings (that's right, ten in a row), two or three MVPs, four more scoring titles and second all-time in scoring with just under 38,000 points. And for a bonus What If, if he hadn't broken his foot in his second season on top of playing through to 2000 without retiring, all-time scoring leader with a little over 40,000 points.

Anyone who says otherwise is a hater. What? That's not a valid argument?

Then he would live at Turkey. Ogilvy plays with Iverson.

Thanks mandich. You asked the question that I wanted to ask shadowgrin.
shadowgrin loves to humiliate people. I'm #1 victim of shadowgrin.

In that case, another valid question:

What if MJ came back and played for the Bobcats? Would we make the playoffs?

Wouldve loved to see the 3 peat Bulls and the 1999 Spurs go toe to toe. If the Bulls still had Phil up to 2000 Kobe would still be on his 3rd ring assuming Phil wouldve taken a year off after 2000 and Shaq would be on his 2nd.

[Murat]

Did you see Phil Jackson sitting on his room when playoff matches were playing? No.

[shadowgrin]

What? That makes no sense at all.
