Poll
Question:
The Bulls with Jordan would have won in 94, lost in 95.
Option 1: The Bulls with Jordan would have lost in 94, won in 95.
votes: 0
Option 2: The Bulls with Jordan would have won in both 94 & 95
votes: 3
Option 3: The Bulls with Jordan would have lost in both 94 & 95
votes: 2
Option 4: This is the dumbest fucking poll I've pulled out of my Aspie ass since the last one
votes: 2
Suppose Jordan hadn't been exiled to baseball for gambling, would the Bulls have beaten the Rockets in 1994 and 1995?
EDIT: What happened to my poll? The 2nd option was "The Bulls with Jordan would have won in 94, lost in 95.
I'm going off very vague childhoold memories and the Last Dance documentary, but I think Jordan was pretty jaded after the first threepeat and baseball kinda allowed him to recharge. Plus no Rodman. So I think they lose both years.
Pity we never goot a Hakeem vs Jordan finals though.
The Rockettes?
They win both if Jordan is there.
Depends which team he bet on.
:P
I'd guess a split.

Yeah, it's not like jordan has a well documented gambling problem. It's not like he has memorable incidents of losing 5 million playing craps on one Vegas trip, or being investigated for writing a 50k cheque to a drug dealer for gambling debts... oh wait.

Read the article. All of that is acknowledged.
What is lacking though is any evidence the NBA forced him to take a break. On the contrary, in 1993 Jordan was a white-hot star in the NBA - the league would wan to do everything in its power to keep him. Or that when Jordan became part-owner of Charlotte he was immediately welcomed with open arms.

The man's father is murdered a couple months before the '93 season, and you pull out the gambling bullshit.
I hope you get gored in the fucking forehead with a Pamplona Bull, you fucking mutt.
What is Mike Ditka's role in these hypothetical games? Would he play or coach for either of the teams?

This
If Jordan had played it would likely have been a disaster for him and the team. He was destroyed by his father's death and the bullshit which ensued (and still is reflected in the OP). He needed the break and because of the break was able to win another three championships.
