Jorn was resistant to Phil and the triangle at first. Feel even had to convince MJ that he would still be able to lead the league in scoring to get him to buy into his system.

Jorn was still winning scoring titles every year while they were winning chips. There was no need for him to bounce somewhere else to put up numbers.

Bron would've bought into it easier than MJ did. And the NBA in the 90's didn't operate like it does today, he wouldn't have been able to pull his LeGM act the way he does now.

this much is true.

held him back from what?

you can just say you don't like Bron. It's ok.
