"Poll question: If Jordan hadn't retired...the Bulls win 8 straight?"
Sun Jun-09-13 03:57 PM by -DJ R-Tistic-

  

          

Somewhat of a spin off of all these posts about the 95 Rockets/Hakeem and the 96 Jazz.

People always say that if Jordan hadn't retired, the Bulls would have got 8 in a row, 91-98.

I don't know...it's really a hard call. I feel that the way things happened, it might have worked best. Three peats are already extremely hard, but I think the years when they lost may have given them a chance to refocus and not just cruise on auto pilot like some dynasties have done in NBA and other sports. But...shit...I still can't really call it.

Poll result (47 votes)
Yes (22 votes)Vote
No...still would have had 6-7 rings though (22 votes)Vote
No, they wouldn't have won six either (2 votes)Vote
Yes, and if they stayed together, could have won in 99, even 2000 (1 votes)Vote
