If I remember correctly, Phil Jackson wanted to retire after the fifth championship and was talked into coming back to get the second threepeat. After accomplinshing the second threepeat no one could talk Phil out of retirement. MJ retired because he would not play for another coach. That is why I have always felt that MJ was the one who broke up the Bulls, not Jerry Krause. Maybe Bulls fans would not have had to deal with the Floyd years if MJ had stayed.

Couldn’t agree more Boppinbob. I did not get a chance to see the HOF speech, (unfortunately, I was able to hear C. Vivian Stringers speech, …ugh. Sit down, no one cares.) but I did read about MJ’s comments this morning. If what I read was true, I am dissappointed.

Look, MJ was the best b-ball player ever (Nod to Lebron who has a chance to catch him). But it was class-less to call out all those people at this point. MJ had seven years to win one by himself. It didn’t happen.

On the other hand, all of those players got big contracts elsewhere after Mike retired …and they never played one minute of ball at the same level. So MJ’s point was clearly made to all of us that are paying attention. There was no need to get up on stage and act petty.

I guess every hero has his weakness: Sampsons was his hair, Micheal has an inferiority complex, and Brett Farve grew horns. Some days it makes me feel better about being average.

We will never know wether MJ would have won a championship without Pippin will we? He never even came close. It does take a team to win a championship. Without Cartwright, Grant, Paxson, Rodman et al and the offensive system and the defensive pressure the Bulls do not win the Championships they did. How many times were the Bulls trailing in a game and in the forth quarter they would turn up the defensive pressure and turn the game around. One man doesn’t do that, a team does. MJ was the centerpiece of a great team, but the entire team won the championships.
