Imagine that in another timeline:
Jordan lost all his finals……
In the 1991 Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers beat Chicago Bulls 4-1 and won the sixth championship in 12 years.
The magician won his sixth championship and the fourth finals MVP, and from then on, he ended that “all the magicians won the championship beside the Sky”, “The 1980 Finals MVP should actually be the sky hook”, the debate of “It was Pat Riley who created the magician.
He left Byrd and dominated the 1980’s. Los Angeles media believes that “1980’s belongs to magicians!”
In the summer of that year, the magician was forced to retire at the peak because of HIV detection, but he also ranked among the sky with Russell with six championships in 12 years and seven MVPs in three regular four, the top three players in history at that time.
Detroit Media sneered: “Michael may have won the piston, but he can’t cross another MJ at last; He is still not a big winner like assassin, magician and Bird.”
In the 1992 finals, Portland Trail Blazers beat Chicago Bulls 4-2 and won the second championship young pioneer team history.
In glider, he won the MVP of the finals, defeated Jordan, and reported the revenge of losing the MVP to Jordan in the regular season.
Portland media believed that: in 1990, the Blazers were promoted to the finals and won the championship in 1992, proving that glider might not be as outstanding as Jordan, but a winner who could unite his teammates more. Jordan is undoubtedly the best scoring guard in history, but glider is second only to him and even comparable to Jordan in some places. Glider said in an interview, “I don’t care about this matter, but when the US team was selected, some people thought that Michael would not have to choose me…… Then, I just want to prove that I am not Michael’s substitute.” Fourteen years later, when Wade won the championship with Miami, Portland media and Miami media made a long-lasting argument: “Who is the better player between glider in 1992 and Wade in 2006?”
In the 1993 finals, Phoenix Suns beat Chicago Bulls 4-2 and won the first championship in young pioneer team history.
Charles Barkley won the finals, plus the previous MVP in the regular season, and he won the Barcelona Olympic championship as the chief scorer of the dream team a year ago (with an average of 18 points), which was unanimously recognized by the media, 1993 was the year of Barkley, “Barkley began to rule this era” and “Jordan may be more gorgeous, but Barkley is the most aggressive player of this era.” Phoenix Media also asked everyone to pay attention to the fact that Barkley surpassed Bob Petty and became the greatest power forward in history.
In the autumn of 1993, Michael Jordan, who lost three finals in a row, retired to play baseball.
Returned in the spring of 1995.
The media in New York ridiculed: “Maybe Michael found that what he couldn’t get in NBA was not available in baseball world either; But looking at Barkley and big dreams who entered the business in 1984, they both won the championship, maybe Michael can’t sit still.”
In the 1996 finals, Seattle Supersonic beat Chicago Bulls 4-2.
Since the Bulls set a 72-win record in the regular season, Seattle media believed that this was the most outstanding game in history. Chicago media bowed their heads and admitted that Jordan played a historic Waterloo. “We thought Michael would be old and spicy. It turns out that the growth of age did not make him get murderous.”
Sean Kemp won the MVP of the 1996 finals and was hyped by everyone for a while, “whether Rain Man has surpassed Barkley to become the best power forward in the world.”
Gary Peyton grinned: “It is not as difficult as you think to block Jordan in the finals-after all, he has never won anything before.”
In the 1997 finals, Utah beat Chicago Bulls 4-2.
Karl Malone won the MVP of the finals and the previous MVP of the regular season, the media generally believed that “Carl has replaced Barkley and big dream and become the master of this era.”
After the game, Rodman thought that Jordan’s lethality only stayed in the regular season, “similar to David in San Antonio, they did a lot in the regular season, but when they needed them most…… You know.”
Stockton was praised as a model of the team: in the regular season this year, he lost to Mark Jackson, who had previously won the nine games, but gave up the right to play activated hornasek, and the New York media ridiculed:
“Jordan is still the winner of the regular season, but perhaps Stockton knows better than him that a player should give priority to how to win the Championship rather than the data…… Now Barkley, dream and Stockton, who entered the business in 1984, have all won the championship, but Michael is still empty-handed…… Now he may have understood why, but is it still too late?”
In the 1998 finals, Utah beat Chicago Bulls 4-2.
Karl Malone won the Finals MVP, which became the first MVP in the history beyond the big dream. After the game, the media believed that the postman had become the greatest power forward in history, and even the greatest forward in history after Byrd. At the same time, looking at Jordan, who was on the verge of retirement after Lien Chan’s losing streak, the media began to show sympathy.
The magician has six championships in his 12-year career, three regular season MVPs and four finals MVPs, the greatest defender in history.
Stockton held the title of king assistant and King snatching in history, the nine-time King assistant, plus two championship titles, and pressed Isiah Thomas.
Carl Malone sat 36,000 points and two Finals MVP, which made Petty, hayeas and McHale overshadowed and pressed Barkley. Before Duncan appeared, they were the greatest number 4 in history.
Glider will have two champions and one Finals MVP, Blazers young pioneer team history greatest player.
Jordan’s five regular season MVP won ten scores but got nothing in the finals.
The Chicago Tribune believes that:
“Yes, Michael lost again. He has lost six finals, which inevitably reminds us of his favorite former Lakers great forward Elgin Baylor. They are all excellent players with magnificent data and beautiful technical performance, but maybe they have never been born winners…… Now we only hope that Michael can win a championship like Jerry West before retirement, otherwise we will face the most embarrassing in history, A great career that is hard to evaluate: Michael seems to win everything and most of it, but in the end he is always a little worse; His data is gorgeous, but he is short of breath at the last moment; Of course, perhaps it was because he happened to be the greatest defender magician in history, the greatest power forward postman and Barkley in history, great defenders comparable to him glider the greatest non-center players in history lived in an era when he happened to meet those champion teams…… Of course, in the opposite way, maybe we are all too narrow; It is true that competitive sports are so cruel that they become kings and losers, but from the perspective of basketball, maybe Champions and dynasties, it is not the most important qualification for a great player. We can also appreciate Michael Jordan from another angle: his data, his skills, his flying, the exciting and beautiful moments he brought us…… It was Jordan who was so great that the stars who beat him were outstanding enough. This is not even pity for the loser, but respect for a great but unfortunate basketball player……”
If a Devil introduces this timeline to Jordan……
Jordan will tear him up, tear him up, eat it alive.
Then he called to scold all his teammates and opened a car charger to the training hall.
