jbooma Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 It's the same. Basketball has only 5 players, Jordan had much more of an impact than a manager would. IMO, it would be worse if Jordan had done it.Rose can only do so much, Jordan could theoretically tank a game if he wanted by passing to the opposition or purposely missing a shot. I don't believe he would have done that, but I'm just pointing out that a player, particularly in basketball, has a much greater impact than a manager. i disagree he couldn't stop the other players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 i disagree he couldn't stop the other players But neither could the manager. (Pete Rose). Jordan WAS the Bulls, he had the ball most of the time. That's why I was saying in his case, it would be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidenreich Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I think your scenario is correct and has already happened. I was waiting to see if anyone mentioned that. If you're into conspiracy theories, the whole "Retirement to play baseball" story was a cover up to an 18 month suspension for gambling. I have heard that a couple of times, but nobody can really verify it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyhorse1 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 No. Jordan should be banned from the sport for trading Rick Hamilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
