Mark is right....
Rodman would never team up with the Bulls, he would reject the trade or sit out....oh wait, that was different
Clyde would never go to Houston to get a cheap ring, he would reject the trade with Thorpe or sit out....oh wait, that was different
Barkley would never demand a trade to a competitor to try to get a ring.....oh wait, that was different
Jordan would never retire when the front office wouldnt pay the superteam to stay together, he would stay and do it on his own....oh wait, that was different
Shaq in the mid 90s would never run to a 53 win team....oh wait, that was different
This is how a Hall-of-Fame career looks when you dont hold your own nuts and let teams do whatever they want with you. Either decide your future or get whored around by the league. No way a player of Mark Jackson's caliber should have been playing in all of those cities

dennis rodman was traded for a stiff and a bag of chips because at 33 he was more trouble than he was worth and no one thought he could still contribute to a championship team.
Drexler asked to be traded after playing 12 seasons in portland making 2 NBA finals, and his career was winding down and he was past his prime.
Barkley was old (See drexler) they were all past their primes. had they came together in 1990 (barkley, dream, clyde) then your post would have some merit.
the 98 bulls were done (after the season), that was likely going to be their last ring, hell every one called it the last dance. Jordan was 35, pippen 32 (Wth a debilitated back) rodman 36, harper 35 etc...) It was the end
Again none of the above compares to a 26 year old 2nd best player in the league in durant intentionally throwing a playoff series, texting with players on his "rival" team then joining said team 2 months later. not sure why nikkas can't comprehend simple shyt.
