Wizards Jordan really should’ve been Lakers Jordan instead

Think about it, a player of Jordan’s stature shoudnt have ended his days with the likes of the Wizards. He should’ve been on the Kobe/Shaq Lakers. Phil was there, Horace was there, hell we could’ve got Rodman there but by then he was prolly too far gone.

But real shyt, watching this doc really got me thinking what could’ve been. Kobe could’ve learned from the master front and center and become even better than he became, Shaq and Jordan are frat brothers so Shaq would’ve respected and listened to Jordan instead of having to get into it with Kobe about working hard, Phil would’ve had a perfect person to coach through to get the best out of the team, and Dr. Buss would’ve had a poker buddy to hit the tables with.

I’m convinced Jordan’s presence during the 3peat would’ve also prevented Kobe and Shaq from breaking up. MJ could’ve left the game with 8 titles having lifted a once poor franchise and turning it into an iconic one and then rode off into the sunset winning 3 with the GOAT franchise in all professional sports, YOUR Boss Angeles Lakers.

So what y’all think?

Fish
Kobe
Jordan
Horry
Shaq

Mike in 99-00 would still be a top 5-10 player. I don’t think Kobe woulda signed off at all. Who knows though

Would've been interesting I'll give you that

They could barely co-exist with Shaq and Kobe's egos on the team. Add MJ to the mix?

They'd be feuding way too much.

crazy how the GOAT got played by Abe. He did the Wizards a major favor by putting the uniform on for a team that didn’t (and wasn’t going to) do shyt.

You’d think his path to ownership would’ve been far more manicured. And shame on the league for kinda not taking his intention seriously until he jumped on the Bob Johnson group. Jordan should’ve been first in line when it came time to expand the league again.

league paid him back though

The result was a landmark deal that has matured into one of the great team purchases in recent history. Jordan got the Bobcats for a reported value of $275 million, but most of it was the assumption of debt. The NBA approved the purchase with Jordan putting up just $30 million in cash, according to the Charlotte Observer, an arrangement the league would almost certainly not approve today.
