If the '97-98 Jordan was wit current the lakers minus kobe, their record would be....

[C-Styles]

Jordan would have made Howard better, no way in hell he has an elite center and not use it to his advantage, Jordan made Bill Cartwright and Luc Longley somewhat respectable caliber players so just imagine with Dwight...

 

[Raw Lyrics]

I think the lakers would be at least a 6th seed right now :usureepps:

For the record, Scottie Pippen only played 44 games for the 97-98 Chicago Bulls and MJ still managed to lead them to a 62 win season that year. Jordan also averaged close to 9 rebounds for the first 2 months of the season, despite finishing the year with 5.8 rebs (Pippen came back, so I'm assuming MJ stopped crashing boards as aggressively).

Jordan also played all 82 games that championship year. His previous 5 championship seasons? 82, 82, 78, 80, 82.

They'd be better because D.Coward would be traded, he couldn't handle MJ

With no Phil, and in that Locker room with bytch made players like Dwight, a scapegoat artist and sabotager in D'antoni, and Jordan's explosive personality, it would be a disaster.



They would be just as bad IMO

 

[606onit]

Much better. That's all I know.

 

[904]

Dwight would be less happy.. Alot less..

 

[Heretic]

They wld be 81-0... Both teams would forfeit that last game in honor of kobe.
