For me it’s Derrick Rose’s career if he hadn’t been injured. The youngest mvp in history with some of the most electric basketball we’ve ever seen, it feels a little like robbery to have not been able to see that unfold.

What if Jordan never got bored and retired/was shadow suspended (if you believe the conspiracy theories). Would the Bulls have won 8 straight? 6? How would Hakeem's career been perceived if they couldn't beat the Bulls instead of getting Ewing and a not yet ready to win Shaq?

On the opposite side of that, what if Jordan didn't come back?

At the time of Jordan’s first retirement, he was the undisputed GOAT of basketball. His gap between him and #2 on the all time list was substantial.

It’s possible Jordan could be thought of as even higher had he stayed retired.

Karl Malone probably wins 1-2 rings and ends up in top ten all time great discussions.

I’m pretty glad that didn’t happen.
