How many rings does MJ get if he plays with 10 All-Stars/HoFers?

[egokiller]

Stay mad

All-Stars/HoFers Jordan played with for his rings:
Pippen
Grant
Rodman

All-Stars/HoFers Russell played with for his rings:
Bob Cousy
Sam Jones
Tom Heinsohn
John Havlicek
Bill Sharman
Frank Ramsey
KC Jones
Bailey Howell
Tom Sanders
Clyde Lovellette

[MrFonzworth]

MJ playing with Clyde Lovellette would be UNFAIR for the rest of the league

how many fathers would MJ get killed if he had two dads?

I mean dude he won 6 for 6 with one All Star. One who technically wasn’t an all star in 1991, because of how stacked the East was talent wise, or 1998 where he missed half the season selfishly.

If Jordan didn’t retire in his prime, and Krause / Pippen didn’t selfishly break up the Bulls prematurely. 1994 and 1999 are LOCKS for rings. Even with a rapidly declining Pippen, who they originally were going to trade for McGrady around that time.

1995 is in play if Jordan isn’t in baseball shape and rusty as well. Especially given rapport with the talent upgrades following his retirement in 1993.

So that’s 8-9 rings right there with just Scottie Pippen is not just plausible but probable. And he’s only a top 30-35 guy.

Kareem, Magic, Kobe, Shaq, LeBron all played with fellow top ten guys or top 20-25 guys to win their rings.

MJ, Hakeem, Duncan, and Bird are the only ones who didn’t need that massive amount of superstar top teners to top twenty fivers to win multiple chips.

1999 a lock? GTFOH They could've easily lost to the Pacers the year before, what makes you think it's a lock they beat them the following year? Not to mention the absurdity of calling them a "lock" to beat the Spurs, who were sweeping Shaq/Kobe & Portland in the playoffs

And 1995 is a hard sell for being a title year when the team the Bulls lost to got swept in the Finals

Lastly, you can't just pretend playing in '94 & '95 wouldn't have affected Jordan later on down the road. He would've obviously had a lot more mileage on him, there's no guarantee he's as effective in his mid 30's in '97 & '98 without taking two years off

Imagine if MJ teamed up with two other top 5 PER players like Bran did...

If MJ woukd have joined the 2nd and 4th per in the league like lebron he would have joined Orlando with Shaq and Hakeem Olajuwon

[paksat]

i'm gonna go with 3 and 9 for my answers

3 + 9 that is

so 12 rings

[FKAri]

However many rings David Stern wants him to have.
