Jordan playing with the Wizards: Good or bad for his legacy?

[ArbitraryWater]

few things:

A)I prefer his final shot being the Championship winner over Russell
B)His career stats would look noticeably better (although who cares, just look at the Bulls years alone, thats what made him the GOAT)
C)Wasn't he scoring at a tremendous rate and had the Team in the Playoffs in 2001/2002 before getting injured)
D) But also, didn't he have like one of the lowest TS% of a 20 ppg scorer in 2003, EVER? Some stat like that

Neither. It was quite forgettable thus not really affecting his legacy in positive or negative way.

It has no bearing on his legacy. He was 39 and 40 years old and had retired for 3 years before coming back. To me, his last shot as a Bull in 1998 was his real, final game. Whatever he did with the Wizards was sort of a freak show thing.

Regarding (B), yeah, if he didn't play for Washington, his career FG% would be at .505, which is incredible considering he was a high usage scorer. Not to mention, his ppg jumps from 30.1 to 31.5. Also add in 6.3 rpg, 5.4 apg, 2.5 spg and .9 bpg. Reason 1123423423 why MJ is simply the GOAT.

Didn't matter; already achieved GOAT status, which has yet to be usurped.
