If mj didn't play ball and sticked to baseball?

Question

do u think that the nba would still be the same without MJ? and how come he didn't want isiah thomas in the 92 olympics??

Answer 1

The NBA would not be the same. They would not have enjoyed the hey day of the 90's when the sport grew exponentially both in the US and globally. He was the central focus of the NBA from about 1990-91 through his retirement and is still the most talked about player. Not a game gose buy where he goes un-mentioned. The same can't be said for the other stars of the time.

Also if MJ doesn't play hoops. LeBron may be playing Tight End or WR in the NFL (check out his All-Ohio stats from SVSM). Kobe maybe doesn't have the chip that is being better then MJ and maybe never reaches his pinnacle. D-Wade maybe doesn't grow up to hoop it up either like his hometown hero.  His absence changes everything.

(He sucked at baseball. He would have been better at volleyball or some other sport that allowed him to use his leaping and field vision)

  

Answer 2

He just doesnt like the fool

Answer 3

yess it will be the same and mj suck at baseball

Answer 4

it wouldve still been ok, but the game probably wouldnt be the same.  so many of the stars now rely on one on one skills and have mocked their game from mj.  i would think the guard play wouldnt be as good as todays.  i dont think the sport would be as popular as it is now.
