  1. NBA: The Difference a Trade Makes
    Threadmarks: 1983-84 Season: Magic vs Bird

    I’ve discovered two new interests in the last six months or so: Alternate History and NBA. So I thought why not combine the two with the help of NBA 2k24. This thread will be looking at how the Knicks not trading away their 1984 draft pick could have affected their approach to the 83-84 season...
  2. What if Jerry Sloan coached the Bulls instead of Phil Jackson?

    Exactly what it says on the title. Let's say the Bulls fire Doug Collins one year early in 1988, Sloan rejects the Jazz's offer, and the original Bull goes home. Are MJ and Pippen as successful OTL in the next ten or so years? Bonus: What do you think happens to Phil Jackson? I kinda wanna see...
  3. Michael Jordan '93 Retirement PODs

    Some questions after viewing The Last Dance... James Jordan isn't murdered. This is the big one. Without his father's tragic passing, MJ would not have retired as quickly as he did. Certainly retirement was on his mind and he was due for a long break after the first three-peat. But he wouldn't...
  4. What if Toni Kukoč joins the '92 Chicago Bulls?

    Either Kukoc decides to leave Croatia to play in the U.S., or the Yugoslavian Civil War doesn't escalate quite as badly, what if he joins the Bulls? Since Jerry Krause was so keen on making him the "future" of the Bulls at the expense of the repeat champion team, leading to animosity towards him...
  5. An Alternate 1984 NBA Draft

    The 1984 NBA Draft is considered by one to be the greatest in league history. With names like Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, John Stockton, and of course Michael Jordan. It’s so great that just a few changes to it would change the NBA forever. So without further adieu let’s get into our new...
  6. WI: Michael Jordan, Basketball's Pete Rose

    When Michael Jordan retired for the first time in 1993, it stunned the basketball world, with Jordan retiring after winning three championships to go play baseball. Of course, years later, there is talk that it may have been a secret suspension from the league resulting from Jordan's gambling...

    WI: Michael Jordan doesn't retire for the first time in 1993?

    In our world, the basketball player known as Michael Jeffrey Jordan retired after securing a "three-peat", winning titles for the Chicago Bulls in 1991 (after a 61 win regular season and a win over the Lakers in the Finals), 1992 (after a 67 win regular season and a win over the Trail Blazers in...

    WI: Scottie Pippen leads Bulls to Title w/o Jordan?

    Scottie Pippen has long been known (mostly deservedly, as great a player as he was) as the Robin to Michael Jordan's Batman. However, when Jordan retired after the Bulls' first threepeat, Pippen took over and had an MVP-caliber season, leading the team to a 50-win season and losing on a...
