Now off to a "Gretzky is the GOAT" thread next to argue that Lemieux was better.

Too bad that's not remotely true.

Jordan at 36: Already quit on the game once and was about to do it again.

But he never quit during the game.

I'm only talking about Jordan here. This is his thread. The facts are he quit on the game twice only to return later. Do you dispute this?

Keep trying what? I'm discussing facts about Jordan.

And blaming the GM for him quitting is complete BS. Should we blame him for the first time he quit too? Maybe one of the only players to quit/retire 3 times on the sport. Shows a lack of passion. This is undebatable.

You must think I'm trying to hate on him and discredit him, which would be false. I'm discussing facts about Jordan. 6 time champ, 6 time Finals MVP, quit on the game twice before finally retiring. All of these are facts.

again it's not as black and white as you frame it. Jordan wouldn't have retired had Krause not blown up the Bulls after the '97 season.

It's maddening because I felt like we could have won seven. I really believe that. We may not have, but man, just to not be able to try, that's something that I just can't accept for whatever reason. I just can't accept it," Jordan said.
