Did the NBA really have any other hope of having a different champion? Plus knowing Jordan, he would have played in a full body cast and still scored 25 points.
I've never wished injury on anyone. It seems like the if you have to wish injury on a player for another team, then you are admitting that you do not believe that your team isn't good enough to beat that team unless that guy is out. Therefore you are admitting you think your team completely sucks and doesn't deserve to exist.
I did...and they didn't! It's no coincedence the Knicks finally beat the Bulls in the playoffs the season after his first retirement. In fact, when he came back, the Knicks lost to his Bulls AGAIN in the playoffs. Hell yes I wished injury on that man!
