Message: [QUOTE="OldBosd, post: 3557135, member: 9976"] Excellent post. I've been reading about WWI and WWII lately. Every major change in either offensive or defensive capability was countered pretty quickly. For example, British chemists figured out within 48 of the first Chlorine gas attack that if a soldier pissed on his socks and used them as a gas, it would protect them. So, for all the changes around the league, there would have been a counter move by the Bulls. For example, if there were fewer teams, the Bulls might have been able to surround Jordan with better talent than Kerr, Burrell, Moneyball? Jordan would have gained a great deal from that. He would have become a fantastic 3 point shooter with tremendous range. He had the coordination and the work ethic. Zone Defense? Jordan would have become a better passer. Now, you can say that I am overestimating Jordan's ability to change his game. Maybe. But give me Jordan and Phil Jackon and yes, Jerry Krause & I think they would have come up with a response to every valid point you made. But we'll never know. [/QUOTE]
