re: Would Shaq have taken the Magic to the Finals if Jordan hadn't retired?

Yes, but they would have had to fight like hell for it

I cant remember how many seasons was MJ out for? 1 and a half or 2 and a half? shite they may have won 7 or 8. It really is hard to imagine them not winning that many in a row. It was clear that Jackson was top notch considering what he did there and in LA. Jordan was still on top of his game when he retired from the bulls the second time, Pippen was still great, and all the role players were still good. Krause just fricked the whole thing up IMO.
