 Final Goodbye It's all in my head, literally 3 A.M. Monday Restlessly, Jordan woke with the worst headache she had imagined. It felt as though someone had just hit her in the head with something weighing 100 pounds. God, what do I do? She thought. I can't say anything not one word, besides they would pity me. They were her morgue family, a group of people who had no one. They had each other. I especially can't tell Garret, he's been through enough, she thought. Desperate to sleep, Jordan swallowed an aspirin and went back to bed. 9 A.M. Monday "What'd do we got anything, Garret?" Jordan asked impatiently as she fidgeted at her desk. "Surprisingly, nothing. New record 24 hours, no bodies." said Garret. Relentless, her hand started shaking on her desk. Gradually, it was gaining speed and starting to pick up in intensity. "Jordan, what's going on? You're hiding something I can sense it." Garret said. "Huh? Oh, it's really nothing I'm fidgeting just a bad habit, you know?" Jordan said. "Really? Then stop." said Garret. Slowly, Jordan managed to stop the shaking and answered the ringing cell phone. "Cavanaugh." she answered punctually trying to sound professional. "Jordan, I've got 2 db's down here. Apparent suicide both had clinical depression. Husband and wife married 23 years, husband had affair. I'm on 12th and main, see yea when you get here." Woody said as he hung up. Love and Suicide? 9:15 Monday "Wow, that's love killing each other together. Literally, 'til death do us part..." Jordan said sarcastically. "Yeah, talked to the neighbors they'd stay in for days, no outside contact." Woody fired back. "Kelly Johnson, the other women's being interrogated as we speak. CSU is testing her for gunshot residue, fingerprints and searching her place." He finished. "It's a shame, you know being in their 50's and depressed. Wonder what about." Jordan said. All we can do is wait and see she thought. Monday 10 A.M. Back at the morgue, Jordan decided to look through the couple's health records. Worried, Garret decided to check on her to see how she was doing. Jordan showed him the records, turning the monitor to show him. Having more bouts of painful headaches, Jordan rubbed her hand where it hurt hoping for some comfort. "Jordan, you ok?." he asked. "Yeah, just an itch." she replied. Quickly, she turned and hid her hand which shook violently. Relizing, she was going to have a seizure Jordan mentally tried to prepare herself. As her eyes began to roll back in her head, she slowly fell to the floor shaking violently everywhere. "Jordan!" Garret shouted protectively. "Someone help!" Post seizure Patiently, Garret waited for Jordan to wake up from the seizure. She opened her eyes, noticing Garret holding up four fingers. "How many fingers?" he asked, his voice strained. "Coffee." she answered sarcastically. "Cat's outta the bag, again. Oh, Garret I'm sorry I should've told you." she paused sobbing a little as pulled out her CAT scan. Trying not to seem somewhat angry, he hugged her for dear life. "It's back, what do you mean? Not possible, not to you. You don't deserve that!" he said. "Garret, I'm dying they can't do anything. It's around the Cortaid artery. Nothing else to do." Jordan said. "Come on, you're going home." said Garret. "What so I can die alone?" she said. "I'm goin' with you." he said. "Any last wishes?" he asked. "I think I'll write a goodbye letter when we get there. I don't think I've got much time, more violent seizures increasing in frequency. Losing short term memory, let's go." said Jordan. Waiting for the inevitable "Garret, I want you to know...I've always loved you. More than just a friend always." said Jordan. "Me too, always." he replied. Just as he and Jordan met for a long, romantic kiss. "Jordan, no matter what I love you." Garret said. "I love you, too." she answered back. Back at the morgue, Nigel and Bug had cracked the case. It turned out Kelly had wanted the husband all to herself. This had resulted in not only murdering the wife, but also the husband. "Revenge, sometimes deadly." Nigel said. "Hey have you heard from Dr. Macy?" asked Bug. "Nope, left 2 messages on the tele no answer." It had dawned on Jordan, these were her last, delicate moments on earth. It was getting harder to breathe and her heart had slowed. She told Garret again she loved him and she was sorry for not telling him sooner. The surgery was hard, dying's easy but I'm not at all ready to leave yet, she thought. She ordered Garret to open the letter when she was gone. It would remind him she wanted to be buried by her mom. And also what he meant to her. "Garret, I'm scared I don't wanna leave you. I'm sorry we didn't get together sooner." she said. He held her tighter, holding her like a newborn infant. She couldn't breathe any longer, she said what she knew were her last words. "I love you." and she was gone just like that. Last Words Back at the morgue, everyone had been wondering what going on. Garret had gathered everyone in the conference room. After saying what had happened he opened the letter. Everyone quieted down to hear him read it. He had tears as he was unfolding it. Dear all, If you are reading this I am finally gone where ever that is. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, always remember you're wonderful, caring people. Woody, I'm sorry we didn't work out, I hope you'll forgive me. You always tried to get closer, as I pushed you away. I'm sorry I was afraid of love and trust. If I could start life over, I would have laughed more, loved more, trusted more. Bug and Lily I hope you'll stay together, I hope little Madlyn will have a great life. I regret not having children in my life. Nigel, hope you find that special someone. Maybe, someone as weird and strange as you. Garret, I'm sorry I didn't tell you how I felt sooner. I hope things with Abby work out some day. Thank you for staying until the bitter end. I know it is near and hope my sake my mom's up there. If I see Devan or Lu I will tell them good things about you all. Please bury me at St. Ann's preferably by my mother. I love you all, Jordan Everyone was at the cemetery, gathered around Jordan's grave. Garret said "We are here today to remember Jordan Cavanaugh. We will have a moment silence to honor here starting now." Everyone lit candles and held hands until the moment was over. Garret handed out flowers of purple and pink, Jordan's favorite colors. Garret was the last to leave, he whispered "You're my bestest girlfriend." ...

 Scottie Pippen ? The press love to sing long songs about Jordan made Pippen. However, their songs are missing a few verses. For example. Why did Pippen have his finest seasons without Jordan? In 1994, Pippen averaged 22 ppg, 8.7 rpg, and 5.6 apg. In 1995, Pippen became only the second player in history (Dave Cowens was the first) to lead his team in points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals. How could he do this without Jordan to make him better? Furthermore, when deciding to retire, Jordan said over and over that he would not play without Pippen. While recovering from foot surgery in December of 1997, Pippen said that he was not going to play with the Bulls when he was fully recovered. Jordan said that if he had known this, he would not have come back. Why? If Jordan makes everyone so much better, why not fill in Scott Burrell into Pippen?s position (or Toni Kukoc, for that matter), and make another Pippen? Answer: Jordan didn?t make Pippen. Pippen made Pippen. Without Jordan, he is still the dominating defensive player, and he continues to be a complete player. The typical Jordan fan will respond with "how many championships did Pippen win without Jordan?" The answer is zero. Likewise, how many championships did Jordan win without Pippen? Zero. Comparing these two players apart from each is very unfavorable for Jordan. Pippen had a better career record and a better post-season record than Jordan. Pippen's only losing season was his final year in the NBA, when he missed much of the season due to injury and was in a veteran leadership role for the young re-building Bulls. That was the only time in Pippen's career he had a losing record and the only time he missed the playoffs. Jordan played 5 seasons without Pippen. Out of those 5 seasons, he posted 5 losing records, missed the playoffs twice, and was 1-9 in the playoffs. Think about it: Jordan never had a winning record apart from Pippen. Pippen played on many playoff teams in Portland and Houston without Jordan. It makes you wonder who made who a better ball player, or at least who was the most valuable player to the win-loss Sunny.....You know nothing....you are a product of NIKE!....a sheep...answer this...How many championships did MJ win without Pip?....or What was MJ's record(season or playoff) without Pip?.. or How come the Bull's were still a great team when MJ left? Atl..to answer your question!..."by dedicateing myself to become the best!."..I think I saw that on a Nike poster once. Steve O..you bring up NO points!... to easy!..lol Storm.....Good points!..Highlight Reel never had another HOFamer next to him....but he did have John Konkac..lol Sunny...Ignorance is bliss!..you should Know!...ps:Just do it!..pfffffffffff...lol Blogbaby?...how is MJ the greatest player to ever walk on a B - Ball court?.. he never won 11 NBA chip's...what are you baseing your opinion on?...skill?... then Wilt has him beat hands down! Pilfering ....Thanks..you proved me right!.. You said it..MJ could not have won without Pip!...He's a great player on a crappy team!..thanks...... he also had!..Stackhouse..Rip Hamilton!...George Gervin...Charles Oakley...Orlando Woolriddge...Larry Hughes...he did'nt make them better!.. he made them worse!..to easy! Charles Barkley's opinion??????..serious??......yeah!.. whatever he says.....is the exact oppossite of the Truth!.."Let the truth be told" my A.S.S...."The Buffalo Bills will definetly win this year" - Barkley in the 90's , every year the Bill's were in the Superbowl! "Kevin Mchale is the greatest player ever" - Barkley in the 80's "The Mavs will destroy the Warriors"..... ahhhh..sigh!...to easy! When Magic Johnson retired in 1991, the Lakers went from 58-24 to 43-39 (15 games). However, when Michael Jordan retired, the Bulls went from 57-25 to 55-27. Jordan was replaced by CBA journeyman Pete Myers. if you replace Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Bill Russell with a C.B.A. center, do you expect a 2-game drop? No way. If you replace Larry Bird, Oscar Robertson, or Magic Johnson with a C.B.A. player, do you expect a 2-game drop? Think again Thamas...Pippen almost led the Blazers to the Finals!...with a High Rashweed Wallace......what did MJ do without Pippen????....yeah..I thought so!. to easy! ...

 I'm looking for analysis, with the idea being to compare Jordan versus Kobe at the height of their respective athletic prowess. Face it, the career numbers already belong to Jordan. Kobe isn't going to win 10 scoring titles or 6 Finals' MVP awards. My take is this: Jordan was a more explosive athlete and more the tireless competitive on both ends of the floor. Kobe is the FAR superior long-range shooter and, when he wants to be, slicker passer. I think Jordan's position as the greatest backcourt player is secure. Speed: Jordan Quickness: Jordan Defense: Jordan, by a mile ... Passing: Kobe Jumping: Jordan Explosiveness/first step: Jordan Ball handling: Kobe 3-point shooting: Kobe by a mile .. Mid-range shooting: Kobe At the rim: Jordan Post game: Kobe Late game shooting: Kobe, although Jordan became mr. clutch later Energy: Not close. Jordan not only attacked the rim constantly, he was also THE defensive stopper on the other end. This is for Kobe Roc ... Jordan was all-nba defense virtually every year AND won Defensive player of the Year. Kobe hasn't a prayer of even nearing those accomplishments. On speed and explosiveness, you simply have to watch. Kobe has a longer, more stylish body movement in the lane, but Jordan was slightly more compact and had a much faster first step. Plus, he simply jumped higher, no doubt about it. Uh, no, kobe at 19 and jordan at 34 is not the real question, you a-hole. This is the real question. By the way, Jordan won championship AND MVP #6 that year. ...

 Lets look back at Jordan's first 10 years in the NBA and Kobe's first 10 years. Ok! Now just the first 10 years for both players Jordan 1984-1994 VS. Kobe 1996-2006. And might I had Jordan missed 1993-1994 So im doing only the first 9 years of Jordan. -NBA Champion Jordan: 3 Kobe: 3 -NBA MVP Jordan: 3 Kobe: 0 -All NBA First Team Jordan:7 Kobe: 6 -Defensive Player of the Year Jordan: 1 Kobe: 0 -All Defensive First Team Jordan: 6 Kobe:4 -Rookie Of The Year Jordan: 1 Kobe: 0 (Lost to my man A.I) -Allstar MVPs Jordan: 1 Kobe: 2 -Adv. PPG during their first 10 years Jordan: 31.4 Kobe: 22.9 -Adv. APG During their first 10 years Jordan: 5.63 Kobe: 4.5 -Adv. RPG During their first 10 years Jordan: 6.08 Kobe: 4.9 Now you Kobe lovers does this look like a guy that should be compared to Jordan? If yall think Kobe is better than Jordan right now or will ever be, you are insane and/or know nothing about basketball. Jordan All Time Greatest!! ...

It's all about facts! Lay off the crack! MEDITATOR, Larry Bird?...LMAO! Anyways, who did MJ beat in the 1991 NBA FINALS? Yeah, I thought so. Lay off the crack! Steve O, that's what you're going to base it on? Assist titles & noitable help?...LMAO! How scoring titles, steals titles, & the fact that Magic's help was ALOT better then Jordan's...lol. Lay off the crack! Tweety, you're just a MJ hater! I'm not going to even comment on all that CRAP you wrote! The fact still remains, that MJ proved himself to be the GREATEST OF ALL TIME! Anyone who says Magic is better is on CRACK! Why? Because Magic himself said that Jordan was better then him! Lay off the crack! Alpha Biotch, quit SWAGGER JACKING! That's all you do! It's a embarrassment that some users think that you are me. Lay off the crack! ...

 the last two paragraphs below is very interesting if read word for word: Finally he stated, "Now that I'm here, it's time to be a little bit unselfish in terms of spending more time with my family, my wife, my kids, and just get back to a normal life, as close to it as I can." When asked, what will he do now, Jordan replied, "In retirement, you do whatever comes to mind. Relax. Enjoy the time you've been deprived of for many years." I guess what came to Michael's mind was playing baseball. Not spending time with the wife and kids, unless of course they were on the bus with him and the rest of the Birmingham Barons while traveling from small town to smaller town across the Southern US. Which brings up an interesting point. The only reason Jordan was even given an opportunity to play baseball was because Chicago Bulls' owner Jerry Reinsdorf also owned the Chicago White Sox. The Barons were an affiliate of the White Sox, so MJ could easily pass through the filters that would've normally kept him off the team. Reinsdorf stood to lose as much as anyone with MJ's retirement (just compare Bulls tickets sales today compared to when MJ played). Yet he was one of the first people Jordan contacted regarding a potential "retirement." How did Reinsdorf respond? By paying Jordan $4 million and leaving a contractual window open for him to return [9] ? even though after being ask would he ever return, Jordan replied, "No ? if so, I'd still be playing." Let's face the facts: Jordan was a horrible baseball player. In his one full season in Birmingham, he hit .202 ? even with opposing team's catchers telling him which pitch was coming next. White Sox General Manager Ron Schueler was quoted at the time as saying that Jordan's chance of making the majors was "a million-to-one shot." So was he truly living a childhood dream of his to play baseball, or was it something more? I believe there was more to his minor league career than waving at curve balls. I believe the NBA came to Jordan and laid it out for him. They didn't want to see him go down for gambling, but at the same time, they couldn't seem to control him. So they asked him to "retire" and seek some help. Allow the media investigations (if there even were any) to cool down and soon the public will forget all about it. Go play baseball so you can keep in shape and remain at least somewhat in the spotlight. Then, when the time is right, Jordan would be allowed to return to the NBA as the mighty king he once was. He made a very interesting comment during his retirement press conference. When asked, "will you miss the sport?" he replied: "I'm pretty sure I'll miss the sport. To come back is a different thought ? I can't answer that. I'm not making this a 'never' issue. I'm saying right now I don't have the mental drive to come out and push myself to play with a certain focus. Five years down the line, if the urge comes back, if the Bulls will have me, if David Stern lets me back in the league, I may come back. [emphasis added]" No reporter there bothered to ask him, why wouldn't the Commissioner let you back in, Michael? It's a very interesting choice of words. One that lends itself to a very different interpretation of the situation. Even during his second (and more formal) retirement, Jordan had to again tip his cap to Stern. In thanking a few people that came before him, Jordan said, "And Mr. Stern and what he's done for the league and gave me the opportunity to play the game of basketball." How, exactly, did Stern give him an opportunity to play basketball? By drafting him? By offering him a contract? By putting him in the starting line-up? No. By, as MJ said at his first retirement press conference, letting him back in the league.

 First of all, I am going to clear this up: young Michael Jordan (1985-1993) was one of the greatest defensive guards in history. He in on the short list of greatest defensive guards, along with Walt Frazier, Sidney Moncrief, K.C. Jones, and Joe Dumars. Jordan's only weakness was being posted up. Magic Johnson exploited this in games 1 and 2 of the 1991 Finals. After putting 3 fouls on Jordan in the first half of game 2, Phil Jackson opted to move Pippen over to guard Magic and put Jordan on James Worthy. Fortunately for Jordan and Jackson, Worthy was playing on a sprained ankle, which eliminated his dominance (he had 3 inches on Jordan, and he was the guy who dropped 42 points on Dennis Rodman in Game 7 of the 1988 finals). Young Jordan was an exceptional ball defender and he was the very best player of his era at roaming the passing lanes. There, it's out. He was a very good defender. I don't have any problems with his 1988 defensive player of the year award and his 6 first-team all defense awards up that point. However, after that, he was a very overrated defender. He got old and lost a step and it showed. It happens to everybody, but Jordan's fans couldn't accept it. Let me give examples. In 1995 and 96, Clyde Drexler and Anfernee Hardaway continued giving Jordan problems when they posted up on him. That is undertandable as they were bigger than Jordan. However, Jordan's lost a step on his quickness and in 1996, Pooh Richardson lit up Jordan...Pooh Richardson. Damon Stoudamire had his way with Jordan that year (Stoudamire's rookie season). While Stoudamire was very quick, Phil Jackson's answer to him spoke volumes about Jordan: Phil put Scottie Pippen on Stoudamire. Jordan was so slow that a 6'7" 225 lb FORWARD was Jackson's answer to a guard. Phil began opting to put Ron Harper on the other team's better offensive guard. Jordan fanatics claim this was "resting" Jordan for offense. No, this is called "rationalizing." Young Jordan guarded the other team's best guard AND lit up his opponents for 32+ PPG. Old Jordan simply could not guard the best guards any more (remember when he got caught in the switch with Allen Iverson the next year and how bad Iverson made him look?) . What was truly sad was that Jordan continued making first team all-defense, but Ron Harper did not. Jordan wasn't even the best defensive guard on his own team any more. He didn't deserve those accolades. Sour Grapes? Dream on. Undeserving Accolades aren't uncommon to Jordan. Remember the 2002 All-Star game? The fans vote and they DON'T want to see old Jordan. They don't name him a starter. If Jordan deserved it, the coaches, who pick the reserves, would name him a reserve. Instead, they too, pass on Jordan. Then, the media starts crying for Vince Carter to give up his starting job to Jordan and apply pressure until Carter gives in. The fans didn't want to see Jordan and the coaches knew he wasn't good enough, but he still makes it, because the media wants to see him. And then there's the 1988 dunk contest. It's just sad how we have to manufacture our heroes these days. Wake up people!..y'all have been Hurded ....be a wolf not a sheep! Jd shut up!..If I wanted any sh!t outta you I would squeeze your head!..you don't know sh!t about B - Ball.....this is for educated fan's..lol..(yeah right!) Yeah Malone was double teamed and MJ stole the Ball!..then he PUSHED OFF on Russell..but..the ref's did'nt call it..if it was anyone else..they would have... Smush stole the ball from Nash and gave it to Kobe!..that was sweet! KOBE = the greatest..lol....to easy! ...

 Bill Russell. He has 11 championships to Jordan's 6. He has nearly TWICE the number of championships. Therefore, Bill Russell simply has to be better than Jordan. Let me repeat that - as impressive as Jordan's six titles are, it simply pales in comparison to Russell. To win 6 championships, it took Michael Jordan 14 years and Bill Russell only 7 years. Jordan played 15 seasons to Russell's 13, yet Russell has FIVE more championships than Jordan. Jordan and Magic Johnson COMBINED have as many rings as Bill Russell. Jordan and Magic defined "winning" for an entire generation! Yet, it takes both of them together to match the dominance of Bill Russell! A Jordan fan cannot say that Jordan was a better individual player than Russell. After all, Russell AVERAGED over 22 rebounds per game. He is acknowledged by most to be the greatest defensive player in the history of the game, and to go along with that, he finished in the top 10 in the league in assists FOUR times (Jordan only did this once). He added 15 ppg to go along with this superior passing, rebounding, and defense. Jason M..were you alive to watch BILL???.....or even MJ??......who cares?.. people who were'nt even alive to watch Bill..Oscar....even Magic and Larry say "MJ is the greatest"....... Bill Russell..a man who wins 14 major Basketball Championship's in 15 Years..has to be the Greatest Ever!...... Sly..I did mention it!....Bill Dominated Mj in every catagory EXCEPT!...scoring!... and if scoring is all that matter's..then Wilt is hand's down the greatest ever!.. Scoring does'ny win championship's..DEFENSE does..Bill proved that! Jawad..."players were weak"..?????..Huh?...Bill Russell played against the greatest NBA Athlete ever!..Wilt Chamberlain!!...he could Bench over 350lbs...and was a Track Star!.......and if you have'nt noticed..the USA has been getting our but kicked every year in the olympic's by "weak". "jumpshooting "..players!....."Weak"..is the watered down 90's...with a bunch of "Weak"..Highschooler's......No Wonder MJ could never win in the 80's.. B stellar.....Bill also played in the league when there were 14 teams..guess what...HE won Championship's.... PS: When there is less teams...that means there is MORE talent per team! plus you are playing teams more often and facing players who know your game!....It's actually tougher!..... the 90's were watered down with all the expansion teams and highschoolers! Helter Skelter....here's the problem with.."Jordan carried his team, with NO center and sorry Teamates".... Jordan Joins the Bulls in 84'...Losing season!..I think they had like 34 wins!.. Next year..Losing season.....His third year..another Losing season!!!....they finally add Pippen and Horace grant and they Improve!..over the Next three years they add more players and finally win a championship!........ when MJ retires in 94'..the BULLS hardly even miss a beat!..they only drop 2 GAMES!!!!..and almost win another championship!.........and here's the real Kicker....they replace MJ's allworld offense and defense with a CBA journeymen!......His team was great without MJ!....when MJ joins teams they don't become winners..they remain Losers...In Chicago..and Washington!.. Missed the playoff's..TWICE!! You said Rodman was Errattic?????.. He was one of the best defenders in the league...He was a defensive player of the year(Without Jordan)..He won championship's(without Jordan)..and he has said that "the 90's Bulls teams he was on would never beat the Piston's teams he was on" Eddie Gorey - ...Those "People" who are whispering in your ear!..know nothing about Basketball!..Bill was a 6'9" freak of Nature!...his leaping ability and timing were off the chart's......and our Basketball players today are Losing every year in the Olympics to teams that learned How to play Basketball from old school players like Bill Russell...they Know how to play the game!..........wake up! Answer 17 ....like always...good answer! Dude!.......you know Basketball!.....great input! Balla Boy...you know nothing..your a product of the media!.....Russell won with and WITHOUT great players!... MJ never had a winning season without Scottie Pippen....... and before Scottie arrived MJ played with...... George Gervin(HOFamer) Charles Oakley Orlando Woolridge(top 20 scorer in the league) Sidney Green Rod Higgins John Paxson Now scram! Shawn g.....Typical answer from a typical MJ lover!.... MJ is not the greatest.....he was just hyped up the most!......Boring! ...

 Any one ever ask why is it Jordan never won a championship without Pippen? Teams had a fool-proof when dealing with the Bulls pre-Pippen. They let Jordan run and shut down everyone else. Even if Jordan scored 60, the Bulls might still lose. Jordan needed a supporting cast. That was Pippen. Pippen simply made his teammates better. Pippen was the ultimate team player, he could defend, he could score and he sure as hell can pass. Everything Jordan could do, he could match. The only thing Jordan held above him was his explosive scoring. No matter how good Jordan can be, no one can match 5 people. One on one, Jordan is better than Pippen, but on the court Pippen made his teammates take part. Pippen was also the hard-nosed defender that Jordan wasn't always (it's a scandal that he has no award and Jordan does). In fact the strong perimeter and man to man defense that the current Bulls have is carbon copied from him. So I say Pippen. You guys? ...
