since this is the last day before the official season I thought I would get a off-season level question off of my chest before it starts. of course we know Jordan left to go play baseball after winning 3 straight with the bulls and of course there have been numerous guys, especially in recent years, leaving their team after losing in the playoffs. what im wondering is if any star has ever left after winning a chip. I’ve been racking my brain trying to think of one and no one comes to mind.
To be fair though, the entire Bulls core got shattered after 1998. Jordan retired, Jackson retired
for a year before the Lakers, Rodman was on his way out; the only stater to return in 1999 was Toni Kukoc to a sad starting five of scrubs and nobodies.
