Patrick and the Knicks had basically 2 chances w/o him when he retired(when he came back late in '95 he wasn't fully back yet) and they didn't win. The Knicks likely wouldn't have won a Championship w/ or w/o Jordan. The best chance they had was '93 and i think Phoenix would have beaten the Knicks in the Finals had they met.

Jets have had how many truly champsonship caliber teams this decade? I guess you can count our team in '04 and we definitely looked super bowl worthy for 12 weeks in 2008. Other than that I never have thought during this decade we had a team that could really win it all.
Knicks were an elite NBA team and title contender from when Pat Riley arrived in '91 all the way to 2000 and during that time Jordan won 6 championships. That is quintessiontial dream destruction.

It's basically the same thing. What year would the Knicks have won if Michael wasn't around?
1992? No, Cle and Port were better
1993? MAYBE but I think Phoenix was better
1996? Not a chance
1997? Nope
1998? No way
Knick fans like to use the Jordan excuse but in reality he MAY have prevented them from possibly winning one title.

The Knicks stunk most of the 80s, Bird and Boston didn't prevent them from winning a title.
