> when he took a year off to play baseball the Bulls were within an inch of the Finals

In 1994 the Bulls were eliminated by New York in the second round.

This comment is laughable. They swept Cleveland in the first round and took NY to 7 Games and the Knicks then took the Rockets to 7 Games in the Finals.

What's laughable is claiming that getting eliminated in the second round is getting an inch from the final. I mean, 8 teams get to an inch of winning the championship every single year!

and the 95 playoffs, he was back for and they got eliminated in the second round. 4-2 by orlando. they took NY to game 7.

> and the 95 playoffs, he was back

Jordan returned in March/April after abandoning baseball in protest. The playoffs started in April 28th.
