In our world, the basketball player known as Michael Jeffrey Jordan retired after securing a "three-peat", winning titles for the Chicago Bulls in 1991 (after a 61 win regular season and a win over the Lakers in the Finals), 1992 (after a 67 win regular season and a win over the Trail Blazers in the Finals), and 1993 (after a 57 win regular season and a win over the Suns in the Finals). One of the reasons cited for Jordan's first retirement was the murder of his father on July 23, 1993.

So, let's say MJ's father doesn't get killed. Is Jordan's retirement thus delayed? Would he have pursued a four-peat (no team had won four championships in a row since the Celtics in the 60s)? Would we have gotten the Jordan vs Olajuwon Finals matchup we never got OTL?
