What if's are just that... but you have to think of the nature of basketball. Unlike football (and baseball even) it's much easier for a player with insane skill to be a huge difference in a championship team. In short, Jordan would've had to not be Jordan to not win any championships. It wasn't just a "right place/right time" thing. Maybe not win as many or maybe not win as early but there's no way he wouldn't have won a single one unless you're changing his make up as a person, athlete and player.
