Although Michael Jordan could have played more games throughout his NBA Career but his retirement in 1993 – 1994 and 1999 – 2001 NBA Season has prevented him from achieving more in his NBA career? He could won more title? More MVP’s and perhaps a much  higher position or even hold the top spot of All-time scoring list?

Meanwhile, LeBron James, who entered the league at age 18 has already tied Michael Jordan in career games with 1,072 games at age 32 in 15th NBA Season.
