It’s difficult knowing everything about everything. While the big news gets over-covered, hundreds of small details fall through the cracks as history continues to move on.
Want an example? The consensus greatest NBA player of all time, Michael Jordan, Mr. six-time NBA champion, five-time Most Valuable Player, one-time Defensive Player of the Year, and any other accolade he’s crossed paths with, was almost traded to the Los Angeles Clippers; not one, but twice, per SB Nation’s Justin Russo.
The Clippers’ first attempt to trade for Michael Jordan occurred in the summer of 1984 when the franchise attempted to move up in the draft to select the North Carolina shooting guard.
