It's not that he wouldn't have left.  It's that he wouldn't have been afraid to leave for fear of playing second fiddle (which was what you said as reasoning for Melo to not team up with anyone.  Look at your "Batman/Robin post).  He would've wanted to stay with the Bulls because he wanted to beat those guys instead of teaming up with them.

Jordan did check his ego, despite being the best player ever, because he knew he needed to in order to win.  Nobody knows what he would've done if he had been in his 30's without a championship on a team doing their best to win the most ping pong balls in the lottery because his teams were never that bad.  Maybe he would've pulled a Clyde Drexler and teamed up with Hakeem, but nobody knows because he never had to.  He was the ultimate Batman and he had his Robin and a coach that taught him the why and how to put his ego aside for the betterment of the team.  Who knows, maybe it helped him to have played second fiddle to Worthy on a championship team in college.
