How would the Bulls Dynasty fare against the teams of today?

Check Toni Kukoc's three point shooting in the 1996 playoffs.

He shot the ball great in the regular season and then crapped the bed in the playoffs as that stretch four. Fortunately for that Bulls team, it wasn't something that would stop them from winning a le.

For as great a defender as Pippen was, imagine his 215 pound frame checking LeBron who is the same height, has as much or more athleticism, quickness, and agility, and has about 40 pounds of pure muscle on him. In today's NBA, Pippen would still be a great player but there are a lot of wing players who have similar size and athleticism to do a similar job as to what he did defensively (not both defensively and offensively, but at least defensively).

Awesome poll, I voted for everything.

I hate these comparisons, because the league is always changing..building a team in the 90s required a different strategy than building a team in 2010, so I don't know how you can fully compare teams of different eras..

The Lakers started the collusion era, or we can just call it the "salary dump" era, where more bad teams than ever would move good players on their teams so that they can make money when the franchise needed it..the economy is obviously different in this era..you can't compare under these cir stances, when such moves were unheard of(they happened once in a while, but not even close to as frequently as we've seen them since the Gasol collusion)..


As for the 2010 Lakers, Blessings is really overrating them, as usual..they struggled to beat Boston, and it took them 2 buzzer-beaters in 6-game series' vs. OKC and Phoenix, 2 playoff teams that don't really stand out..they obviously deserved the le, but they weren't even close to being a dominant team by any means..their 3-point shooting and spacing was abysmal, and Kobe struggled against the only good defensive teams he went up against..
