^^that's a pretty fair comparison, tbh..Knicks-Magic of today in their penultimate games of the season on a b2b to the top East contenders of the 90s outside of the Bulls..
I can't even find a gif to exemplify what a ing loser you are for saying that

Are any of Pop's teams better than the '96 Bulls?
Pretty damn good starting 4 for both teams
Leonard and Childs the weak links
Bulls Triangle Offense
Wow these are as good as a 12 seed team in todays nba..lol
and yet no one in todays NBA would sniff that team/playbook
None of DK's teams would stand a chance against last year's Spurs in the pace-and-space era. Real talk.
Why is that high school women's basketball team wearing Bulls jerseys?
Oh wait - those were the actual Bulls' plays?
Does Duncan in his prime, start on the 96 Bulls?
Easily. Duncan in his prime was putting up quadruple-doubles in Finals games
Spur Nation has spoken!
The '96 Bulls would take a diarrhetic, Metamucil laced on ALL of the Spur "championship" teams. It wouldn'tbe pretty tbh.
And yet the average offensive rating this year is WORSE than those of 1997.
This year, how many teams are actually running a motion offense? The Spurs, Hawks, GSW, and that's about it.
Cavs runs iso, Hou as well. LA is all Chris Paul, POR, and OKC as well. TOR, WAS as well.
To assert that motion offense is some kind of recent phenomenon isn't showing how great the current game is, it simply shows how ignorant you are about the history of the game.
The 70s Knicks ran a motion offense, so did the Walton Blazers. Then there's the 80's Celtics, Nuggets, 90s Sonics, 80s Warriors, early 00 Kings, that either relied heavily or had some variation of the motion offense. In fact, recent motion offense is based on the Princeton offense, which was implemented in the 30s.
The problem is that other than the 86 Celtics, there was a long period of time motion offense didn't yield any success, and the major problem was because the rules allowed constant checking, which kills offensive flow. Not to mention that teams that employed motion offense didn't have the tools to be elite defensively as it is extremely difficult to find 5 or more players who are above average in shooting, passing, dribbling and defense. It is not until recently with the rule changes that allows the advancement of team defense, which in turn gives coaches the flexibility of hiding below average defenders better, and achieve a balance in offense and defense using motion offense principles.
The intro was the best part.Anybody know what sport this is, tbh? What the is this trash?!
Funny how one person starts a shtick and the usual suspects/sock puppets chime in to support it as if everything that flows in the river of Harlem is drinkable water. I like his takes probably as much as anyone, but what's the point of the sycophant schtick that seems to permeate his threads?

The agenda is really pretty simple.
The Spurs run a motion offense.
The Spurs won a championship in historical fashion.
Therefore, a motion offense is better than the iso offense of the old days.
Which means that the 2014 is one of the best teams of all time.
By short-changing the teams of the past, the schtick essentially puts the Spurs up in this podium that no other NBA champions can touch. It ignores the obvious rule changes that allowed this offense to prosper, and ignored the rules that allowed smart coaches and system to hide weak defensive links better than the past rules would allow.
As for the 14 Spurs vs. the 96 Bulls, it again depends on the rules.
In the modern game, the Spurs wins because the Spurs are built based on those rules. The Bulls had phenomenal perimeter defense with players like Pippen, Jordan, Harper and Rodman, but their interior defense wasn't that great. Players like Rik Smits, Ewing, Shaq and Kemp caused problems for those Bulls, and and passing tandem of Duncan and Splitter will cause the same damage. Leonard and Green can help slow down Pippen and Jordan. The help defense on the Spurs will help minimize the effectiveness of the Bulls, while their strong defensive rebounding will help minimize the effectiveness of Rodman on offense.
In 96 though, players like Bellinelli and Parker, and to an extent Manu, would be exposed on defense. They simply do not have the athletic ability to keep up with their counter parts. The long active guards of the Bulls will likely shut down Parker, and there really isn't anyone Bellinelli can guard.
Old, sloppy, and full of black men. Fits the description of your mom's vag.
