Man you bringing back funny memories. Zo was tough but couldn't keep his head in the game messing around with the Worm. Worm would make Bogut and Uncle Festus cry if these teams matched up.#BULLSSWEEP
I knew some moron who still got milk on his chest and who still aint even pissing hard would bring this silly up as their proof
MJ didn't take AI seriously saw him as ZERO threat...I'm not saying cats couldn't score on MJ but they were not beating him in a 7 game series period.....MJ was hardened by that Bad Boys Piston team and those rugged was NY Knick defenses so unless you was coming with something real you better go sit your lil ass down in a corner somewhere....
Whats so ironic is AI scored 44 and they still got blew out

Why does everyone fail to mention Ron Harper? He was the starting PG and one uva good defender as well as a decent perimeter shooter. The point is with Harper, MJ, Pipp, and Rodman you had 4 defensive studs....and a decent 5th defender in Kukoc.
Yea I don't think it'd be close.
Tony Parker*
Lollard Couldve dropped 50 on the Worriers, lmao.
It would be a sweep, and the games wouldn't be close.
2016 Spurs would match up better with them
Imagine if AI had eastern bloc training he probably could have scored 70 against the bulls.
Are you serious? You are aware that Iverson played two years at Georgetown, and he was nearly 22 years old at this time (he was 19 as a freshman at Georgetown), right? MJ played only 30 minutes, while Iverson played the entire game; the game ended 128-102. Iverson had a brilliant stretch of 40 point nights (5 games in a row), but they were all loses, and he played nearly every minute. But hey, he DID shoot over 50% during that time.
It doesn't matter how great their top 4 players are, Kool.
#fail tbh.....
The Bulls were perfectly built to defend all offenses not just modern ones....its why they won 6 les and would have won 8 straight had the mafia not forced Dad Killer to play baseball for 2 yrs...
The Dubs winning the series goes against the entire point you tried to make...all that you you typed but understand none of it..
Defense..thats the key....just like MJ said when he ted on Lebron... So Who Is Lebron guarding was MJ's point....its a weaker league by far...
But let me walk you through this since you have no idea what the your talking about...
MJ guards Curry....does Curry, Clay, Iggy, or Barnes guard MJ....especially in the post where MJ mind ed the out of opponents with his fade-aways and lethal low post game....tell me O wise one who guards MJ....
Does Draymond Green out hustle Dennis ing Rodman.....
And what about Pip....who guards him....
Yeah the Dubs starting front would be fouled out after 2 quarters of play....
The 96 Bulls have no depth per modern standards. You think lops like Luc Longley, Bill Wennington, and Will Perdue can keep up with the speed of the modern game? And lol Steve Kerr trying to guard Livingston or Barbosa.
Tell me with a straight face this a deep team (by modern standards):
http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/CHI/1996.html
Luc Longley was their 4th leading scorer
And Longley was a decent player, but he fit that era. He wouldn't fit this one. He'd get murdered on pick-n-rolls. The Bulls top 4 are legit, in any era, but it massively drops off after that.
Not a sweep. But 6 or 7 games would be my choice. Wish I could watch that series.
That cherry pick is as bad as a Jordan fanboy cherry picking the multiple times Danny Green has shut down Steph Curry and claiming, "Danny Green made Steph's life . Imagine what Jordan would do to him!"
But knowing you, you probably think Danny is an example of the modern super athlete, reared on "Eastern Bloc" training from the womb and fed science-fiction nutrition treatments, never mind the fact he has like a 25" vertical, can't dribble a basketball, and routinely gets chased down and blocked by midgets on fast breaks.
Warriors still win that series. But let's not get re ed in diminishing Jordan (and I dislike that er) because of your irrational bias toward post-00s basketball. He wins the battle with Wardell.
Sweep? Nah. But they would be the faves. Bulls were a great team but Rodman was not as good on defense by that time as his Pistons version (though he was a better rebounder)
IF PJ went small to match gstate (and that's a big IF since just last year Pjax was making fun of small ball and analytics) They are punishing the warriors maybe Iggy could defend Pippen ...but MJ is winning his matchup whether it's Iggy, Klay or Barnes defending. Dryamond vs. Rodman would be fuin as well. But the dubs are deeper at the small ball spots ... I think Bulls in 5 or 6.
A sweep is disrespectful.
Mehh. Although I agree bulls win ... Rodman was not untouchable as a defender by this time. Lot's of flopping, holding bull . IF a matchup was called with teh soft rules of today no way he is even as good as he was by the bulls years which was overrated. The Pistons version of Rodman s on the Bulls version defensively tbh. ...
I agree with the rest though.
He also neglects to mention that A.I. played PG on that team. Stack was the SG, who Jordan would've been matched up a good deal of the time. Or the Bulls would've put Pippen on Stack and hid Jordan on Clarence Weatherspoon (it really wouldn't been a hide since Weatherspoon was 16-17ppg scorer). No way does Jordan guard Iverson for long stretches. Then who the guards Stack or Weatherspoon? Ron Harper?
And Iverson scored a good deal of points there on fast breaks and on Steve Kerr
But you have to take KL2 with a grain of salt. He's so infatuated with the modern game and players, he loses all rationality and swoons like a 12 year old girl at a One Direction concert.
Seriously? Check out that roster beyond Rodman, Pippen, Jordan, and Kukoc.
Luc Longley gets killed by Bogut or the Warriors small ball. Past prime Ron Harper is a total liability in that series (who do you hide him on?) And the Bull bench
The Bulls were a product of their time where you could get away with having a top heavy roster and going 6-7 deep in the post-season. I'm not even convinced they beat the best 80's teams, who were much, much deeper on average.
Great team, but the most overrated team in NBA history. And it's not for lack of weakness at their core, but the overall roster. I mean
Pistonss version of Dennis was raw energy Bulls version was a skilled craftsman....Dennis got position on all the great big men during that era....and honed his rebounding skills with the Bulls....no one is ever untouchable thats not the point...the point is he was the best defensively player in the league during the Bulls run....the only player to stake a claim otherwise is Hakeem....Draymond poses no threat the Dennis whatsoever tbh......the Dubs are kids the Bulls were men....it wouldn't even be fair to compare the teams....tbh

Livngston and Barbosa?
Well, since you compared Bill Wennington favorably to Bogut, I don't think anything I can say will convince you. We'll agree to disagree. But I am glad I'm starting to see a new Kool, with a bit of growing dislike toward the Warriors.Livngston and Barbosa?
You don't believe me, but Wardell winning les won't be good for Kobe. I think you understand the implications.
Root for us, Kool. It's time to give us those good vibes once again
Actually it matters tremendously how good the top 4 are....lets look at it from the Dubs perspective...their top four players blow teams out....giving their bench an opportunity to play and get better....its because of their youth....their bench is not great they just look great on the strength of their starting 4.....now let me explain this to you....if it was anyone eslse I might not feel as strongly....but love him or hate him MJ was literally a rare genetic freak of nature and I'm not taking size wise....he was a sterotype of the African black man...he had freakazoid genes...yeah I don't recall if it was a Sports Illustrated article or from One of Phil's bull books...but they routinely talked about during the playoffs how MJ would play 36 holes of golf in the hot sun before many playoff games and none of those games did the Bulls lose....It doesn't matter how great their top 4 players are, Kool.

To be honest I don't know of any other player that could summon that kind of energy and will power.....so it was an unfair compe ive advantage for the Bulls.....when you got a on your squad that can do that it doesn't matter how ing deep your bench is....your going to need a deep bench....
I don't think you quite understand the nuances of the eras....theres not a kid from this dub team that would pose any threat to that Bulls dynasty.....it would be a rrunaway....Clay and Steph cant take hits....they can't take punisshment....they are too fragile...it would be a slaughter tbh....

Youre insane...this has nothing to do with Kobe...I like the Chef....he's an humble guy.....and I'm not gonna cheer for him because I have bad luck when it comes to selecting a winner... I will just sit back and watch him work his wizardry.....and I'm not bashing the Dubs at all...they're just boys compared to the Bulls thats all I'm saying.....I'm glad to see they have you scared less tbh....I personally could never root for the Spurs you guys play the game the wrong way....Pop is a disgrace to coaching...sitting out players for no reason other than to try to craft some false narrative for the media to write...of "we lost because I sat this player or that player"...faking injuries and playing up this false we are good guys image....I can't stand yalls fake asses.. Tbh
72-10 bulls is overrated as ...saying they can contain this and that or beat the gsw..
did the 72-10 sweep anyone in the playoffs out easts? if they were so great how come they got pushed to 6-7 games in the finals?
I idiot proofed my response as much as I could but I see some idiot still got through the firewall....at any rate its not about the 72-10 team....its about the Bulls dominance period....when you win 3 straight and do it again then of course you wear down while at the same time other teams get amped to play you....so being taken to the max games or close to it comes at no surprise....I didn't say they couldn't be beaten but the Dubs would have been just more fodder for them....the only teams that would have beat them were the Magic / Kareem Lakers and again the ShaKobe Lakers....why?
Not because I'm a homer but rather because big guard play with a dominant inside presence would have overwhelmed Mike.....Kobe unlike Curry is a big physical guard just like Magic....Kobe and Magic would have taken MJ and Scottie in the paint and scored at will....the Bulls only counter would be MJ in the paint....Shaq and Kareem would have feasted.....it would have been too much for the Bulls to overcome.....the only way the Spurs beat the Bulls is if they have Tim, Manu, Parker, Bowen, and a Prime David Robinson...and even then it would be close becsuse Rodman would have made Robinson his ....and Manu would have been to mentally weak to even play in the backcourt vs. MJ....Tony Parker would have ended up saving that series for the Spurs.. .
Damn, Mid getting his pushed in by Kool.
Damn, Mid getting his pushed in by Kool.
I'm just making it do what it do....
so ur agreeing with gsw would be sweep and curry held below 20ppg like pippen said?
