It's a no-brainer - Bulls. 6 les to 4.
Thanks Laker 55 for this flatering comparaison but I'll go for the bulls no doubt for the number of les for MJ. Now if the spurs can achieve 6 les, the spurs will be ahead.
It's a no-brainer - Bulls. 6 les to 4.
Bulls. More Championships and the greatest player who ever played the game. But there's no doubt that the Spurs have been great for a decade+.
1. Lakers & Celtics just about tied
2. Bulls
3. Spurs
4. Pistons
Spurs and it's not even close. San Antonio at least manages to stay relevant throughout the years. The Bulls were the greatest NBA team ever for a period of 8 years, but that ended when MJ left.
The Bulls. But MJ never had to face Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol, so it evens out. The Bulls and Spurs are equally successful.
Bulls based on popularity. You can't deny what Jordan did for the game of basketball. what Magic and Bird did, he expounded upon.
Based on that theory...
OKC>Phoenix.
As a Spurs fan it is just too hard to not respect 6 les the way Jordan won them.
The Spurs will never repeat.
No one is disrespecting what the Bulls did.
Jordan established a dynasty that was more dominant, both on the playing field and culturally, than any other dynasty in any sport. Or atleast, of anything I can think of. Nobody is trying to take that away from them.
However, before and since, they were not the special, while the Spurs have found a way to be exceptional throughout their history. It's not that suprising that most of us are giving the nod to the Bulls, especially since Spurs fans over the last ten years have been so championship oriented thanks to Tim Duncan, but I don't think championships are the sole determinant of a franchise's success. As somebody earlier mentioned, profits, a strong fanbase, a good image, and a consistently winning team are huge too. Even if they're a hated rival, I think the Phoenix Suns have been a successful franchise, but they haven't even won a single trophy.
I know I'm obviously biased, but I'd say the Bulls were the better dynasty while the Spurs are the more successful franchise.
the best sg ever vs the best pf ever
damn bulls
who had more compe ion
spurs
Agreed!!
Bulls were the better dynasty and the Spurs are the more successful franchise!!
tim duncan-orionTo which Spurs are you referring? Do any of them post here? You know, I thought Sequ was really Jacque Vaughn.
The Burs
Since when?
one thing that has yet to be mentioned....
SA is a small market team with a limited budget, and yet is still able to compete year in and year out with the big dogs.
Chicago is a big market team with lots of money, and yet aside from the Jordan era, they have been a steaming pile of . Heck, even in the beginning of the Jordan era, they were garbage. It wasn't until they got Jackson and Pippen that they became the Bulls dynasty.
The Spurs are the better franchise.......they have the 2nd best winning % in NBA history and they are only 2 les behind the Bulls, while having to dig under the couch cushions for loose change to pay players.
Even if the Spurs are constant winners, everyone will pick the bulls because of MJ.
Close the gap San Antonio and win the 08-09 LOB Trophy!!!
bulls only had 1 decade of dominance
while the rest is not even comparable to the spurs consistency...
had we just taken care of business in the .4 game and game 7 against Dallas, we could very well have 6 les and a 5 peat in our bag o tricks.
you have to bring them up, don't you?
I hate saying "if this" or "if that"....but when you really think about it ...it's pretty crazy how things could have worked out.
If you would've told me back in 1998, at the end of the Bulls Dynasty, that the Spurs, in 10 years on January the 2nd 2009, they would have 4 championships and the championship window would be open another 4 years, I would've thought you were crazy.
That being said the Bulls have had by far the most success, the two three peats, the greatest player to ever walk on the face of the earth, probobly the best coach ever to coach basketball coaching.
Its the thing of legends that your grand kids will ask about how it was and you will tell them about the Bulls and Spurs dynasties.
No clue. Im gonna say the Spurs because Im from San Antonio. And Im not from Chicago.
ugh you do realize that a Laker fan started this thread and that almost all Spur fans are replying with the Bulls right?
Anyway to answer the question- Bulls ofcourse. They had MJ.
