The 96 Bulls had a better bench than the 92 version
They had the European MVP coming off the bench
Bulls beat the Spurms because David was a huge got; Splitter in a black body
Who you get ?
i for one think 92 Bulls is an overall better team than 96. MJ and Pippen at their peak... With grant / Cartwright.
Leonard / Green vs MJ / Scottie, advantage Bulls
Duncan / Split / Diaw advantage Spurs imo
Spurs bench would eat Bulls bench
id say Spurs but MJ/Pippen in 92 was some scary combo tbh

I'd have to say Bulls. If we can't stop Westbrook then who's gonna stop Jordan
Not to mention they play an actual system unlike the Thunder. Defensively they are miles better than the 2014 and 2013 Heat.
It would be a bad match up.
Da Bulls...
No-way '92 Bulls are better than '96
- Ron Harper far better defender than Pax & BJ. Could score when needed. 6 foot 6 PG
- Jordan, sure he's less explosive in '96 but still ripping off a consistent 49.5% fadeaway
- Pippen, better all around in 1996. Essentially his all around prime
- Rodman, much better than Grant
- Longley vs Cart is a wash to me
- Bench: far better in 1996
- Coaching: Phil with more tricks on the refs in 1996
I think 2014 Spurs stack up better against Shaq's Lakers assuming Hack-a-Shaq exists. No one is guarding Parker and Kobe gets slowed down by Leonard. At that point it's Glen Rice or Rick Fox
Yes 96 bench is better but MJ in 92 is a better version of 96 even though it's close now Pippen was much better.
grant / Cartwright duo is much more versatile than rodmon / longley. In def 96 has the edge but offensively it's not even close in favor of 92.
I wish Megan Fox would be her old self tbh
Spurs in 5, tbh, with the Bulls winning 1 game due to officiating..
90s basketball is a product of nostalgia..go on Youtube and watch any Bulls game from the 90s, it's hideous, antiquated basketball that was mostly based on Jordan hype(in an age where the masses didn't know he was an antisocial piece of )..
Spurs struggle against super-athletic rim protectors and stretch 4s..Bulls didn't have either, it would be a poor matchup for them..
- Harper was totally washed up tbh and his defense was not really needed in 96 with Pippen and rodman
- we agree MJ was better in 92
- I disagree on Pippen, check the stats, 92 Pippen is better than 96 and it's not that close
- defensively yes but he was an offensive black hole, grant was scoring 14-15 ppg so id give a slight advantage to 92
- agreed
- agreed
- I'm not talking about fooling the refs here just the better team
people reminds 96 for the rs win record but difference is what ? 4 games with 92 knowing that in 96 3 pts line was closer which is an advantage for a perimeter team like the Bulls
- Pippen played the best basketball of his career from 94 to 96
- true Cartwright and Grand brought more than Longman
- however, with Ron Harper, the Bulls had size in the backcourt (which is why they dumped Armstrong for him, because of Orlando's big backcourt)
i don't disagree but you can't deny the offensive and defensive forces that were Pippen and Jordan.. It's 90s bb but also a perimeter oriented team which is very much 00s ball tbh
In modern bb SF became the focal point and Pippen is beast at this post. 92 bigs are serviceable and bulls were running a constructed system on both O and D
Except 92 Pippen is a better and more efficient scorer, he also has more reb, more assists, more steals and more blocks... Not sure where this Pippen peak is 94-96 come from.
Nah. Video highlights confirm Jordan was on another level compared to today's stars. Lateral quickness, vertical, skill-level, defense. Today's NBA is much easier to score due to rule changes creating more spacing and less physical play.
The triangle offense is the most overrated system of all-time IMO..unlike the Spurs new-age system, which required players that were great at performing specific roles at a high level, the only real success we've seen from the triangle is when it has historically great players carrying the load
It just seemed innovative and special because it was successful in eras where the majority of teams weren't running offensive systems..it's easy to gain a reputation when you have the greatest of all-time, the greatest peak big man of all-time, and Kobe/Pippen running your offense against opposing ty coaches..
Do you remember the hype surrounding the 2002 Sacramento Kings and their system? It pales in comparison to the Spurs, with inferior players, too

1992 Bulls in 5 games
tbh in 92 the SG position was garbage, especially on the defensive end
Dumars was a TOSB
Stark was not bad defensively, but he was a mental midget
Majerle "stopper" my ass
Reggie was crafty but wasnt a good defensive player
Maxwell wasnt bad actually
Oh ok
1991-1993 was the apex of Jordan's career. Nobody would've stopped him, not even re Kiwi.tbh in 92 the SG position was garbage, especially on the defensive end

Let's not even get to Green and Ginobili.
The 1992 Knicks did a good job on him, and the 2014 Spurs are a far better defensive team, statistically..1992 Bulls in 5 games
IIRC, the 2014 Spurs would have ranked as the best defensive team in the NBA in that season, statistically..
I just checked Dad Killer's opposition in 1992..
pretty much what I saidI just checked Dad Killer's opposition in 1992..
