It seems to take star players take at least 6-7 years to lead their teams to les. For Jordan, it was 7 and Lebron, I think 9 years. You must admit those bulls teams were sorry as when he arrived. Dave Corzine
Looked like Lebron's early Cavs teams.
In 1990 that bulls team just wasn't ready. So I do not penalize them for not advancing. Pippen still had growing up to do, same with Grant. They were both only in their 3rd year. This wasn't a situation like Lebron had when he stepped into a loaded team with mature superstars like FMVP Wade and Bosh. Agree with you on 91-98...Bulls were clearly better than everyone when Jordan played and they had a rebounder like Grant or Rodman.
