Warriors. The league is a lot better now than it was in the 90's as well.
1996 Bulls vs 2017 Warriors
- Thread starter snowcraig2.0
- Start date
Great call on Kukoc being the fifth starter rather than 18 7 footer fouls that were useful in the 90s but completely pointless now.
Actually Kukoc would be first off the bench and with the salary cap massively increased the Bulls would have added a fourth or fifth all star the same way the Warriors just did thanks to the rules changing just in time for them to easily add Durant.
Rodman and Green trying to one-up each other for the "nobody's a bigger d*** than me" award would have been hilarious. Somebody's gettin' socked in the mouth.
The league also lets you assemble a team of all stars a lot more easily, more easily than two years ago even.
Are we discounting that MJ was one of the best defensive players of his era?
Also Green vs. Rodman? Draymond is a punk and he's going against The Worm? Green would be so frustrated he'd kick someone in the nuts before tipoff.

In this theoretical scenario, I'd bet on the Warriors and make a lot of money off the Jordan lapdogs.
In Elo terms, this Golden State team coming off of game 2 is the best team ever.

That Bulls team and this Warriors team were built for different eras; there's little point comparing personnel.

Hmm i've heard a lot of bulls fanboy comments that are ridiculous but that's right up there for the all-time leader
The Bulls wouldn't be able to pay Jordan more than other teams' paid their entire roster with the new salary cap rules.
Bulls fans love to reminisce about average role players on their team somehow becoming legendary like after 20 years has passed . You had Jordan and Pippen and that was it. I've never heard a group of people that want to glorify Ron Harper so much
The Bad Boys era Pistons?
The Ewing era Knicks?
The 1960s Celtics will Bill Russell prowling around?
The Big Three era Celtics were an awesome defensive team, too, with Garnett at center.
Some of those Spurs teams built around Robinson and peak Duncan were, too.
How so? Last year with the cap spike allowed a one year window where almost every team had room to add another big contract, but going forward I don't see how this is the case. Max deals are still a percentage of the cap, and actually are a larger percentage than they were previously.
And in actuality, the Russell Celts teams were the best ever in terms of dominance and even more proof you can't compare eras. Because obviously the teams of today, and the 80s and 90s etc would have beaten them head to head. But those Celts teams had like 4 or 5 other HOFs on them and had way more talent than other teams of the era. That is why it also ridiculous to knock Wilt for not winning more championships. Same as with Lebron. He hasn't always ha the best team despite being the best player.
Those are all good defenses. That Bulls team had 3 first team All NBA defenders for that year. Though I have seen some other team defensive stats that show other defenses as better compared to their era, so the stats probably don't back my claim.
Lol just to name a few. I swear nobody watch basketball before the bulls and nobody has watch basketball after . It honestly is hilarious to listen to people talk about them. Like really you forgot about the Pistons and the Celtics defenses are you kidding me. Tons of better defenses before the bowls and tons of better defenses after them
You add nothing to the conversation because of your hate of the Bulls.
