I was fortunate to grow up in Illinois, not far from Chicago. I was born in '78 so MJ and the Bulls were my squad for life. The first game I ever went to was a loss to the Dominique Wilkins Atlanta Hawks in '87 if I recall correctly. My father's colleague had season tix all throughout the winning dynasty years, so we regularly went to a handful of games every one of those championship seasons and those in between, from 91-98. So I've seen the dynasty live. They won every single game we attended through those years. I saw many games live during the 1996, 72 win season including game 2 of the finals vs the Seattle Supersonics.
Lived on Chicago's North side for the Bulls in '96 and the bears in '85, the Blackhawks in'10, '13 and '15. living in the NW now and am still bringing up the little piece of trivia when it's appropriate.
Grew up on the westside right down the street from the Stadium/UC.. seen every title live. this team was MUST SEE TV.. Even if you didn’t watch basketball you watched MJ and the bulls
I opened a 1990 skybox pack, as a birthday present, some weeks ago, and there was a Jordan (No.41) card on top in it ! I was a child INSTANTLY - screaming and jumping 😂 what a present! 🙌
When it comes to 72-10 bulls vs 73-9 warriors there is only one opinion that matters. Steve Kerr is the only person who was on both teams. He gives that to the bulls.
For me, the only team who I think would beat the 96 bulls is the 92 dream team. If you could clone MJ and have him on both teams that'd be a great game to watch 😂
People forget that the Bulls that 2nd three peat was the oldest team in the league. Smacking those young bucks around (Even though that 98 season they were tired, but still won it all).
No thanks to Scottie since tried to sabotage the Bulls season by delaying surgery (all to spite Krause) and Krause for trading Jason Caffey and not getting back a forward who was equally as competent as Jason was. Dickey Simpķins....REALLY?!!
I was fortunate to see the 96 Bulls live at the forum (magic;s comeback game). Here is what I saw: 1) defense - they completely shut down everyone especially in the middle. Harper and Rodman in particular stood out in that regard and that says a lot considering Mike and Scottie are elite defenders That's 4 elite defenders. 2) I swear everytime Mike touched that ball, women in the stadium screamed like he was a rock star 😆
That 96 Bulls team was like watching a bunch of super heros at work. Each player was insanely good on his own, but the fact that they were able to come together as a team and get shit done brought them to another level. They were The Avengers of the NBA in 96. I was a kid when they were tearing it up that year and now I look back on it and think about how great it was to witness it happening live.
IT WAS REALLY GOOD TO BE ALIVE AND WATCHED THAT 96 BULLS TEAM AND THEIR 2ND 3-PEAT....literally i failed my midterm exam in medical school to watch them !!!! 26 years old man and grew up Lakers Showtime BUT whewwww 96 BULLS were gods!!!!!
Gilbert said something that really stood out to me. "It depends on how mad Michael Jordan is." We all have heard and seen what's happened when someone trash-talked Jordan. Imagine what Jordan would do because of Draymond Green...
@@EC_IS_Here LMAO That's not William Wallace! William Wallace is 7 feet tall and shoots lightning bolts out of his arss. (Mel Gibson's movie Braveheart 1995)
Kukoc was a great player but Ron Harper would get the start against Golden State - Phil Jackson would sacrifice some of the offense that Kucoc provides for the defense that Harper brings to the table - Kucoc was not a good defender and stayed in trouble when someone posted him up - Kucoc would come into the game off the bench fresh and drop a few big shots late in the 1st quarter and 2nd quarter - but Harper would have been chasing Curry and Micheal would have been on Thompson - people overlooked what Harper did every night - he had 2 of the biggest plays in that Game 7 against Indiana in 1998 - under 2 minutes on the clock in the 4th quarter he got a steal and on the next Bulls possession he grabbed a offensive rebound - those 2 plays kept Indiana from getting within 2 points - Scottie Pippen and Ron Harper stayed on the offensive boards grabbing rebounds for extra possessions - then you add in Dennis Rodman's offensive rebounds - (it's very hard to beat a team that is crashing the boards and playing solid defense) - people don't understand that Offense was just icying on the cake for Chicago - they didn't rely on offensive - full court pressure, defense, and rebounding is what Phil Jackson was all about - defense wins Championships and that would probably be the difference in the game if Chicago faced Golden State - Curry would not be sitting out there 100 yards away from the basket shooting 3's because Harper would be picking him up in the backcourt as he is bringing the ball up the court - just those 3 or 4 seconds of pressure on the ball can take a team out of rhythm - they are normally use to getting a shot off with 6 seconds left on the play clock - but by putting pressure on the ball and throwing off the timing of the play developing, now they are rushing a shot because the play clock is down to 2 seconds - but it would have been totally different for Golden State's offense faced Chicago's defense
@@jada8047 stop it...the 96Bulls could matchup defensively with those guys with Harper Jordan and Pippen in a way those 3 stars on the warriors have never dealt with and Curry is a choker proved it when he blew a 3-1 finals series lead vs Cleveland and failed in epic fashion after a 73win season... If Im putting a team ahead of the 96Bulls its the 86Celtics who had 5 legit HOFers including 3HOF big men who Chicago would not be able to matchup with down low at all especially on the glass in spite of how insnaely good Rodman was on the boards and on defense...
Absolutely. I went to, watched on TV, or listened to EVERY game that season and post season. Absolutely, perfectly managed and player executed team. There were two regular season games the officials (one ref specifically) were aggressively making bad calls at the end of the game. It realistically was a 74-8 season to me
Lived in Kentucky and Georgia in nearly years (39 now). Without WGN I would have only seen the Bulls play a handful of times. Never missed a game from 94 to 98.
It was quite the Norman Rockwell scene. When I was a kid, if Jordan was playing, the family gathered 'round thee ol picture box and watched the greatest athlete to ever play professional sports
Watching the 80s Celtics with Bird then the 90s bulls was a great time for basketball. I don’t watch basketball like I did back then it’s not nearly as exciting
Im 29 & even though I didn’t see the 90s bulls or MJ in his prime I love going back and learning about the game. From researching the stats, listening to player recollections and watching film with my own eyes its easy to see why they became a dynasty, especially that 96 team they were great at every aspect of the game & certainly the best team ever. MJ is the 🐐 & showed why in 96, along with the great play of Scottie, Rodzilla, Toni, Harp etc
I am not a new fan by any means but I can respect 2017 warriors being put in that convo. Bulls would win, but yeah I can see why they would be in the same convo
I've been watching basketball since 1980 and after thinking real hard about the best Finals NBA teams ever, and I would pick in no order, the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, the 1985-86 Boston Celtics, 1984-85 LA Lakers and the 2000-01 LA Lakers. I believe each of those championship teams would beat each other.
Apparently, you were watching 80s basketball with Stevie Wonder glasses on because the 87 Lakers, the 86 Celtics and 83 Sixers would all beat the Bulls in a seven game series. Yes, MJ is a problem, but the front courts of those teams would demolish Chicago, they would have no chance.
I was 5 in 1988 and saw the dunk contest. MJ became my hero. So you can imagine how dope the next decade was for me!!! Saw most of it live, highlights still give me goosebumps
it's the mindset of the players. The GOAT had a goal and everybody's into it. They played like it was their last game always. They started the season looking for the championship.
I legit feel sorry for ANYONE who didn't get to witness 80s and 90s basketball especially the Bulls.. children will never understand and youtube and even The Last Dance to an extent doesn't give it justice..
Just the difference in HEART between the eras is beyond light years apart. Not even close. Those days the mentality was “answer to your opponent scoring at all costs”. And DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE!!!!!!
Toni Kukoc is a lot like Pau Gasol, Dirk, Luka. Tall, long, smooth handle, great court vision, smooth shot and a high IQ. Their back up guard were a little undersized, but they had a pretty timeless excellence across the roster
My opinion the only team better Team than the 96 Bulls is the Dream Team. In todays NBA the 96 Bulls would do better than 72-10. Not 82 game sweep but not far from it
The 72-10 Bulls had great chemistry together and they had guys who had great IQ for basketball 🏀. The main 3 guys were MJ, Pippen and Rodman. But that bench had some talent too. Kukoc was underrated and Steve Kerr was hitting big 3s and Harper was a monster with defence! If Golden State played with hand 🤚🏽 checking it would be total destruction! 👍🏽👍🏽
If you gave the 96 Bulls the whole season to learn today's rules they'd figured out how everything is called and it's a wrap in the playoffs no matter who they play.
96 Bulls quite possibly the greatest team of all time. Try as I might it's hard to name a team that could handle them. That's tough for me to say because I was a Jazz fan in the 90s.
I remember back in 93 I believe, as the NBA finals were approaching and it was Chicago vs phoenix, and I was moving to Phoenix Az from Chicago at that time. So my last day in school some kids asked, if I was going to change and start cheering for phoenix and I said never. I live in Phoenix and till this day I haven't cheered for the phoenix suns. But if I had a choice to pick which phoenix team was better. I'd say that team with Charles Barkley was the best team ever assembled by phoenix since I've been there. But Chicago with MJ, it was every year and you knew just knew no matter what they'd find away to win . They always did
I agree 100% Scottie pippen Michael Jordan Ron Harper plus Dennis rodman defensive first team bulls going to win that series all day With their defensive physicality
Every generation gets to see the greatest of their time . Every generation thinks they have seen the best ever and every generation is correct. It’s the best they have ever seen. The greatest ever is the greatest YOU have seen.
Yeah but the difference is that us that were actually alive during those days of that bulls dominance also lived through till this present day. We witnessed then and we witnessed now. I do this when I watch the game today 😬🤦🏽♂️😔 NOT EVEN CLOSE. The efficiency the teams had then was insane. Today they rely on the 3 pointer waaaaay too much. Stupidly too much.
96 bulls were fantastic. I think the 86 Celtics would go toe to toe. It would be interesting to see how the coaches would adjust to the defensive schemes of different era styles.
I watched my Sonics beat the Bulls in game four of the 96 finals, I don't remember much but I'm grateful I was there. I saw Seattle beat them in the regular season that year as well, don't really remember that one either and it isn't even on TH-cam. Hard to believe, the two finals teams from that year only played twice in the regular season I'd hoped they'd be on here, but they're not.... I loved both those teams that season but Seattle was my team.
This would be a phenomenal match up. Phil Jackson is underrated as a tactician and would take advantage of match-ups. The Era would have to be considered because of the defensive rule changes. But the Bulls would win either way. HOT TAKE: the 89 Pistons would match up well with any modern team. Especially if you replace one of the backup big guys with an average 3 and D player.
The only team that can “compete” with the 96 Bulls, are (post 96 teams) teams like the “Lakers 00-02 3-peat’ers” and the ‘12 & 13 Miami Heat. A lot of people think the Warriors can compete against the 96 Bulls, but it’s not happening. I like the Warriors, but they paved the way for the Soft Era we live in today, their series along with the Lebronaliers.
I'm glad you said the 86Celtics the Pistons the Lakers and every dominant team that played defense in that era 3'$ are good.. defending the 3?..is better. Ego's where about who are u.... and who I AM! 🏀🏆♥️
they ain't beating the '86 Celtics. It'd be a hellava battle, but Larry and company would figure out a way to win. Besides the big 3 pounding them down, DJ would have a great series, and that bench would tip it: Walton, Wedman (very underrated) Sichting and others.
Yep, I’ve been saying this for years, but nobody listens. That Celtics front court was nasty. I’m a huge Laker fan and I also think the 87 Lakers would beat the Bulls in seven game series, but those Lakers and Celtics matchups of the 80s were out of this world.
You may be right - ‘87 Lakers were fantastic. Mychal Thompson was a huge add. BUT if tragic Len Bias had not died i think the C’s would have won in ‘87. Walton hurt himself over training son after Bias’ death and the core group logged way too many minutes. But that’s an alternative universe we’ll never know.
Yes, it was a privilege to be able to watch jordan and the Bulls. i had every final game recorded of the bulls on vhs jordan was the only basketball player that got me to check the to see if the bulls were playing and if I wasn't able to watch the game I would have it recorded so I could watch it later where's a DeLorean so I can go back in time lol 😅 great video bro
I watched the teams through the 80s 90s and until today. MJ is the goat and his 73-9 team would smoke any team in modern times. Just the pure physical nature of the team. The defense and no one boards like Rodman. Young people just don’t understand
It seems like they've won before the game was getting started.. They had "something special" (aura) to intimidate their opponents and destroyed them quickly.. Legendary team..
thx for the conteant mr david. im from spain and always an old nba fan, i born 24th august 1984,day of the olympic finals between spain and usa,i don't believe in casualties:) salute.
I do not know about this those 2001 lakers champions 15-1 would give the 96 bulls a run for their money. who gone guard Shaq and Kobe in their prime REALLY
I'm pretty sure all the 96 bulls are still alive. Give them a few months to get in shape and play the game. Make it pay per view and millions would watch.
Thank you!! Another person aside from myself with a brain. I’ve said this for years and years. I would also add the 87 Lakers and the 83 Sixers as teams that would beat the bulls. Yes, MJ is a problem, but the front courts of those teams we mentioned would absolutely destroy Chicago.
that 96 Bulls team was special man. Glad to have grown up on the 90s Bulls and witnessed that live
Great team but wasn't the best team
@@jada8047 They are the best team because in the end they won the championship, while the 2016 warriors (73 - 9), didn't get the job done.
That is easy to do when you have 4 HOF players and the most accomplished coach ever!

I agree 100% Scottie pippen Michael Jordan Ron Harper plus Dennis rodman defensive first team bulls going to win that series all day With their defensive physicality
I always felt like kukoc could had went off more if he had more touches at that 3 ball, very underrate I felt

The only team that can “compete” with the 96 Bulls, are (post 96 teams) teams like the “Lakers 00-02 3-peat’ers” and the ‘12 & 13 Miami Heat.
A lot of people think the Warriors can compete against the 96 Bulls, but it’s not happening. I like the Warriors, but they paved the way for the Soft Era we live in today, their series along with the Lebronaliers.
What happened to the karate movie of urs. Where can we watch it
🐐
Greatest team of all time the 1996 Bulls in the greatest decade of the NBA and Basketball 100%
I'm glad you said the 86Celtics the Pistons the Lakers and every dominant team that played defense in that era 3'$ are good.. defending the 3?..is better. Ego's where about who are u.... and who I AM! 🏀🏆♥️
The glory days of basketball, when Michael Jordan was probably the most famous person on the planet and basketball was actually exciting to watch.. 😉
1996 BULLS 🐐👑👌🏽
People never admit that 96 bulls was stacked with 4 hall of famers still in their prime!!! I loved them but that’s the TRUTH nobody can deny!!!
It was Must See TV back then. Not today.
they ain't beating the '86 Celtics. It'd be a hellava battle, but Larry and company would figure out a way to win. Besides the big 3 pounding them down, DJ would have a great series, and that bench would tip it: Walton, Wedman (very underrated) Sichting and others.
Yep, I’ve been saying this for years, but nobody listens. That Celtics front court was nasty. I’m a huge Laker fan and I also think the 87 Lakers would beat the Bulls in seven game series, but those Lakers and Celtics matchups of the 80s were out of this world.
You may be right - ‘87 Lakers were fantastic. Mychal Thompson was a huge add. BUT if tragic Len Bias had not died i think the C’s would have won in ‘87. Walton hurt himself over training son after Bias’ death and the core group logged way too many minutes. But that’s an alternative universe we’ll never know.
If played by 90s rule Bulls sweep GSW, if todays rule 4-1 or 2 😮
Growing up in the South side of Chicago during the 90’s we all played ball. My friends and I called ourselves the Dickie Simpkins 5. Go 🐂 🐂
I really liked the 92 team
Definitely the GOAT NBA team, but I'd go as far as to say the greatest sports team of all time.😎💯
96 Bulls would probably even at least take a medal at paris olympic 24!!! Added Curry!! Gold!!!!
The best NBA team ever
if Durant can't lift his own weight how is he going to carry a team
durant's body is weak as an old dried leaf
Yes, it was a privilege to be able to watch jordan and the Bulls. i had every final game recorded of the bulls on vhs jordan was the only basketball player that got me to check the to see if the bulls were playing and if I wasn't able to watch the game I would have it recorded so I could watch it later where's a DeLorean so I can go back in time lol 😅 great video bro
I watched the teams through the 80s 90s and until today. MJ is the goat and his 73-9 team would smoke any team in modern times. Just the pure physical nature of the team. The defense and no one boards like Rodman. Young people just don’t understand
It seems like they've won before the game was getting started.. They had "something special" (aura) to intimidate their opponents and destroyed them quickly.. Legendary team..
Eric Spears is also one of my favorite comedians even if I don't know how to pronounce his name 🙃😆
Bulls v Warriors. Are they playing 90’s rules or 2010’s rules? Hand checking would be a major factor.
thx for the conteant mr david. im from spain and always an old nba fan, i born 24th august 1984,day of the olympic finals between spain and usa,i don't believe in casualties:) salute.
They were the best cause Jordan was the coach.
✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾🇨🇦
That’s a big difference. Just by the record alone
At least Steve Kerr won a chip with one of those teams. To be a part of both teams is historic in itself.
22:24
WHOA! Stop the damn press! Who let Kerr borrow the AI crossover??? LOL.
Celtics 85 86 best team ball movement i have ever seen
if you're a 96 Bulls fan and you haven't already, I recommend reading Phil Jackson's book - "Sacred Hoops" SPIRITUAL LESSONS OF A HARDWOOD WARRIOR
Imagine facing the best offensive team while also being the best defensive team in the league. Oh and they had Michael Jordan
i think i wrote an essay about this when i was in 7th grade.
96' Bulls vs 98' Bulls.
i dont remember which i said was better
Thank you ''96
This video should be labeled “Kenny Smith is a *MO* *RON* “
1996 Bulls was to good for this Era
I would even put Rodman on Klay or kd or Steph for some sequences.
I do not know about this those 2001 lakers champions 15-1 would give the 96 bulls a run for their money. who gone guard Shaq and Kobe in their prime REALLY
I'm pretty sure all the 96 bulls are still alive. Give them a few months to get in shape and play the game. Make it pay per view and millions would watch.
The conversation of best NBA teams of all time isn’t a real conversation without considering the ‘85-‘86 Celtics or the ‘71-‘72 Lakers.
Thank you!! Another person aside from myself with a brain. I’ve said this for years and years. I would also add the 87 Lakers and the 83 Sixers as teams that would beat the bulls. Yes, MJ is a problem, but the front courts of those teams we mentioned would absolutely destroy Chicago.
I agree with Byron Scott and Aries spears. But the never mentioned Tony kukoc
kukoc would be all over the warriors causing trouble.The bulls would have torn them a new azz hole lol
They keep saying who going stop Jordan to the basket, but they keep forgetting who going to stop Pippen from going to basket, too...!
