      I never compared the 90's to todays league. You did! I was merely pointing out why the bulls won so many rings. It was a joke of a league.
      The real super teams were in the 1980's with LAL, Boston, Detroit, Philadelphia and even Houston.
      The bulls didn't have to contend with a super talented league like that.
      Teams in the 90's had basically one star on it and the bulls simply had the deepest bench in the league, is why they won all of those rings.
      And to prove that point further, look at all of the teams they faced in the finals? Anyone could make it to the finals in those days. The 90's was watered down man and you know it!

    Murasan was a legit threat before his injuries, not just tall.
    He was voted most improved in 1995. 14.5ppg, 9.total rebound , 3.3 offensive. 2.3 block on 58% shooting. Not only 7’7” with 7’10” wingspan but probably about 330 or 340 then and strong.
    He was a very tough inside force offensively, tough on the boards, and defensively disruptive.

    Compared to today's "you get a foul if you fart" NBA, this looks like Game of Thrones.

    It's very hard to play against the guy who is that big. Denis did a great job as always.

    People think Rodman started trouble but his game and always has been is to get your mind off track, he did a great job at this. also he would rebound like a mad man.

    Part of Dennis Rodman's job was to be obnoxious to piss off the other team and throw them off their game.
