As a Chicagoan, born and raised here, I was 15 that year. We were so spoiled, the City was live af back then (still is actually, but our teams suck these days...lol). But yeah, maybe I'm biased however I do believe they are the best team ever. Always enjoy your reactions, I don't think I ever commented before. Keep doing what you're doing bro. Peace from the Chi.
i'm still NOT certain about the future and at 18:43 in my OPINION the best individual stats ever are still the #1 TIED rebounding from legends bill russell and wilt chamberlain #2 TIED shotblocking from bill russell and scoring from wilt chamberlain #3 shotblocking from wilt chamberlain #4 passing from legend oscar robertson #5 scoring from legend kareem abdul-jabbar #6 scoring from legend michael jordan #7 passing from legend magic johnson #8 scoring from legend larry bird #9 passing from legend jerry west #10 shotblocking from manute bol #11 shotblocking from legend hakeem olajuwon and #12 scoring from legend shaquille o'neal
No offense to a Kobe fan... but Kobe was just so much less efficient than MJ. In a back and forth, nearly every year including Kobe's MVP year, MJ outpaced Kobe in just about every stat. So I just don't see between having 3 people who can guard Kobe -- MJ, Scottie, and Harper -- that they'd have trouble switching off and slowing him down, but they wouldn't even need to with his efficiency back then. And no way that Kobe was gonna stop all of them. And then Rodman and Kukoc I think would actually be the best answers for Shaq -- not because I think they'd stop him, but because Rodman would give him trouble and I think a lot of players would stop the ball from getting to Shaq a lot more than the Bulls would have trouble with distribution. And Shaq is slow but the Bulls are all fast AF. My money is always on the team with better defense and the one that's faster, and with endurance and that 96 team just had an undeniable endurance. Especially MJ and D-Rod -- those two men had motors that did NOT STOP.
Kobe being inefficient is a myth, he played big part of his career during deadball era and last years he was injured that heavily affected his fg%. Look up efficiency ratings during 00s, he was always above average and higher than guys like Ray Allen, Wade, Bron etc on a big ass volume too
@@egrassa1480 Being "less efficient than MJ" overall isn't a myth. It also doesn't make a player "inefficient" -- just less efficient than MJ. MJ is one of the highest usage and most efficient SGs off all time, if not the highest of all time when combining all stats.
@@Tcheera if you look at stats without context sure, Kobe poor shot selection due to playing with bums and his later years with injuries when he was significantly worse made his stats look bad. Hes this efficient despite all of that, imagine him playing with good teammates and no injuries, I would still take MJ but Kobe would be much closer
@@egrassa1480 Yeah but you can same for MJ -- a lot of his shots were lower efficiency in early years when it was him with no team and he was one of the worst record teams and his usage and ppg were exceedingly low in S2. His efficiency also had a bit of irregularity and his season scoring wasn't as great in the 95 season when he only played the end of the season out of retirement. And his Wizards years, his efficiency dropped massively, he was IN the deadball era just like Kobe and suffering and playing with massive injuries both seasons. So if Kobe had "his reasons" for lower efficiency, so did MJ -- just even on low efficiency and with injuries, MJs efficiency was still higher even from his first season in the league. MJs rookie season was almost as high as Kobe's MVP season, even with excuses.
Dennis Rodman was a BEAST on defense. I believe he was the physically strongest player in that era. Even Shaq had trouble posting up against him.

Top three, no doubt.

in my OPINION the best bulls title teams were #1 1991 #2 1996 #3 TIED 1993 and 1997 #4 1998 and #5 1992
Jordan took with what he had and turned them into great players they didn't need to make a super team that's something LeBron can't do
Still no. Watched them in real time. They had lots of holes but MJ, Pippen and Rodman were able to fill it.

@@egrassa1480 also comparing him to LeBron doesn't impress me. He's not that great of a shooter.
