2016 Cleveland Cavaliers vs 1996 Chicago Bulls

[Lebron23]

I got the 2016 Cavaliers in 6. They were just a superior perimeter shooting team. Lebron and Kyrie were both better than Jordan in the nba finals. And lebron defeated a 73 wins team plus the reigning undisputed mvp.

[NBAGOAT]

the cavs are good but a similar maybe better version in the 17 cavs got blown out by the warriors. they dont belong in any comparison with a goat lvl team

[Gohan]

Lebron fans are delusional

The 1996 bulls are not a goat level team. 1991-1993 bulls were the superior bulls team. Even jerry sloan admitted that the competitions were diluted that's why they advanced in the nba finals after the rockets declined.

Competition may be diluted but they made up for it by being more dominant than the 1st 3peat teams. It’s not really a debate that the 96 bulls are in the top 2 of the 6 bulls title teams

I know...you play mental gymnastics instead

[Manny98]

The Bulls struggled against a Sonics team that I think the Cavs would handily beat

I reckon it would go 7 games and if we're going by todays rules I would lean towards the Cavs because they have more firepower

Bulls lack spacing which would get exposed in today's NBA but their defense would keep the series competitive

And the 2017 Warriors added Kevin Durant. Jordan never beat two mvp levels player who's playes for the same team. And the 2012 okc thunder were better than the 1996 sonics

[kawhileonard2]

It took the Cavs team 6 to beat Toronto that year. And they won in the finals because of a suspension. Orlando or the Knicks that year would have smoked the 2016 Cavs. Lebron can't beat elite centers in the playoffs. Always has failed. Dwight Howard.

He's beating one right now :confusedshrug:

[kawhileonard2]

He's beating one right now :confusedshrug:

Because he has two elite ones on his squad in AD and Dwight.

17 Warriors would destroy the Bulls

[Gohan]

If Jokic, who can’t play defense, is the elite center you’ve faced then you’re playing weak competition. Clippers was trash which was shown in the Dallas series. Luka showed that

Can you imagine the look on MJ's face in a modern era game facing hard doubles and no longer being guarded by John Starks, Reggie Miller, and Jeff Hornacek on an island :lol

To think that MJ wouldn't adapt to the modern game confirms the low iq poster that you are tbh

Was Bleacher Report having a hard time finding MJ's rivalry or was this it?

[Whoah10115]

The 2016 Cavs can't beat the 2016 Warriors.

Along with the amazing performance by Lebanon, there was a shocking choke, a terrible suspension and a super unfortunate season-ending injury.

There is no Bulls team that doesn't beat up any team LeBron has played for.

The freaking 96 Bulls, come on.

[NBAGOAT]

And the 2017 Warriors added Kevin Durant. Jordan never beat two mvp levels player who's playes for the same team. And the 2012 okc thunder were better than the 1996 sonics

doesnt matter who jordan has beat or not, the cavs basically got stomped. The bulls are also considered a goat level team by most people. Unless you want to argue those warriors beat any team in history in 5 games which most people including mewill disagree with, the bulls are clearly better and it's not a debate really.

the 12 okc thunder vs 96 sonics is a stupid pointless deflection but expected from you. lebron's a different player in 12 compared to 16 and his team is completely different

This, people don't understand how MJ would get doubled like crazy & the Bulls have awful spacing with Longley & Rodman so they would be pretty easy to defend

The 96 Bulls are simply not engineered to go up against today's top teams

4-1 and 4-0.....leroid handing direct opponent fmvp TWICE...as well as 22 yo kawhi.

LeBron stans are all about 'what ifs'...its all they have

Yeah jordan wouldnt know how to deal with double or triple team right? Lol

The problem is the Bulls have Longley & Rodman who the other team isn't even going to bother defend

If MJ had 3 point shooters to kick it out to it would be a different story but the Bulls lack of floor spacing and lack of offensive weapons outside of Jordan would be the Bulls downfall in this series

[Lebron23]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSDvl_RS6V4 In Nba2k and in real life the 2016 Cavaliers would beat the 1996 Chicago Bulls. I can see LeBron blocking several of Jordan's reverse layup. Jordan struggled against 6'2" Gary Payton. Bulls lack of 3 points shooting is going to be their downfall.

Cavs in 6

I think Dennis Rodman would have locked his ass up. Yeah i was talking about lebrick.

[WhiteKyrie]

1996 Bulls have a prime and slightly superior Andre Iguodala in Scottie Pippen to worry strictly about LeBron. And he’s superior offensively, particularly in transition and in todays league there is lots of pace and space.

And I’d actually put Rodman on him to frustrate him enough too, since he doesn’t bring anything offensively.

Who is guarding Mike? Kyrie? Shumpert? JR? :oldlol:

You’ve got 6’6 MJ and Rodman, even better on ball defenders than Klay to rotate on Kyrie.

1996 Bulls in today’s league:

Starting lineup of

C - Kukoc
PF - Rodman
SF - Pippen
SG - MJ
PG - Harper

Bulls in 6.

In 90’s physicality rules? :roll: Bulls in 5 at most. The physicality would destroy most of that Cleveland roster.

[Lebron23]

Cavaliers in 5 or 6. the Chicago Bulls lacked of 3 points shooting would be their downfall

[E_Stamkos]

Bulls 4
