I say at least 2 nba titles. The Bulls lack of 3 points shooting is going to be their downfall.

The 1990's Bulls would steamroll most teams in Nba history outside of the 2017 Warriors 2001 Lakers and 1967 Sixers and also the 1986 Celtics a and if Dirk beat Lebron in 2011 with only a team of role players backing him up then I have no doubt that Jordan and Pippen would win the title that year over Miami and Dallas.
And also in 2012 with bosh injured the Bulls would win that series against Miami in 5 or 6 games and then beat a young Okc team in the finals to go back to back and finally as for 2013 with Wade dealing with knee issues in the playoffs that year I have the Bulls getting past them again in the east and then beating the Spurs to capture a rare three-peat.
As for the second three-peat Bulls squad I have them winning the title in 2015 and 2016 before the Warriors with Durant arrive and start kicking the crap out of everybody.
So Jordan wins 5 titles from 2011 to 2016 with a chance at more if he never retires after the 2012-2013 season ends.

2001 Lakers
What? Why do people think that they are so great? Most overrated team I have ever seen.

They went 15 and 1 in the playoffs and swept 3 straight 50 win teams to move on to the finals before they then crushed another 50 win team in the 76ers in the finals to go back to back.
They faced 4 50 win teams that entire playoff run and only lost one game that is pure dominance and you also had Shaq at his peak along with Kobe who had taken a massive leap from the year prior.
So they are not the most overrated team ever as every single stat we have suggested that this team's playoff run that year was legendary.

Same as they did back then. I don't think any team except maybe the 2017 Warriors would be favored to beat them in a playoff series.

He'd probably retire to play baseball midway through the decade in order to duck the Warriors

Is this a thread to justify the so called GOAT getting his pants pulled down so many times during this era?
At his peak too hahahahhaha
Really brings perspective...the self proclaimed goat couldn't even dominate in his own peak era EVEN with multiple collusions
Jesus christ hahahahah

If 2010 was 1991....
2010, 2011, 2012
-sudden retirement-
Comes back midway through 2014(wins this), 2015, 2016
Retires again.
Comes back in 2020. Plays again in 20201, retires.
Becomes the GOAT all over again.

No reason why they wouldnt win the same as back then because the main weakness of those Bulls are defending bigs especially at the center spot which is negated by arguably having the best perimeter defense in history anchored by Jordan, Pippen, Grant/Rodman and Harper for the 2nd 3peat.
Dealing with players at their natural positions would be easier compared to having to rely on team/help defense a ton while goat level bigs are being defended by luc longley lol

MJ would retire twice in that time span

It's a weird topic though. If they were in this generation they'd obviously adapt and get some more 3 point shooting. I love how guys think if players from now played in the 80's or 90's they'd still shoot 10 threes a game. They'd be shooting the same amount as everyone else did back then.

I'd say they win anywhere from 2-4. Everyone just wants to think MJ would win every series all the time..but the BULLS would not steamroll the 10s like they did 90's, especially with free agency and player contracts being drastically different. There is a good chance Pippen himself would leave the Bulls before the decade ended (kind of like Kyrie leaving Lebron). Superteams would still exist (unlike the 90's), also MJ's/Scottie's positional competition would be so much better in the 10's.
MJ would still be the best player ultimately.

Not really, just look at some of Chicago's years in 3 point shooting.
1990: 37% (3rd)
1991: 37% (3rd)
1993: 37% (2nd)
1994: 35% (4th)
1995: 37% (8th)
1996: 40% (3rd)
1997: 37% (6th)
Craig Hodges was the original 3 point specialist. Guys like Kerr and BJ led the league in 3 point shooting multiple years. Then there are other shooters like MJ, Kukoc, Paxson, etc.

But how many 3s did they average per game during those times?

Chicago's team was basically designed for this era's style of play. Heavily built upon wing players and smaller lineups, with great three point shooting. Chicago was usually a top 5 three point shooting team and with volume, guys like MJ shot better from deep.
They would matchup much better against teams like the Warriors and Cavs. The only team that gives them trouble is the 2017 Warriors.

The entire league didn't attempt as many threes. But so what? Guys like MJ shot better with higher volume from deep, and guys like Paxson, Kerr, Armstrong, and Hodges were marksmen.
Why is there an assumption that if you have players from then in this era, that they wouldn't a) shoot as many threes, b) wouldn't develop their three point shooting, and c) wouldn't shoot a higher percentage?
These are NBA players, and the guys we're talking about aren't Luc Longley or Jack Haley. Didn't players from the pre-2014 era also develop their three point shooting? Why would guys from the 80s-90s be any different?

Right but the miami heat who's one of the weakest finals teams ever just took bron and davis to 6 with injuries.
Living in denial must be wonderful :facepalm

Do you think cp3 and hayward would be able to win a ring in that 'weak' era?
