Arguable one of the greatest upsets in nba history. That 48 wins Lakers showed plenty of heart.

Payton\Kemp Sonics seemed like huge chokers. They were #1 SRS in 1995 and lost easily in the 1st round lol and of course they also have the loss to the 8th seed Nuggets in the 1st round the year prior.

Sonics were stacked with 3 all-nba players
Schrempf shot 51% from three and was better than Pippen, especially in this era

And that was the Bulls toughest opponent in their 2nd 3 peat alongside the 1998 Indiana Pacers.

You are still obsessed and stupid. What was the Lebron's toughest opponent in the Eastern Conference from 2011 to 2018? Oh yeah the 73 wins Warriors almost lost to 55 wins Thunder in 2016, they played like a 56 wins team at best.
:lol

You are the one who's stupid. You Fat Piece of $hit. Any of LeBron's 4 championship team would dismantle, humiliate, and destroy any of Jordan's championship teams in the 1990's.

Losing badly in 1995 means they cant be a great team in 1996?

You are drunk lol, you may keep living in delusion. At the end of the day, Lebron went 4/10 in the NBA Finals, he aint going to beat MJ's Bulls who went 6/6. Remember Lebron did not only lose 1-2 finals series, he lost 6. Hes the runaway winner of runner-ups for any players who have won at least 1 MVP award, theres a very good reason. Studies have shown that Lebron's teams usually underperforms in the finals, with a sample size of 10 finals series there aint much to be said about Lebron being a perennial underperformer in the finals. Lebron is domaint only in conference playoffs, while MJ is dominant in the entire playoffs including the finals.
That team was overrated.
The 1996 Supersonics were not overrated, they were actually underrated. They could easily beat the 2018 Warriors in a best of seven series, and of course would've swept Lebron's 2018 Cavs too. If this Supersonics team were to play against Lebron's Cavs, we would be hearing endless nonsense from lebronstans, something like 'theres no way MJ could beat the Seattle superteam'.

Oh my, you have just lost the argument so you are mad, poor you.
But anyway, the level of competitions were similar for MJ's Bulls and Lebron's Heat/Cavs(with the only exception of 2017 Warriors which was a historical team like 1996 Bulls). The difference is, MJ managed to beat the tough oppositions and made them look weak, while Lebron usually lost to his opponents so they suddenly looked like invincible superteams.

Bull $Hit. The Warriors would destroy the Sonics, Jazz and Pacers in a best of 7 series. How many points did they averaged? 80-82 ppg.

It was a different era, defense was a thing in the 90s and 00s unlike this weak era. Speaking of high ppg, have you heard of the Enver Nuggers in the 1980s?
It seems you just have very poor basketball IQ and knowledge that you rank how good a team is by the raw ppg stats, what a joke. No wonder why people in your country suck at basketball.

NBA players today are much better 3 points shooters. And they attempted several 3 pointers compared to the 1990's in which they attempted under 8 3 pointers per game.

Schrempf's 95' season = prime Pippen except with better spacing

Except players in the 90s had great perimeter defense and they were more than capable of shutting down open shooters in today's era, do you even remember how the Cavs won game 7 against Warriors in 2016? Yes they shut down Steph and Klay, and the Bulls were even much better at defense.
