Only 2peat he ever achieved is constantly losing in the final

You don't get it. It's not about records. The talent level of the entire era was weak due to the league expanding from 23 teams to 30 teams from 1988 to 2004.

Fun fact: The 2007 Spurs and the 2018 Warriors were dynasties while the 96 Sonics and 98 Jazz were not.

If the whole league is weaker then team records are irrelevant. If you put Lebron up against an undefeated g- league team would you hype him when he won?

[AussieSteve]

The point about the mid-late 90s is that Pippen was better than most teams' best player and every teams 2nd best player.

Also the NBA had diluted the same talent pool of the 80s into 25% more teams by the mid 90s. So a quarter of every teams' rotation had a couple guys who wouldn't have made the league a few years earlier.

Relative to the Bulls, the rest of the league was week.

The influx of international players in the last 20 years has since undiluted the talent pool.

He lost twice in the Olympics and FIBA and got bronze medal and even lost to Carlos Arroyo when he had peak Duncan on his squad. It wasn't until Kobe joined that he won.
