72 win BULLS team wouldn't make playoffs this year

[TAZORAC]

72 Chicago Bulls were lead by Jordan, Pippen and Kukoc. If that roster were in the NBA today they wouldn't even make the playoffs.

1 of the biggest reasons is they couldn't find enough scoring or shooting. Teams of previous era's were NOTORIOUS for only being 5-6 deep. Most teams from back then only had about 3-4 players on their team who could really make an impact in todays game. Rodman's 20 rebounds don't mean anything when you are facing teams hitting 20 three pointers.

Jordan would be like an upgraded Zach Lavine and average about 30 a game, and the Bulls would be horrible. Pippen although a good player has never been a scorer, and Kukoc is nothing but a spot up shooter.


There's teams who won championships in the past who would be lottery teams, like the Detroit Pistons of 1989..where would their scoring come from? 1989 Pistons didn't have a player on their team who could average 20 a game as a main option aside from Dumars and Thomas.

Yes, Jordan didn't stack his teams...he didn't need to.

Real men played ball and didn't collude

"I need help,” Jordan told Krause. Krause explained the Bulls had salary cap problems, which Jordan neither understood nor cared to hear about. So he made some decisions. One was that he would have to do just that much more himself. And to do that, he couldn’t have Cartwright fouling things up, especially late in the game."

If you're gonna troll, at least be funny. This shit isn't even remotely clever or amusing, it's just lame and uninteresting, like all of OP's other threads

[insight]

Your right, this years Utah Jazz team with the best record in the league would destroy a Stockton , Malone led Utah team. You have mentally tougher teams like the Miami Heat and NY Knicks now, soft teams from 96 l Seattle Supersonics with Garry Payton and Detlif Shchremp would get run out the gym.

[kawhileonard2]

This years Jazz in the 90’s would be picking 1st in the draft in the 90’s

It was sarcasm! Jimmy Butler didn't even play in the biggest game of the season for the 5th seed. Noel Nerlens vs Shawn Kemp or RJ Barrett vs Gary Peyton, I wouldn't be surprised if I saw someone cry on national tv.

I lick my lips whenever someone uses the 90s Bulls on 2k because I know it's going to be the easiest game ever

All you have to do is run a 2-3 zone and double the shit out of Jordan

The lack of shooting on the old school teams make them easy asf to defend

He kinda has a point tho

They would have won of the worst offenses in today's NBA

you mentioned detlef schrempf so i wasn't sure. last year, though, jimmy had a playoff run on the level of any of drexler's. and a finals better than any of drexler's. who cares about a one-off, regular-season game.

I like Jimmy Butler, he is a good player, but he is not a great player. Consistency matters, there are tons of players who had one or two really good years like Penny Hardaway, Derrick Rose, Joe Johnson but they are not considered top 50 players of all time because they didn't do it long enough.
The bubble was an anomaly, I still remember Jimmy was a 3rd or 4th option on a talented team like the 76rs team a few years ago. If Miami goes on another deep run this year, I will admit Jimmy is much closer to Drexler than I thought.

That quote actually shows how much of an alpha he was, while LeBron goes begging to Kawhi to team up after already having AD, MJ decided he was gonna have to do more...GOAT doing GOAT shit :applause:

Yep...Jordan didn't have much around him, you're right.

A true GOAT to 3peat twice with those pieces.

Does the Jazz have a player like Malone? NO, but guess what? They don't need one. When Joe Ingles, Mitchell, Clarkson and Bogdanovic are firing 3 pointers over his head. It doesn't matter.

[TAZORAC]

Most of you losers on this website, lack common sense and general intelligence. That past the ball in the post and let your center work stuff doesn't work anymore.

3 pointers are more then 2 points.

The 72 win Bulls team, would have the worse ****ing offense in the NBA, probably only better then Minnesota and Houston. Aside from Jordan, nobody on that team was a consistent scorer.

96 Supersonics would get ran out of the gym..Detlif Schhremp is no better then Bogdanovic

You're high on drugs.

[HoopsNY]

The '96 Bulls would have demolished today's league. They were 3rd in 3 point shooting that season (40%). Take away 2% to adjust for the shortened three point line and Chicago is still shooting at a 38% clip.

Not to mention, they had enough shooters like Jordan, Kerr, Pippen, Kukoc, and Buechler who could knock it down from outside. Wennington had a mid-range game, and any team that has MJ+peak Pippen on it will dominate. Pippen provides length, versatility, and playmaking that suits today's game.

One thing the '96 Bulls have that most other great all-time teams don't is the ability to have versatility defensively. Rodman was legitimately great at guarding all 5 positions. The Bulls mastered small ball before it even became a thing and coupled it with the three quarter court press.

Chicago wins 70 games and a chip in this era, easily.

[RogueBorg]

Can't be proven, irrelevant thread.

I said mentally tougher than the Seattle Supersonics, Detlif was a role player but he was tough and hard nosed. Do you really think Seattle would get ran out the gym with Shawn Kemp dominating like Giannis and Gary Peyton "The Glove" playing real defense.

I always sub out Longley for Kukoc and slide Rodman to the 5. Kerr in for Harp and it's easy money all day plaire.

Reported.

[theman93]

2021 League Avg 3 pt%: 36.7

1996 Bulls 3 pt%: 40.3

This doesn't even get in to the defensive side of the ball, to which the 96 Bulls had 3 First Team All-Defense players to go along with Harper. They would far and away have the best defense in the league, especially on the perimeter, which the game is primarily played now.

OP is an idiot.
