2004 pistons> 1996 bulls on defense

[Fallen Angel]

I don't want to debate with you main forumers.

Bulls were the best team on offense and on defense in 1996 which shows utter domination on both sides of the floor.

Pistons were the 2nd best team on defense and 18th in the league on offense AND 24th in the league in pace in 2004 which shows an easier route to those low opponent point totals.

Michael Jordan- better wing defender than any wing defender on the Pistons
Scottie Pippen- better wing defender than any wing defender on the Pistons
Dennis Rodman- better multi-positional defender than any multi-positional defender on the Pistons

I'm done with you idiots. Go back talking about Lebron and Kobe.
