1996 Chicago Bulls

[aj1987]

Is it the only team in history with 3 All-Defensive first team and 2 All-NBA first team players, the COY, and the 6th MOY?

[Angel Face]

Easily the greatest team of all time.

[Real14]

Easily the greatest team of all time.

I agree

[3ball]

The amazing thing about MJ was that he 3-peated from 1991-1993 without ANY of those things - no COY, no 6th man of year, and no other 1st-team All-NBA'ers in any of the 3 seasons.

Heck, Scottie Pippen wasn't even an All-Star in 1991 - this makes the 1991 Bulls one of the only teams EVER to win a ring with only 1 All-Star (MJ).. This is why MJ's playoff and Finals production had to be GOAT for him to win.

As for 1996, despite playing 4 on 5 offensively with Rodman's 3 PPG, the Bulls registered a 115.2 ORtg, which is the best of all time.. This was only possible because MJ's off-ball style didn't hinder his teammates production - when MJ came back for a full season in 1996, he literally just added his GOAT production on top of what was already there, without diminishing it at all... This is why he was able to turn an ordinary 2nd round exit team into the greatest team of all time - that's what happens when you add league-leading scoring right on top without diminishing anything that was already there.

It was imperative that the production of MJ's teammates REMAINED at a maximum level when MJ's 32 PPG got thrown back into the mix, because by ensuring his teammates' production stays at capacity, he ensured the TEAM'S production was at capacity, which prevents any possibility of underachievement - this is why MJ's team's never underperformed - his teams were always at maximum capacity because his style didn't hinder anyone...

Compare that to today's ball-dominators who are EXPECTED to diminish the production of teammates - no wonder their teams underachieve...

God you're a ****ing cnut. The fact that Pippen was an all star in the 90 season, but better in 91 doesn't register with you does it? Scottie averaged 21.6ppg 8.9rpg 5.8apg 2.5spg 1.1bpg .504%fg while playing some of the best defense in the league in the 91 playoffs you dipshit. It was by far his best post season...but...but...he wasn't on the silly all star team. A "first option star" could only wish for production like that from his 2nd, you ****ing joke, you.

[3ball]

The 1991 Bulls are STILL one of the only teams to ever win a ring with only 1 All-Star - period - this is a fact.

As for 1990, Pippen didn't deserve it - he only averaged 16.5 PPG and he admitted he choked in the 1990 ECF and cost his team a trip to the Finals:

Scottie Pippen: "Maybe it was the pressure of the game. As the pressure grew, the pounding grew.. I wasn't myself out on the basketball court. I wasn't able to answer the bell."

Bill Laimbeer: "We didn't even think about Scottie Pippen. It was Michael Jordan and the Jordannaires - and you can't win championships like that with only 1 player."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqC74bv46Z8&t=1h07m33s


But none of this matters - the FACT is that the 1991 Bulls are one of the only teams in history to win the championship with only 1 all-star.

Again, OP pointed out that the 1996 Bulls had the Coach of the Year, 6th Man of Year, and 1st Team All-NBA'er in Pippen.

But from 1991-1993, MJ three-peated without ANY of those things - no Coach of the Year, no 6th Man of Year, no 1st-Team All-NBA'ers, and yes, no all-stars in 1991 - the 1991 Bulls are one of the only teams in history to win the championship with only 1 all-star (MJ).

How did Jordan do this?.. He put up the greatest playoff and Finals stats of all time.

Instead of re-editing your little post 40 times, why don't you respond to my ENTIRE entry?

Edit: I see you deleted all of this to make completely new post...lmfao. You are a such a joke...but we already knew that. They can see the original here with a couple edit additions before you swept it aside, I suppose.

[TheMarkMadsen]

the most stacked team of all time without question

Don't know if that was intended, but you just made 3ball's brain pop.

And it didn't take collusion to do it.

Obviously, teams can't win 1 on 5 - but as the previous post shows, MJ won his championships more by himself than any other player in history..

3ball stop being an insecure bitch we are talking about the 96 Bulls not the 91-93 bulls.. stop feeling the need to bring those teams up because your're scared to acknowledge the fact that the 96 bulls were the most stacked team of all time, either them or the 86 Celtics

[sdot_thadon]

So you think this is true? More so than Hakeem in 94?

[TheMarkMadsen]

Easily the greatest team of all time.

greatest regular season team of all time

best playoff team of all time = 01 Lakers


a 2 man team compared to the 96 bulls who had more than half of their starting line up on some type of all nba team and a 6 MOTY compared to the weak ass bench the 01 Lakers had..

hell Kobe and Shaq won with Horace Grant as their starting PF averaging 6/6

[3ball]

Scottie averaged 21.6ppg 8.9rpg 5.8apg 2.5spg 1.1bpg .504%fg while playing some of the best defense in the league in the 91 playoffs you dipshit. ****ing joke, you.

21.6 PPG is solid for a #2, but not beating the world, and like you said, that was his BEST EVER playoffs.. Horace got 13 PPGin 1991 playoffs as the #3... That's not much at all.

That's why MJ still had to put up GOAT numbers in 1991 playoffs: 31.1ppg, 6.4rpg, 8.4apg, 2.4spg, 1.4bpg, 52.6% FG

So 50% more points, 35% more assists, 30% more blocks, 25% less TO's (2.5 to Pippen's 3.2)

Show me ANY player who had better numbers on their way to winning the championship... I'll wait.
