Re: 1996 Chicago Bulls vs 2001 Los Angeles Lakers
LA couldn't even beat Portland properly, on the other hand that Chicago team doesn't have anything atleast to slow down Shaq.

Lakers in 6.
01 Shaq>96 MJ
01 Kobe>>>96 Pippen
The bulls probably have the advantage in the majority of the rest of the matchups but they dont have any answer for Shaq, while LA had one of, if not, the the best perimeter defender in the league.

Re: 1996 Chicago Bulls vs 2001 Los Angeles Lakers
There was a pretty good article by Sam Smith about how to beat the 96 Bulls. Long as **** but a good read.
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/m...e_skin;content
cliffs: Need size and quickness, two weaknesses of that team.
I know back in 1996, the only two teams given a chance to beat the Bulls were the 1996 Rockets and Magic.
The Bulls swept the Magic but they had a few injuries (Grant was out after game 1 and Anderson got injured midway).
IIRC, the Bulls played a lot of full court pressure defense to force turnovers since Anderson and Scott couldn't handle the ball.
Pippen took Penny and slowed him down and they let Shaq get his but had enough bodies to throw at him.
The 2001 Lakers are kind of similar to that Magic team but obviously have superior coaching, schemes and players.
Hard to say, you can't judge the 2001 Lakers by their season record. But the Bulls are the Bulls at the same time.

Also Jordan bulls ran the triangle perfectly than the lakers have ever been able to..

Like hell they do. Scottie pippen was every bit as dominant as kobe bryant. And id still take jordan over shaq. Just be glad shaq never had to go against any good centers during the lakers championship run. Otherwise, they probably have no rings.
