Why did the bulls still win 55 games without jordan?

Why is Jordan/Bulls always on your mind bro?

To answer your thread question, it's because the team still functioned at a high level without their best player, much like the Spurs, the current Bulls and to some extent the Heat. Players like Kukoc, Horace Grant and BJ Armstrong were still on the team with Grant and BJ awarded their first allstar appearances that year, so they had little to no chemistry issues and were able to step up and play well led by Pippen with a very good supporting cast around him.

why did lebronna didnt win any rings without wade?

[97 bulls]

What if - and this is just a what if, purely hypothetical question - but what if the greatest player of all time also happened to play for a great team?

This^^^^^^

Why can't the remaining players just get credit for how that season turned out. The Coaches as well.

The fact that they won 55 games before bowing out to the eventual Eastern Conference Champs in seven hard fought games, then they (the Knicks) lost in Seven to the eventual Champs, lends more credibility to the Bulls winning 72 games and being the greatest ever and

they won 72 with him

Turning a 16 win team into a 32 win team isn't that tough if you're a good player.

Turning a 55 win team into a 72 win team is goddamn unheard of.

Bulls was a great team without jordan, and jordan is still the GOAT
for discussion

Because Pippen is an all time great player which defenses hadn't ever had to really game plan for before this. By the next season other teams had figured it out and the Bulls struggled

Pippen was in the league for a long time already. This wasn't Linsanity. Trust me, teams had a read on him. He gets severely underrated by anyone that isn't a Jordan hater.

It's actually NEVER happened

its a well known fact among knowledgeable basketball fanatics that Jordan while being a great player was also carried by a fantastic team that covered up most of his flaws.
He`s still the 4th best player ever so i dont know what OP is trying to tell us

Generally when you have 3 All-Stars and a lot of battle tested players on your team you'll put up a pretty good record. Were it not for that phantom foul call on Pippen in Game 5 of the ECSF against the Knicks, who knows how far the Bulls could've went that year.

[jstern]

Can someone list the roster from that Bulls team and the one from the previous year. And if possible the one from the following year. I'm curious to also see why they were doing bad the following year.
