Can we stop overrating the 96 Bulls

[G-train]

Not really. Once again, no context.

What context do you want?

Meltdown

Your asking a LeBron* fan... don't waste your time.

What context do you want?

Difficulty of opponents, schedule, other teams in the league, title run, etc.

All of a sudden, as soon as GSW broke 72 wins, it became about how they do in the playoffs...
Then there are teams with better playoff runs, so it is then about total record...

The 2000 Lakers played in one of the toughest WC ever. They, and the 16-1 Lakers the next season have a good claim. As do the 67 Sixers. As do a few other Laker teams. As do a few Celtics teams.

honestly the 70's to the 90's is the most overrated era of any sports including basketball. Go take a look at any video and just see how skinny and unathletic most of the players are. Sure you get the occasional roid junkie but in this day and age everyone is in top level conditioning.

Its pretty safe to say that Kobe, Curry AND Lebron are all far better players than the likes of Jordan, Magic, Bird, Wilt etc.

The game has evolved, it used to just a slightly more intense version of pickup ball. These days the game is rigorously scientific and specialized in its approach. Not a single player from the nineties could cut it.

Please stop, homie. You are embarrassing your self.

possibly, I've heard Bulls fans argue 92 over 96.

Yet you did, and brought up that post as if I was serious.

Even your insults suck... Go back on your main and give this alt account up.

Jordan played in the 2000s you ignoramus

I think he's being sarcastic.

72-10 plus the championship = GOAT team

Oh god, please don't let this be the next 6/6
