Um...the 90's Bulls were a super team people

[aceman]

Dennis Rodman was a 'superstar'? Beast rebounder and great all around defensive player, but in order to qualify as a 'superstar' you need to be able to put up more than 6 PPG in at least one season

why??

[aceman]

No one said they'd be the Bobcats, but honestly they wouldn't be anything *that* special either.

1994 proved the bulls were still among the best teams in the nba even without jordan

[Blue&Orange]

Pippen was the 5th pick in the draft, an MVP caliber player in 94. Rodman was a multiple DPOY/rebounding champ without Jordan. The Bulls had the 3 superstar template.

Pippen is on record saying that he was the player he was because Jordan push him to be, he went to the Bulls traded for Olden Polynice, that's right Olden Polynice, and Rodman went to the bulls because no one else wanted him, he was a 34 year old nuisance.

Are people really comparing a rookie traded for Olden Polynice and a 34 year old league reject with proven superstars in their prime???



Jordan never refused to play for the team he was drafted so that he could go to a team that guaranteed him more rings.

Jordan never team up with anybody.

Jordan was never gifted superstars by other team GM's, when those GM's had better deals on the table.


Lebron and Kobe can't say the same. Lebron & Kobe career ring chasers and chokers.

This I disagree with. It's not Kobe's fault the Lakers is a great franchise
to play for. Lebron on the other hand.... not 1 not 2 not 3....

Kobe career ring chasers

Kobe's played for the same team for 16 ****ing years!

The Bulls were a super team in the sense that the Thunder are a super team, not Miami, Lakers or Knicks. The Bulls nailed a large percentage of their picks, absolutely nailed them. Did some of that come from having the most competitive athlete of all time pushing them harder than anyone else ever had? Absolutely. But Micheal Jordan didn't "make" any player, he simply refused to allow them to give less than 100%.

This. A thousand times over.

Here's what Steve Kerr said about why the Bulls won 72 games

"There was so much pressure on Michael," said Kerr when I grilled him about the fight. "There were all these articles in the papers reminding Michael that he didn't play well in the playoffs last season, wondering if he could return to what he was. There was pressure from the outside, pressure he put on himself." Jordan's teammates could feel that pressure the way animals can sense an approaching tornado. "He came into camp like a man possessed," Kerr continued. "Every practice, every shooting drill, everything was just a huge competition. He was so competitive that it just set the tone for our season. We all had to be that competitive every day."

He was the leader no doubt about that.

96 team was the best NBA non all-star, non-olympic team ever assembled. They had no matchups problems and were a matchup nightmare for every team in the league.

You had 4 players who would all essentially guard 3 if not 4 positions, and the worm who could literally guard all 5.
