How would the 72-10 Chicago Bulls stack up against

Mid 80s Celtics

Mid 80s Lakers

82-83 76ers

And just for fun

00’s Lakers

I’m asking because I was watching this video when Dr J, Larry, and Magic were saying the 90s NBA was watered down because of the expansion teams and MJ didnt have a real rival.

the nba was watered down in the 90’s, they added 6 teams in like 7 years and both vancouver and toronto were first year clubs the season the bulls won 72. But the bulls could defend as well as any team on the perimiter i have ever seen and they had prime jordan to finish games. The big question would be playing a stacked team with a dominant center like 80’s kareem or 2000’s shaq. Who ever really knows, the bulls teams were amazing and could beat anybody it would be fun to watch but entirely unanswerable.

 The 95-96 Bulls would have held up.  The NBA as a whole, perhaps, but the Bulls by themselves were not watered down by expansion.  3 guys on the all-defensive team, 6th man of the year, MVP, rebounding champ, #2 in 3 point percentage and coach of the year all on one squad was just insane.  In a 7 game series with all of those squad I don’t think they’d pull the sweep, but they’d all be great series and the 95-96 Bulls would grab more than one.

95-96 Bulls > Anyone.  They didn’t go 72-10 and beat a STACKED Sonics team by accident.

sonics team were good but stacked? ervin johnson was the starting center and that was the one position where the bulls were vulnerable.

Agreed its pretty much un answerable but i think they would do well. They had three allstar talents as well as a good defender at center and player soff the bench who could play.

yes there were few stacked teams but…the bulls had jordan. who was head over heels better than both magic, bird, dr. j, isiah and anyone else on any of those teams.  and lets be honest, there were only a few good teams in the mid 80’s just like there were in the 90’s. i mean, the bucks won 57 games in 85-86 and that team was nothing special. people overlook teams like the stockton and malone jazz, and the 90’s rockets. i dunno maybe im bias because i grew up in the 90’s but it seems to me like there were only 2 or 3 good teams in the 80’s too.

Idk those Stockton and Malone teams were pretty good.

[The lake show2]

Yeah it was a tad watered down in the 90’s not as many good overall teams. You had team in the 80’s who lost who people taleked about as some of the best teams ever. Not so much in the 90’s

 I just watched game 6 of the NBA finals a few days ago and that team was awesome.  Payton, Kemp, and Schrempf were complete studs.  That game was pure basketball.
