All this said, I think the 90s Bulls would get KILLED by any 80s champion. Seriously, would they have a chance against Magic's Lakers or Larry's Celtics? No.

[/ QUOTE ] Bulls 96-98 should beat most of these teams, or at the very least, all series would go to 7.

I think I agree. I at least disagree that they would get killed. They would be tough series.

I think Assani has a point about athleticism in general. However, Broussard of ESPN made that argument that athletics is why the US should always win world competitions, because we have the best athletes. That should make up for the small skill differential. We saw how that goes.

I also think the 80s Lakers squad was pretty damn athletic. 80s Celtics... not so much. Yet they still pulled out 3 titles and fought tough series vs. the Lakers. They could probably do the same with the Bulls, as long as they're playing under 80s reffing standards (otherwise a ton of people get ejected when McHale clothelines somebody). It'd be an entertaining series, that's for sure.


PS: Assani, your J-Will argument as an edge for Miami is really, really funny. Sure, he's a better "pure point" than any Bulls player, but he's not even that great. Like TSC said, the bulls didn't need a point. They had MJ and Pippen. They just needed a guy to hit open jump shots/3s (Paxson, Armstrong, Kerr), or a solid player who played great D (Harper). Its not even close.

We're also forgetting Kukoc, who was better in his prime than any non-Wade, non-Shaq player on the Heat.

I'm a big time JWill fan, so maybe I'm biased....

but hes developed into a damn good PG. When he first came into the league, he had a ton of talent(#7 overall pick remember) but he was wild. Hes totally mellowed down, and even led the league in assist to turnover ratio for a year or two. Hes a veteran, makes good decisions, can knock down the open shot, and has great court vision. Offensively he is everything you could ever want out of a PG imo.
