Which Chicago Bulls team is better?! 1993 (champs) or 1996 [in-season record 28-3 @ time of feature]
When the 28 and3 Chicago Bulls lured Dennis Rodman and his hair away from San Antonio people said if the four-time defending rebounding champ keeps his sneakers on then the Bulls would only be lacking a big man with allo apologies to Bill Winnington and Luke Longley Chicago still does not have aen Center instead
They have the game’s best rebounder best player ever best current all-around player and best Croatian player Gary Miller puts this bull team up against the title winning Bulls they won their first title in 19 1991 became repeatables in ’92 and got the hatrick in 93 now after matching in
Historic start with only Scotty Pippen and Michael jwan remaining from those Championship days could this 9596 Bulls team be learning how to fly again to compare this team to the teams of five years ago team five years ago won a championship that was the outcome of the season this team hadn’t done anything
Hasn’t yet but wouldn’t it be interesting to compare the Roar of Grand Old Chicago Stadium versus the modern United Center how about Phil Jackson without a beard versus Phil with beard and now the players hor he started the power for with Horus gr Dennis Horus was more of a he could
Be more of an offensive player Dennis obviously is in his offensive mind and he terrific rebound he gives us so many second chances I think Dennis his uh defensive abilities manto man are nonparallel in this game of course is’s a good team defensive player and a shot
Blocker but maybe not as good a one-on-one individual defensive player rebinding wise there’s no one that compares to den I fed off Michael Michael and Scotty you how they created on the floor I tried to find open spots one of the reasons I came to Chicago is because I
Saw how well John fitt in with the system and I felt that I was a similar player the only difference is know he’s hadit game-winning shots in championship games and and he’s got three rings on his fingers Bill C in the middle Luke and and Bill cartright were totally
Different players Bill cartright who could hold down the middle of the floor prevent any easy baskets make teams take the tougher shot Bill had a respect around the league from players and officials and he played so determined in the post that that he was very effective
For us uh and Luke right now at the stage of his career doesn’t get that type of respect M will I leave the league in stor I don’t know can I if I want to you can never compare how know AG today compared to where he was before he left but he’s a
Two three years different he lose something actually as age you know they not be jumping as high he has the put work getting 10 points finding some easy way to SC I think he’s more confident I think everyone can see that you can see where in the past where he used just Scott
Used to get a ball to Jordan really just get out the way now he’s like Jordan give me the ball let me do my thing one of the big reasons for that was my maybe my departure away from his team for 18 months to where he stepped forward and
Understood some of the responsibility that he has his game is beautiful at this particular time and I think you have to respect that and give him credit Chicago now hears talk of 70 wins a feat never accomplished the record is 69 by WL Chamberlain 7172 Lakers the 9192
Bulls were only two victories off that Mark the second team that won 67 games but uh possibly could have won a lot more games over the course of the Season had a tendency to figure games out in the middle of a game and go ahead and
Just win a game and this team has that little ability to just put the finishing touches on teams somewhere in the second half they deliver that we had a chemistry between us that worked on the Flor and now the only way we can tell us if
That’s going to happen with this team is if if we continue to play well and if we continue into the playoffs and go ahead and win
A debate that rages to this day. Which Bulls team was better?!

1997 is better than 1996. More good teams. No competition really in 1996…
1993 is better because MJ and Scottie are their primé and they're played very well and fast and i think early 90s was more physical than end 90s
MJ was the Michael Jordan of all Michael Jordans
91.
