What is popular or semi-popular narrative that is flat out LIE?
What people should discuss about the Bad Boys Pistons is that how the rule change around flagrant fouls after their championship season just exposed them as an above-average team who took advantage of the fact that hard fouls weren't punished as much before. I hate that the same people who hate foul baiting loves the team that take advantage of the rules by fouling too much.
Great idea for a series Jonny. 👍👍
Malone and Stockton are pretty much like Derozan and Lowry.
Whoa, you are not being totally truthful about that 97 Rockets team. You didn't even mention the significant injury problems they each had. This was not a true super-team, even back then. It was too old and too injured. They were the oldest playoff team and they also had by far the most games missed due to injury, and Hakeem's knees were "older" than he was because of battles with tendonitis. Don't just compare age, compare health and injuries too.
Karl Malone and John Stockton played 82 games that year, as did Kemp and Payton.
The simple answer is … every f n body
Hahaa look at clippers this season.
Just remember, the more people that respond to this NONSENSE, the more money the content creator makes.
Best team they beat was the pistons. And then they added one of the three HOFers they had to their team
works both ways homie, if you want, I can give you a nice cooking session about how the bulls were "not" all that, but something tells me you'd move goalposts to make them look better, the same way Bron fans do to make him look better
21 inducted hall of fame players an too many to count of hall of very good in a brutal defensive eras. Today statistically is the softest. Games are uncontested dunks and 3’s like Barkley says “nobody wants to watch”
The teams the 90s bulls faced probably APPEARED weak, because Jordan was freakin unstoppable! And the 15-16, 73-9 Warriors was no super team by the standards LeBron unintentionally set, their core were all drafts.
The Truth is the NBA was going to get Jordan Rings. Rodman headbuts a Ref, kicks a camera man and gets light suspension to ensure Jordan the opportunities to succeed for 2 examples. Phantom fouls in Indiana to ensure they get home court advantage. Jordan getting every call, while be defensive player of the year and never fouling out
People forget, did they have an Allstar point guard in 6 chips?
Who was their dominant centre to go up a gay the best five spot decade in Ball history?
They played in a way where they could win despite mismatches.
“THE ONLY TEAM WHO HAD 4 ALLSTARS!”
Oh okay so the 04 Detroit Pistons were a super team. Got it.
Jonny is falling off. Too feminine and emotional these days
Inn reality of them all is the fans wants the rockets and the bulls will face in the NBA finals but never happened
They won so much that critics just jump to the conclusion that the competition must not have been that good….when in reality, THEY were just so good that they dominated great competition….had the Bulls lost one to the Jazz or Sonics, then people would be talking about how tough the Jazz/Sonics were in the middle of the Bulls run…but since that never happened, the easy cop out is "well, they didnt face anyone difficult"
If you watch the games back then, the level of SKILL is very low in comparison to today. Jordan was WAYYYYYYY better than every other player..it wasn't even close. Bulls roleplayers were downright trash. Rodman and Pippen were the best defenders in the league..Pippen was arguably the 2nd best player in the league.
I’ve heard the Jazz called the Utah Community College team by legitimate YouTubers.
Just because there are more athletic/versatile players like Anthony Edwards who can jump out of the building and shoot from anywhere, it does NOT mean they would be successful in the 90s. The second they get hand checked at the 3 point line and go 4-14 from 3, they are getting benched.
You'd had to watch them live to understand how that Chicago Bulls team destroyed their opposition. A-lot of great talent got annihilated by them.
Okay.
Look at it like this:
From 1991-1998 only 15 guys not on a Chicago Bulls roster won a ring. The Rockets.
That's an 8 year span where 80% of the HOF from the 90s miss their shot at a ring.
The Bulls left the greatest generation of talent in the NBA without a ring.
Keep doing your videos bro. Fck u tuuuub
The first four the second best team in the league were also in the east.
They were my first super team. I remember when they got Harper and rodman and then Toni. I was like this team is unreal and it was a super team and there weren't any other
Barkley was overrated. He might be the worst player to ever win an MVP. Charles was never even the best forward in the league let alone the best all around player
You should definitely extrapolate 90 numbers to today's
They are really scary taking defense into account
Same logic can be applied to the eastern conference during Lebron's dominance. I won't say every team he faced was amazing or anything, but there were some legitimately good teams in there that get discredited because Lebron's team didn't let them see the finals
They beat everyone on the way to six. Hard enough to win one but they 3PEAT twice. Best player, great rosters, and great coaching.
Why is every one hating on the bulls …or the goat Jordan
The whole rockets super team wasn't going to be anything special. They were old and we knew it at the time. I usually agree with most of your opinions but not on this. The league was diluting itself with expansion teams thinning out assembling talent loaded teams. The 80s celtics had 4 or 5 hall of famers, lakers had 3, 76ers had 4. The 90s bulls never had to deal with a loaded team, it's as simple as that. Jordan and the bulls did rule the 90s but the resistance they had to go against was nothing like the greatest age in basketball which was the 80s.
Bulls 96 forever the best one
The funny thing is that Bill laimbeer was a very good 3 points shooter and today would be very good
Everybody
They beat the best teams the NBA had to offer. Specifically those 2 Jazz teams, Pacers, and Sonics, who had all built up experience over years of letdowns.
