That was a great team, no doubt. But the '85 (and '87) Lakers had two of the top five GOAT players on their roster. I'd take either of those teams over the 2001 squad.Madnessssss wrote:the lakers had two top 10 GOAT players on the same team at the same time in their prime and went 15-1 in the playoffs. That was obviously the best team of all time and there should be no debate.

one can only wonder what would have happened if any of those bulls teams went up against a team the caliber of sa (in those days) EVER... never mind sweep em.

Re: Whats the greatest NBA team in history?
the 91 Bulls was pretty good. In my opinion better than the 92 Bulls. The 92 Bulls got a bit flustered by the Knicks in a series that went 7 games even though the 1991 Bulls handled the Knicks pretty well by sweeping them.

lol, stop your trolling. Jordan wasn't getting swept in any Finals ever, not with the 72 win bulls team. Kobe couldn't handle MJ.town bidness wrote:you're insane.deezna10 wrote:01 lakers, no not even one of the top 3 teams.town bidness wrote: 96 bulls would have to be #3 behind the 01 team.. greatest playoff run to date.

I'd go with the Lakers from 1996-Present

i wasnt saying jordan would get swept.. i'm talking about jordan never even having to deal with a foe the caliber of 2000s san an in 96 or ever. they couldnt even sweep the knicks in 96... who knows if the bulls would have beat that sa team at all.
