Yep, no one could beat the Bulls - the way they dismantled John Starks and his Knicks every year was breath taking - I loved when they would run those stories on him bagging groceries in the off season - there was not one other good team in the league all those years - and that's fact - yeah, I could just see the Bulls mowing down Shaq and Kobe or TD, Manu and Parker every year - I'm not knocking the Bulls and I accept Jordan as the greatest ever hands down - but talk about winning by default - I used to love when they hyped up that sorry Jazz team as being a legit threat - who really knows how good the Bulls were - they never beat one championship caliber team - and that's fact - people have no clue what Jordan did for the NBA - if not for him - no one would have watched all those years.
Kind of like SA's title in 99' - the Lakers had not developed yet - and we beat the sisters of the poor - just like the Bulls did all those years - we lost 2 playoff games - judging by that - I guess we can assume the 99' Spurs were one of the best ever - they were a good team - that won by default - just like Chicago did for a decade.
