So much hype is centered around the Big 3 of Jordan, Pippen and Rodman, that not too many people realize just how good their bench was. And the East was loaded, too many people forget Ewing's stacked Knicks, a championship-caliber team.
The Showtime Lakers were a great team, probably the best along with the 86 Celtics, but to take away from the Bulls' 72-10 accomplishment, calling them overrated is retarded.
The 90's my friend had Vlade Divac as the top scorer for the Lakers. A Shawn Kemp led team had the best record. The hand check rule was enacted and the 3 point line shortened.
The best center of the 90's was Olajuwon, who even when paired with Sampson looked tame against retro Jabbar LOL. Olajuwon>O'neal>Robinson>Ewing...
A 72-10 season would not have been possible against prime Olajuwon+Sampson, prime Thomas, prime Bird, and prime Magic playing together in a more physical era. 72-10 happened in a weak and physically less demanding time. The 72-10 Bulls is like 40-0 Marciano, both overrated due to the lack of credible opposition. Malone-Stockton? LOL
Bird alone has more titles than you have inches in your p3nis.
