His Airness Michael Jordan

[Guest megalodon]

thinking about it kung naglalaro si michael sa peak ngayon,

 

si shaq, kobe, garnet at lebron ang malamang HINDI magkakaroon ng championships. sila ang swerte dahil wala na yung 90s bulls, or should i say wala na si 23. hard evidence of that is the b2b championships of HOU.

My take is MJ would have had a hard time winning those championships with Shaq and Kobe at their prime. Same with MJ entering the NBA in 1980. He'd win championships but I doubt it if he'd get 6.

^^ The '96 Bulls would make mincemeat out of any team in the '00s, Lakers included, especially with today's no hand-check rules.

Today's rules are for sissies.

I'm not exactly sure if the Bulls would make mincemeat of any team in the 00's though. Spurs puede but the Lakers of Shaq and the Celts of today? I'm not sure about that.

No one can be sure because this is all speculation. What i'm sure of though is that Pippen and Jordan CAN and WILL shut down PP and Allen BUT not the other way around. And the 4 headed-monster of Longley, Wennington, Edwards and Salley have 24 fouls to spend on Shaq while Pip, MJ and Harp will take turns containing Kobe.

Ok. Point taken. But still Shaq in his LA hayday was hard to stop. I mean these 4 could not guard Shaq so it's only but logical to use Hack a Shaq. Pip puede but I remember Pip had a difficult time in the 2000 West Finals against Kobe. MJ against Kobe would be more like it. MJ could shut down Allen but as for Pip shutting down Pierce, Scottie could but Pierce will still get his share. As for KG against The Worm, KG would dominate him. Shawn Kemp ran rings around Rodman in the 1996 NBA Finals that's why Phil Jackson put a bigger guy on The Rainman.

 

@dencio. What about your take on the 1986 Celts against the 1996 Bulls?

Seryoso ka? Lebron would blow by Rodman anytime.

[evilways]

Pag ganyan, malamang thrown out or suspended si Rodman.

[howarddeduct]

Siyempre gaganti si Queen. Thrown out din siya. :evil:

Kaya nga i specifically mentioned the 24 fouls to use on Shaq eh. The 2000 Pip was already a step slower but the '96 version surely can guard Kobe! And Pierce getting his share against Pip - only if he shot 50 times, haha! I continue to be amazed how the defensive skills of an 8-time All-NBA Defensive 1st Team honoree continues to be overlooked!

 

KG dominating the Worm? We're talking here of the Celts version ha! He may have the height but not the bulk nor the hops (as Kemp had). Plus during this period of his career, KG was no longer as dominating offensively. But Phil would surely love that to happen. Make KG an offensive player and put the ball in the hands of the least clutch of the Big 3!

 

'86 Celts vs '96 Bulls? Tough call between 2 teams that are among the best ever assembled. The Celts with their 41-1 home record and the Bulls with their 72-10 regular season record.

 

The Celts will dominate the interior with their original Big 3 and Bill Walton coming off the bench. Now here is a power forward that Rodman won't be able to handle - Kevin Mchale with his myriad moves, wingspan and height. The Bulls have the edge on the perimeter and if their shooters click especially Kukoc, it will negate Boston's inside edge. I would love to watch the Pip vs Bird matchup and Ainge and DJ alternating on MJ. On the bench, i think Jax is the craftier coach compared to KC Jones. If this were a best-of-7, the team with the homecourt advantage wins it. On a one game, neutral court setting, i'd pick the Celtics winning on a Larry Bird jumpshot as time expires.
