i mean what can i add to this ...
First off the lakers was suppose to beat the bulls.
And why the hell would magically the pistons suppose to lose vs the bulls in the EC final when they have the same team prior to the year before ?
Btw the suns were a favorite ( or a tie but no way bulls were favorite) in 93 and the jazz in 98 as well.
The bulls in their first 3 peat was great because of MJ and thats it .
Pippen did his job ok ....
but pippen was not the reason the bulls won and we saw it in 1994 when pippen was even a better player by then.
I mean if the bulls were such a great team like you said, Pippen should of done better being abetter player by than right and even in 1995 when Jordan came back and still he couldnt do the job with a "weaker MJ" in that year.
Clearly you should give credit a lot more to jordan and give less to pippen.
So please stop talking like the bulls were awesome in their first 3 peat.
There was a huge difference between the first and 2 peat, clearly.
Jordan was phenomenal early 90.
bull had pippen with around 20ppg and then grant and cartwrigth lol....
Put any player instead of Jordan and no way they win 3 title, never!
Even lebron !
He freakin lost to the mavs with a MUCH better squad than the bulls in 1991-93, clearly!

That's two dream teamers and all time greats. Lebron had nothing close to that teammate wise the first go around in Cleveland.[/B].
Strange that i got flamed a lot saying jordan was still and all-star in his last 2 season and everyone seem to think he was bad when i think he was still all-star caliber.
Than u post your second paragraph ???
Jordan played the same position as pippen and earn as good stats at 39-40 years old than pippen had throughout his entire carrer and we all know ( i hope) Jordan was has good a defender as pippen was...
But pippen becomes "enough to be the core of a great team." but Jordan cant be ?
Prime in 1994 and jordan at 39 are like super close stats wise.
i mean nothing to be add really....
