Michael Jordan’s Bulls vs. the NBA’s greatest all-time teams: Who wins?

Widely considered the two best teams of the modern era, I give a big advantage to the Warriors, regardless of if they played under 1990s rules or the current rules.

As much as you’d want to take the Bulls playing in 1996 rules, remember, the 3-point line had been moved in to facilitate offense. At 22-feet, that might as well have been a layup for the likes of Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant.

The Warriors went 16-1 in the playoffs, the best playoff winning percentage in NBA history. The lone loss was to the LeBron/Kyrie Cavs in Game 4, when Cleveland made an NBA record 24 three-pointers. (For argument’s sake, the 1996 Bulls made 36 three-pointers in the entire Finals against the Sonics).

Ultimately, Golden State’s offense, plus length and strength on the wing, would be too much for Jordan. The Warriors could throw the bigger modern wings at Jordan — 6-foot-7 Thompson, 6-foot-6 Iguodala, 6-6 Shaun Livingston — and while MJ would still get his, the supporting cast wasn’t strong enough to beat arguably the greatest offensive team in NBA history. Remember, the Bulls didn’t top 90 points in the final 3 games of the 1996 Finals.
