The end.

Why is this a question?

Exactly. They were unstopable that year. No way could Kobe take Jordan in his prime. He had it all. Kobe is a good player but he is not on the same level as Jordan was. This year proved that Kobe can't do shit without a dominant force in the middle. Jordan never had a center like Shaq and still won 6 championships.

No he didn't have a center, but he did have Scottie Pippen who was like his wingman, they worked so well together.

One thing I like about the 90's Bulls is that nobody really hated them. When they came to your town, it sucked because MJ would light you up for 40, but it was fun just to watch the show. There's a universal :thumbup: for the dynasty team.

Didn't have to be with Jordan being the major player of the 2. So in a way, Jordan was the dominant force like Shaq and Pippen was like Kobe....only in that sense. I'm not comparing Pippen to Kobe.

You just proved my point of Jordan not needing a dominant force but Kobe needing one.

Jordan was the dominant force in the middle. That bastard would post up, then fade away with a 10 foot jumper. You're right, there was no help, but he'd create his own inside game. You also can't discredit Rodman. He worked the boards for 20+ rebounds a night ... but would airball freethrows.

Guard Jordan with a small, fast, speedy defender ... he'd post, back into the lane 5 feet from the hoop and rain fade aways all night long.

Guard Jordan with a taller, small foward, to prevent post ups ... he'd dribble circles till their knees knocked, and drop 20 footers.

Double Jordan and he'll find the open man.


It's a rare thing to see a shooting guard postup in the NBA now.
