    The bulls were not a super team.

    whole top row full of bums besides kukoc,bottom row everybody besides jordan & pippen(barely) were role,players and rodman was 35-36

    80's Lakers,C's current warriors super teams

    So you gonna tell me that having Randy Brown and John Salley didnt make them a super team?

    Nah but for real, I'm not holding the 90s bulls to todays standards for super teams, but im comparing them to teams in their era, and if you compare those Bulls to their top competition, the Bulls were more talented at the top and had better role players.

    ? it though, agree to disagree. The definition of superteam changed when Durant went to the warriors cause now teams that were thought to be superteams in the past dont even seem to be superteams when compared to them, which people are doing.

    My main point is even though I know understand where Jordan is coming from, the NBA has historically always had 2-5 good teams, and the rest of the league didnt have a chance.

    The NBA is not like the NFL and MLB where any team can get hot at the right team and win.

    I do agree that with the Warriors the league has even less parity than it usually does, but overall this trend isnt new to the NBA.

    My only disagreement here is that while those other teams didnt have...lets say gold tier, perennial all-stars, they had a bunch of VERY solid and good sliver tier players that at the very least, were probably better than a lot of teams that are around today. There was a lot of decent players in jordans era.

    I think there are more great teams today.

    The cavs, rockets, okc, the spurs, the celtics. These teams have enough talent to compete in any era. Take out the warriors and this woulda been a very competitive year between those 5.

    Then there are a lot of good teams too.

    Its just that the warriors are so good that even these teams dont seem like they are good compared to them.

    Funny how ? say MJ didn't have a super team but go out their way to claim Kobe's post-Shaq Lakers was a super team... same amount of all stars and role players, y'all ? can't have it both ways smfh

    A lot of people here in San Antonio were thinking it wasnt a big deal but one of the sports radio guys thought it might be a bit more serious than the organization was leading on

    Hope he can get healthy and isn't something that lingers all season or forced him to miss significant time

    embiid's ok, but that's it for him. sixers fans will be paranoid all season every time he goes down.
