    I've always said that the bulls couldn't hang with the showtime lakers.
    like jamaica said, jordan was lucky to hit his prime after magic and bird hit theirs....

    I don't think its as simple as that, Those Bulls teams in their prime were definitely no slouch,and MJ's competition during his run was just as great MJ was just that good where he didn't really have a rival,and if he did he found a way to beat them.

    and as u read, if u did read the article, that scrimmage team coach Daly put Magic on was definitely superior to MJ's and MJ still beat them, but it was a great read just thought I'd share with the true basketball heads in here.

    Barkley was about to speak when Bird piped up, “Quiet!! You haven’t won a thing. You have no say in this. Same with Patrick and Ahmad. Your all gone! You guys have no championships so just sit there and be quiet and maybe you will learn some things.” (As an aside, interesting comments from Bird for those who wonder why Lebron wants to win championships so bad)

    Jordan had Rivals,he had the whole league tryin to stop him

    Jordan never had a rival that equaled him in terms of talent you can't deny that. Magic and Bird were equal to each other in talent.

    I think the closest Jordan had was Drexler and that ? wasnt seein MJ

    Thats my point exactly he was the best period.Nobody was on his level he dominated his peers

    Magic and bird were even, jordan separated himself from the comp,there was no competition

    Nah I just honestly think the SG play in the early 90s was not like it was in the 80s and late 90s/00s

    Or maybe Jordan was just that godly idk.

    Jordan was def on another planet, but u figure if Jordan never existed and all the other players still played how they played the best player in that era wouldn't be the greates of all time. Id argue that the best player other than Jordan in his time isn't clearly better than Kobe, LeBron or Wade so I guess Jordan was fortunate in that aspect of not having a "leBron" type of player in the same era as he was in

    Jordan seperated himself fromeveryone else i dont get why yall cant see that...there was alot of hof's from 84- 00 and jordan was just so much more dominate then them in almost every aspect of the game that all. kobe is just much more dominate than everyone now in the game even though people will like wade and lebron better but when it comes down to it kobe is much more dominat and the rings and his play shows it.

    There were players better than Jordan during his first few years in the league, however by the time Jordan hit his prime none of his competitors were on his level. Imagine a NBA with Bird and no Magic or Magic with no Bird......

    Was a good read.. of course it was romanticized.. why.. beacause no one can say what it was for sure.. im sure it was intense.. im sure it was a battle.. but nothign else you can really be sure of.. because of the creative license that the author took.. and its like the game telephone.. the word changes.. the meaning changes..

    That's what I'm saying. I can't really think of a guard/forward in the 90s outside of Drexler, who was on his decline once he hit the Rockets, that could even compare to a player like Kobe/Wade/Lebron/Melo. You had ? like Mitch Richmond and Glen Rice but dudes wasn't Kobe nice. ? they had ? like Harold Miner and Ron Harper being called Baby Jordans. ROFL
