re: 2014 Spurs v 1996 Bulls

Comparing teams across eras is always a borderline ridiculous exercise.

But it's fair to say that neither team would finish off the other in less than 6 games.

I will say this: the 14 Spurs are deeper and shot better in the Finals than any squad the Bulls ever saw.

As great as Chicago was, they never destroyed an opponent in the Finals the way SA just did. No one has since before their time.

And despite all that, the Bulls may still have won. Who's to say?

But if you just say bulls win because of Jordan/Pippen, that won't work. SA has left a trail of world class duos and trios in their wake over the past 15 years. Jordan was transcendent but not superhuman. Pop would definitely have made him and the Bulls earn every inch, just like SA has done to other more talented opponents over the years.
