absolutely.

91 Lakers had big names, but they were not the same team they were in the decade previous.

Pippen was also the 3rd or 4th best player in the NBA throughout this run as well.

The second 3 peat featured the most talented team ever.

Take Jordan off those teams and they still are title contenders. Not locks, but certainly in the upper echelon of talent in the league. I don't see how that is debatable.

The 91 Lakers had an old Magic...that's it. Worthy was injured for the finals and Kareem had already retired.

During the 1st 3peat, the Bulls were not that talented. Jordan was Jordan. Grant and Pippen were great players. But the rest of the roster was journeymen and role players. Both the 92 Blazers and 93 Suns were way more talented and much deeper. Both teams also featured MVP level superstars for Jordan to battle (Barkley and Drexler). Drexler is way underrated for his career. When they matched up, Drexler was considered Jordan's main competition and lots thought he might take the throne. Jordan just crushed all that though and Drexler started fading away..
