I will go with the bulls but if the heat had a PG like CP3 or billiups then I would go with the heat.

96 bulls knew how to close out opponents especially after jordan got his legs back under him.

Obviously they haven't even played together yet so they aren't comparable but on paper the Clippers starting 5 look awfully good. No weaknesses

1-Paul
2-Billups
3-Butler
4-Blake
5-Jordan

Phil Jackson has 11 rings as a head coach. Spolestra ran the A/V department.

Best individual talent goes to the heat.. best team composition factoring in talent goes to the bulls.

Im a Heat fan and i think the 96 bulls are better than us right now. They have rings, we have none with this crew. Yes Wade has one but the current team does not. This crew would get smashed by the 96 bulls.

Is this seriously a question? Those Bulls would smash this Heat team.

Really? How is this even a question. Until LeBron James proves he can win on the biggest stage, there is no question that Michael Jordan is the greatest from the early nineties to the present. The 96 Bulls would beat the 2011 Heat.

I think Michael, Rodman, and Scotty could beat Lebron, wade, and Bosh all day long.

I think Scotty could do a good job on Lebron, and michael could shut down wade. And Rodman would embarrass bosh.

That team was amazing playing during the best era of the nba.

That's all well and good.. but did the bulls have the #1 and 2 players in the entire league on their roster?

Those three are all great.. but all 3 of the heat were the stars on their individual teams.. could rodman carry a team on his own?

No, the bulls had the greatest player ever. A top 50 all time player.
And I think it is hard for anyone to admit that Rodman wouldn't own that crybaby bosh.

Kobe > Lebron

He plays the entire game.

2001 Lakers would destroy the 1996 Bulls

39-2 stretch going 15-1 in the playoffs beating much tougher competition than the Bulls ever faced by 20 points a game.

Clemens is too painfully stupid to realize that my first post in this thread wan't serious. The only disappointing thing about NBA threads is that they seem to attract some of the worst mongoloids this site has to offer

The Bulls best lineup was

Kerr/Harper
Jordan
Pippen
Rodman
Kuckov

TK was Lamar Odom before LO. This lineup would cause too many problems for the heat.

If there were any 2/3 combo in NBA history that could shut down Wade and Bron, it was Pip and Jordan, and IMO i think they would. Those guys had some of the most uncanny drives to win in sports history.
