You're right, but even most of the posts in this thread are crazy.  Basketball has come a LONG way in 20 years.  If you put those Bulls in a time machine and they played the Warriors of today the score would look something like 120-70 in the Warriors favor no matter what rules you play by.  Just as Bill Russell's Celtics would have lost by a comparable score to Jordan's Bulls.  Its really not even worth a conversation, and its not a knock on the Bulls.  People get so caught up in the Jordan mythology that they miss the fact that the Bulls invented the fluid switching defense that the Warriors are employing so effectively right now.  Just like the Warriors best line up has 6'8 Green at center, the Bulls best line up had 6'8 Rodman at center.  Of course when you compare the two, Green is far stronger, a far better athlete, and far more skilled.  Things progress over time, unless like Boxing the popularity of the sport just simply disintegrates.  This Warrior's team should stand as a testament to the brilliant system the Bulls invented that improved the sport of basketball.  Nobody needs to resort to the intellectually dishonest argument that the Bulls could have played a team from 20 years in the future and hung in the game.
