"The Last Dance" Michael Jordan & Chicago Bulls Docuseries

There’s no question they would’ve won that lockout season. They just said no to a ring.
Debatable, Pippen would have left or took so much money from the bulls that they would have not been able to sign role players. Rodman was bored with the NBA.... Then Tim Duncan would have gave the Bulls fits on both ends of the floor.

MJ was not beating that Spurs team without a deep squad. The Spurs Swept the Blazers and Lakers that year that was loaded with Talent
 
Tim Duncan would disagree. That team barely got out of Utah.

while Tim Duncan was great as a rookie, he still was a rookie

also that New York team wasn’t that great.. allen Houston would have been better today when he could take a lot more 3s per and LJ was never the same after his injury and he was no longer the beast of an athlete he was.. plus camby was an undersized guy to deal with those 2 big guys.. and Ewing was hurt
 
And his rookie bum *** would get 40 dropped on his head if he said one word of that publicly.

Duncan's Rookie season was the 97-98 season. He wasn't a rookie when he won his first ring with the Spurs.
 
Forgetting what year Timmy was a rookie really isn't forgetting how great he was. Only off by one season anyway.

That ho would've still got worked by that Bulls team.

I was referring to the championship season

I just feel like people are living in the moment and don’t realize that Bulls were on their last legs, a lot of players on that roster had bigger/better offers on the table from other teams, players on the decline, a player who already Did not want to be there no more, and when you factor in the off-season and the lockout that lasted until the next yeat, it would’ve been a different result in the finals.

No one is living in the moment. They are simply saying if the 8th seed NY Knicks could have came out of the Eastern Conference then there was no reason to believe the Bulls on "tired legs" couldn't have.

All of those guys would have had an extra 2 months of rest before the season started.

Worst case scenario if they get pushed every series they would've played a total of 76 games that season including the playoffs.

This wasn't your ordinary 4 consecutive Finals run that we've come to witness because of those missing 32 games

The only person on tired legs who didn't play that lock out year was Rodman. And he's always been the type of player who thrived better in structure.

The reasons I feel the Bulls could overcome that is cuz that Spurs team were first timers in the finals, didnt have the experience and not enough players to weather a Bulls storm.

I mean that Spurs team couldn't even make it back to the finals the next season.

That lockout season was a big anomaly. That Bulls team probably would've went 50-10
