Really? The Pistons won 2 titles and lost another in the Finals. The Knicks physically beat the crap out of the Bulls and went to the Finals as soon as MJ retired. The Magic followed suit with Penny Hardaway and Shaq. And the Pacers at the end of the Bulls run went toe-to-toe with them. The toughest challenge those Bulls might have faced was the Pacers in the 98 ECF. That was a legendary series. The Pacers took them to 7 and had the lead in the 4th quarter but couldn't hang on. Those were great teams that never got to the finish line because they couldn't overcome the Bulls.

I also hate the heat personally. The big 3 played teams in free agency when they knew all along they were signing with the Heat

The Pistons were on their last legs by '90 and '91, but the Bulls still had to beat them, and ultimately, they buried them.
The Knicks were the original Bulls' toughest foe after they felled the Pistons. Took them to 7 in the '92 semis, and went up 2-0 on them in the '93 ECF. The Knicks of the second Bulls three peat were largely over the hill. The second Bulls threepeat struggled more with the Pacers than any other team, and should have lost to them in Game 7 of the ECF. An underrated good team of that era was the Cavs. They pushed the Bulls in the '92 Eastern Finals, but then Price and Daugherty gave out almost simultaneously. The East of the early-mid 90s was a much better conference than it is today. The Celtics and Hornets were second tier teams, but they had talent up until Grandmama's back went out, Mourning forced his way to Miami, and Reggie Lewis dropped dead. Then again, the West was pretty damned good as well. The Sonics, Suns, Rockets, Spurs, and Jazz were all really good teams. However, for about a 10 year period from 97-2007 the quality of the whole NBA was pretty dismal.

If anyone thinks that he 90s Pacers, Knicks, and Pistons were real competition for the Bulls, they're lying to themselves.
The Bulls even without Jordan were killing these teams. In 93-94 the Bulls were 10-4 against them and 11-3 against them in 94-95.

And all theyre fake ass fans. Nobody respects this bitch ass team. The NBA greats laugh at the fact that they had to combine and form a super team to win a championship

You're going pretty overboard guy. No one is laughing at 27 in a row.

Not much NBA because it isnt what it once was. But you got the Lakers forming a mega team or attempting to. The Clippers, the Heat, the Celtics did it.
