Nope, the 95-96 Bulls team is miles better and the NBA was a lot better then it is now.  You also had the team with the most losses this season since the 76ers lost 72.  I totally agree with what Pippen said a couple of month ago that Bulls team would sweep this years Warriors team in a seven game series.

Absolutely. Modern NBA is really weak, and I can't figure out what happened.

Steph Curry wouldn't be an MVP in the 90s era. LeBron however I think would have still done quite well back in the day. Maybe not multiple championships level (depending on team), but he has the physical talent to excel even back when it was a whole lot rougher on the court. Heck, I like Steph Curry, his three point shot is a thing of beauty, but he is far from a complete player. He is mediocre or worse on defense :

Of course it would depend on the team.  No player has EVER won a,championship alone.  The 96 Bulls were absurdly stacked not just in general but relative to their time.

But the officiating trends have changed.  However, this is nothing new.  The greatest teams are built for their time. Warriors would struggle in 96.  Bulls would struggle in 65 through 69.  It's the nature of the beast.  Times change.  The warriors are an excellent shooting team built for a league that supports that in the regular season.  But that's the problem:  the play is closer to the 90s in the playoffs.

All I'm saying is don't just dismiss the current teams cause they are tailored to their day.  The Bulls were the same.  And please, don't forget that the Bulls were not at all representative of the league.  They were stacked.
