		<description>Asking for only one game -- Anything is possible and if we&#039;re thinking of one game it&#039;s very much doable. I&#039;m not saying &#039;09 Lakers team is better than the 95-96 Bulls team (my own belief); however, it is very much doable. 

Ask &#039;09 Laker fans if the La Clippers can beat them at least once this year; they probably say &quot;oh, hells no!&quot; Well, from last night&#039;s game which this &#039;09 Lakers lost to the Clippers shows that anything is possible. 

Lakers even have a hard time beating out the Charlotte Bobcats for some reason. I know the reason thereof, it&#039;s because Bobcats has those tall, strong, and fast players and having these type of players on your roster you can play almost anyone and be effective. 

There are days when shots aren&#039;t falling and even the so called &quot;greatest player&quot; MJ had several games where he couldn&#039;t buy a buck. I know these things from actually watching the games on TV, not from the youtube videos that we see now-a-days. I saw when Jordan had the stomach virus and he didn&#039;t do well and same thing for Kobe when he was ailing with this same illness. Who knows, what if in this one game MJ has a stomach virus or anything that prevents him from scoring. Like I said anything it&#039;s possible and winning or losing one game is very much doable. 

I don&#039;t like or dislike the &#039;09 Lakers; however, I do like the old Bulls. Here&#039;s the problem I see, if we&#039;re thinking they&#039;ll never lose one game; than (as InsightfulDoubt have mentioned in his post) how is it possible they lost lost 10 games out of 82? I guess we can use the same term (NFL) for NBA games as well... It&#039;s any given Sunday; however, for NBA it&#039;ll be more like, it&#039;s any given night or day. 

I said in my previous statements that the Bulls will win; but that&#039;s asking a fan of the old Bulls team. Just like we have some hardcore Laker fans who may answer by saying the &#039;09 Lakers will win. If the question was asked, which of the two team is a better team than the other? I (as an Old Bulls fan) will say it&#039;s the &#039;95-&#039;96 Bulls all-the-way. Here is the thing though, even so we&#039;ll have some hardcore Laker fans who will say that the &#039;09 Lakers team are better than that of &#039;95-&#039;96 Bulls. 

Now these things are coming from the fans; so, how can we (I) hate them for who they&#039;re placing their allegiance to? A message to all: Always be a fan and never lost your heart for whomever you&#039;re going for.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m 33 and feeling real old because cats don&#039;t seem to know their history. The &#039;96 Bulls never went down 0-2 against the Knicks, that was the &#039;93 Bulls and let me just go ahead and pencil the &#039;93 Knicks as winners against the &#039;09 Lakers (if they allow them to play REAL ball and not the perimeter friendly rules of today). I agree that the Kobe-Michael matchup would be a classic, both will go at it no doubt. But I think Michael was more obsessed at winning than Kobe, MJ had his eyes only on the prize where as Kobe wants to go out and prove he is the best everytime he goes out on the court BY ALL MEANS NECCESARY. Kobe&#039;s obsession with MJ will take away from the team concept. MJ would size him up during the first couple of games, and throw a knockout blow to end the series in 5, perhaps 6. Plus, the team concept the Bulls had was head and shoulders above this Lakers team that is riding Kobe in a way that is similar to the &#039;98 Bulls, it just worries me that 24 won&#039;t burn himself out like in 2008 when he was out of gas in the Finals (although the Celtics D had a lot to do with it).</description>

You popping that bull$h!t but the proof is everywhere.  Watch the DVDs.  I&#039;m sure your netflicks has them.  MJ and Scottie made those 90&#039;s bulls team what they were.  Everything that&#039;s said about them ain&#039;t Myth.  Wilt Chamberlin&#039;s dominance and Bill Russell&#039;s defense can be considered myth because there is very little video of that.  Only stats.  N!cca, there is no stat puffing with MJ, he $h!t is written in stone and you can download, youttube, and purchase everything you need to watch on him and the Bulls. 

Your corny, wanna be espn analyst, Stuaru Scott type cats kill me with that $h!t.  You heard someone say some off-the-wall type ish and you regeritate it whenever you think it will make you look smart.  In this case it&#039;s not working.  everything from the 80&#039;s and up has been recorded with video.</description>

		<description>Although, my favorite of all-time team is Chigago Bulls team; but I believe there&#039;s one other team that could beat both the &#039;96 Bulls team and for the &#039;09 Lakers team. The &#039;88 and &#039;89 Detroit Pistons team. Yes, this team will beat out both of them.</description>

		<description>&#039;96 Bulls had charisma and they had character. I think &#039;09 Lakers are trying to be like the old Bulls team or teams. You can fault Coach Jackson for that. I believe one of the reason, getting Ron Artest was this very reason to be like the old Bulls team. We know Artest is a great off the ball player; but comparing him with Dennis Rodman theres not comparison. Now Artest can score and we know this becuase he use to score with the Kings. But on the defensive level theres no comparison. 

Rodman knew how to cheat and he was great at it. He made cheating look awesome. I mean, he would lock arms with the opposing player and somehow tries to push himself off him and the ref would call an offensive foul on the other player. Why? Is because it looks like the other player has a hold of him. Very clever player. He was one of the best rebounder and he was only 6 ft 8 (Ben Wallace same height). He will do the same for whoever Laker he is guarding. Bynum will be fouled out and Gasol will have his hands full. Because of Dennis Rodman&#039;s height and his ability to jump and his strength he can guard almost anyone of those Lakers. 

Kobe is great shooter but him being equal or better than Jordan is not so. What&#039;s this thing about Andrew Bynum owning Luc Longley deal? I dislike this 100%. Luc Longley plays big and to me he was like ARVYDAS SABONIS (Portland Trailblazers) type centers. Can Bynum do well on Sabonis? No. So can he do well on Longley? No:) 

Now the question was asked because &#039;09 Bulls won 72 out 82 games. Well I don&#039;t think Lakers can touch any other Bulls team when jordan was in them. You remember John Paxson, Horace Grant, Bill Cartwright, Will Perdue, and B.J. Armstrong? Yeah, I thought so. 

Supersonics... I love this team; but Jordan and the gang was too much for them. They only had Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton? Are you sick! What about for Hershey Hawkins, Detlet Shrempf, Nate McMillan, Craig Ehlo, Sam Perkins, Terry Cummings, and David Wingate? Now to say they only had Kemp and Gp now that&#039;s just not knowing history of your NBA. I believe this Supersonic team can beat out the &#039;09 Lakers.</description>

		<description>AdvancedMind, all Ian did was show the numbers that dispelled a myth you clearly believe in, and thus you instantly assume he is saying Rodman is terrible? Men lie, women lie, numbers don&#039;t (they don&#039;t always show the whole story, but regardless...)</description>

		<description>The refs would have a tough time with this one, how would they decide on what fouls to call given that both teams get away with a lot and are catered to? I mean would Jordan be able to just push his defender out of the way and not get called for the foul? If so, how would Kobe handle not getting the call his way? (See Bryon Russell)</description>
