you're giving them 3 titles that they didn't even win? 1 when the team wasn't even together? why doesn't free agency count for the bulls? why do we assume they win in '95, when they lost to orlando who got swept by houston, with jordan (before someone goes off here, jordan averaged 31.5 ppg, 6.5 rpg and 4.5 apg in the '95 playoffs, 30.7, 4.0 and 4.1 in '96 - yes, he was pretty good in '95)? fact is, they won 6 (which is pretty good). had jordan stayed, we don't know how things would have played out. he was burnt out as it was, so he may not have continued on through '98 like he ended up doing. maybe pippen bolts earlier if jordan never left, to see what it's like without his security blanket.
it's a good matchup, especially against the '01 lakers who dominated the postseason. jordan may be the best player on the court, but #'s 2 and 3 are shaq and kobe, and they're not too far behind.
