Are you kidding? The '95-'96 Chicago Bulls teams were one of the best teams in NBA history. They f*cking won 72 games for god's sake! Heat may have one the championship this year, but just because they won a title doesnt even come close to what that Bulls team did.
lol, its not even a question, the Bulls in 95-96. We won the championship but you cant compare the Heat to the Bulls. I dont think u can compare any team to those Bulls except the Celtics back in their glory years.

It's really hard to compare the two teams because they played in two different era's of basketball. The Heat used some zone alot this year, especially in the finals. That would have not been allowed in the old NBA, it would have been an illegal defense on the Heats part. Handchecks were allowed in the old NBA at that time, but would not be allowed in the NBA these days(which i wonder how well Jordan would have done guarding a Dwayne Wade without handchecks.) There are alot of rules that seperate these two teams, and the times they played.That being said, i would never pick a team over the 95-96 Chicago Bulls, it just seems like complete blasphemy to ever go against Michael Jordan.
WOW this topic is pointless. Whether you meant 04/05 Pistons or 05/06 Heat its still the Bulls by a long shot. This topic is pretty much stupid. You would have to be retarded to say the Pistons or Heat.

And when they did face them, they got trampled.
Now you are going to knock the Pistons? I thought this was a knock-the-Heat thread.But, Bulls win by a longshot.

So "getting trampeled" by these teams really doesn't prove much since it was a different time for Michael Jordan and the Bulls. You can also look at it, as good as those teams were, they never beat the Bulls in their primes.
