Don't go there!
No one should debate MJ's stature as the game's greatest, and his ability to suppress "God" (re: David Stern). And if you don't like Bill Walton's take on NBA hoops, join me at the back of the line.
But the competition MJ was up against being better than Larry or MJ's day? Join yourself at the front of the line.
Where you should have just stayed with your argument, JF, is "MJ lifted an otherwise weak team" (i.e. Randy Brown running the point in 1999), and stayed away from the Boston never faced the same competition fluff that this page's editors clearly should have removed themselves, if they were so allowed. You just can't get away with that.
Call MJ better than Bird or Magic, and you'll get no beef from me. Call the competition against MJ better than Bird's or Magic's (the fact they had to face each other so often on the grand stage should have tipped you off that you were heading down Bull Spit Alley), and you get reamed out here like Zell Miller on Chris Matthews.
Magic, at one time or another, had the following supporting cast during that 1980s run: Kareem, McAdoo, Cooper, Wilkes, Norm Nixon and B-Scott, plus Swen Nater (a former All-Star) off the bench, and the only forward that could have been better than Bird in the 1980s, one James Worthy.
Bird had the likes of the following to help: Parish, D-J, McHale, Scott Wedman, M.L. Carr (both former All-Stars), the immortal Cornbread Maxwell, Walton (Sixth Man of the Year in 1986) and Ainge (don't tell me you'd rather have B.J. Armstrong...you know better than that).
These guys went head-to-head three times in the Finals. And you dare hint that they never had the same level of competition.
Boston had to come out of a difficult Eastern Conference every year, staving off the likes of Phily (Mo Cheeks, Malone, the Jones brothers not related, Chocolate Thunder, Andrew "The Boston Strangler" Toney, and a little legend nicknamed the Doctor) and Milwaukee (Sid Moncrief, Junior Bridgeman, Marques Johnson, Bob Lanier, plus Dave Cowens, Brian Winters, Phil Ford, Alton Lister, and Paul Pressey off the bench at some point).
L.A., meanwhile, had to navigate past Phoenix (Walter Davis, Paul Westphal, Truck Robinson, Larry Nance, Mo Lucas, D-J until 1983, Alvan Adams, Kyle Macy, James Edwards) and San Antonio (Iceman, James Silas, Artis Gilmore, Mike Mitchell, Gene Banks and Johnny Moore).
Look up the names and numbers on basketball-reference.com: These aren't run of the mill contributors like the Jazz' Adam Keefe, Greg Foter, Chris Morris, Shandon Anderson, Howard Eisley or the immortal Greg Ostertag. Or a Suns' contributing cast of Richard Dumas, Oliver Miller, Tom Chambers and Ced "The Night Yachtsman" Ceballos. Those guys shunned the spotlight like Howard Hughes on the red carpet.
You're going to tell me that this is the best the league had to offer in competition, and they still needed six games to close out most of these series? You're going to say K.C. Jones, Pat Riley and Billy Cunningham wouldn't have run a bench-deprived squad like that off the damn floor? That's the better competition the Bulls had to face?
All respect to six titles in eight years, but the Celtics, Lakers and 76ers had a hell of a tough time back then, because the competition was pretty damned good. Stuff your argument in the Bulls trash bin in your room.

FANTASTIC
This is a great collection and a must have for any basketball fan...I enjoyed the championship dvds (1 for each year) which takes you through the season and playoffs....these were my favorite in this collection....

Buenísimo
Sobrepasa las expectativas, pues tiene los juegos mas importantes de cada temporada en los que ganaron, además contiene un exquisito resumen de los momentos mas memorables, la trayectoria de los bulls y como fue que llegaron a ser una dinastía... lo recomiendo al 100%. El lenguaje que usan es 100% ingles... pero creo que para los que no saben mucho ingles, pues sigue siendo un contenido brillante y fácil de enteder.
