'96 Bulls Vs.'09 Lakers: Who Would Win?
Arguably, the ‘96 Chicago Bulls are the greatest team of all-time. You had (again, arguably) the greatest player of all-time in Michael Jordan, a top 50 NBA player in Scottie Pippen, one of the greatest rebounders of all-time with Dennis Rodman and the Zen Master himself, Phil Jackson, roaming the sidelines. Then you have their 72-10 record (best in NBA history) and the fact that they won the championship that year - the first of three. It's hard to build a case why they aren't the best squad ever.

While the Lakers are off to a league best 23-4 start, they certainly aren't on pace to win 72. But they have one of the most stacked teams since that Bulls team. There is no doubt, this would be a great game. Almost 13-years after MJ and Co. steamrolled through the NBA, the game has changed a little bit. The athletes are better, the game is less physical and there have been plenty of rule changes. I took a look at what might have happened if the '96 Bulls met the '09 Lakers in a game on a neutral court.

If only we could duplicate/clone Phil Jackson to coach both squads.
