If the 90's Bull(as they were) played in the era of the 50's & 60's, how many championships they would of won

Question

The 90's Bulls would of won every year they played. MJ would have at least 13 rings. Back in the 50's & 60's a 6'6 guard didn't exist. The teams back then wouldn't know how to contain MJ & the rest of the athletic giants of men Bulls... So I'd say they'll have 13 or at least every year they played.

Answer 1

I would have to strongly disagree. Some of the best big men of all time played in the 50s and 60s era. They would have dominated the game even if michael jordan was there. The game back then revolved around the centers and each one of them had a patented post move that was more or less impossible to stop. Also the defense rules were much more lax and flexible. They were allowed to camp inside, I don't think there was a three second rule. Also the reach in rule was only implemented in the past decade. I do not think the Bulls would have won near the amount they won in the 90s.

Answer 2

come on take a look at c the rule. those r wat made the bulls so great. they were the rigth team in the rigth era. if the bull played by the rule for the 1990s yes they would will alot of championship but to use the rule of the 50 and 60 the bull would got manhandled. thier were 15 rules from the 1940-60. how many r thier now come on look at the rule
1951-52
• Lane widened from six to 12 feet
Change primarily attributed to the dominance of George Mikan

1964-65
• Lane widened from 12 to 16 feet
Change primarily attributed to the dominance of Wilt Chamberlain
also remeber they was no 3 second rule so a person could plant then self under the basket and even that would take away from mj game. hand checking as legal


1976-77
• Excessive and/or vigorous swinging of the elbows, without contact, is a violation.


how many rule were change cause of mj and the bulls. dotn get me wrong the bulls were a great team, in the right time.
how many times the bull had to use the 3pointer to win a game that was use till the 1978-1979 preseason

Answer 3

Athletic giants of men Blls??? You mean Bill Cartwright? Luc Longley? LOL

There's more to basketball that just height, moron. Zdrunas Ilgauskas is 7'3", and he SUCKS! Your boy Danny Manning was a 7 footer, he sucked too!

The Celtics would have let Michael get his 40 or 50 points, and shut everyone else out. Scottie Pippen would be worn out by halftime chasing John Havlicek around (Havlicek could run non-stop for 48 mintues, Pippen would need a lung transplant by the halfway point of the 3rd quarter).

Sam Jones vs. Steve Kerr? LOL

BJ Armstrong vs. Bob Cousy? r u kidding me?


The Celtics of the 60s had FOUR top 50 players, compared to only TWO for the Bulls.

What made the Celtics what they were was that they knew how to win games against the very best (the consistently beat Chamberlain in the playoffs, as well as the combo of Jerry West and Elgin Baylor...heck they even beat Chamberlain, West AND Baylor in the 69 finals... ). So they'd have no trouble with the Bulls.

Michael was in his real prime in the 1980s, and he never made it past a conference final. Remember how the Celtics got torched for 63 by Jordan, but STILL WON THE GAME? No, of course you don't...you weren't even born yet...

The Celtics of the 60s didn't care how many points any individual scored against them.. as long as they, as a team, scored one more point than their opponent. They'd always be able to defeat a team like the Bulls, especially when all Jordan cared about was his own stats.

Answer 4

I believe the time of the big men was actually the late 60's early 70's?

BIll russell/Wilt Chamberlain.

I dont' think the bulls would be able to properly match up against them, it doesn't matter if Jordan score 50-60 points a game against slower, weaker players, there just isn't a single player on that team that can stop Wilt Chamberlain.

Wilt will singlehandidly beat the Bulls.

A better question would have been would the Shaq/Kobe Lakers have dominated in the 60's =)

Answer 5

The first 3-peat Bulls may have had a chance to win ONE. The second 3-peat Bulls wouldn't stand a chance.

First of all, you'd get ZERO OFFENSE from Longley and Rodman. That leaves only three players you have to worry about...Jordan, Pippen, and Harper/Kerr. I don't think the three of them would score enough points to win. So Jordan would constantly be double-triple teamed, and remember, he doesn't like to pass.

You would have KC Jones (one of the greatest defensive guards ever) guard Jordan, with Bill Russell waiting in the paint. And playing with 1950's-60's rules, Jordan would not have a free ride to the hoop.

The 91-92 Bulls would probably fare better, with Cartwright and Horace Grant. At least they'd get SOME offense from them, and give the Celtics someone to worry about besides Jordan.

Answer 6

The Bulls were too athletic for the 50s, though some of those teams were better than you think. The Celtics and Hawks in particular.
In the 60s, the Bulls would have won NONE until maybe 1968.
The Celtics were a deep machine, and Wilt's ' 67 Sixers were great. ' 72 Lakers beat them too. Kareem's Bucks might have them too at some point.

Answer 7

For me it became 60s listening to Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin then got here the 70s with Allman brothers ,grateful useless any bands that were blusy/southern rock.thanks for the question.

Answer 8

Well they would have gone undefeated a couple of years, and won the championship every year they played.
