Of course they were! That's the BEST record in history topped off with a title, and the LEADING player of that team MICHAEL JORDAN had got every MVP possible that year(all-star, season, finals). So no matter if it was in the 90's, 80's , 60's, 2000's, or whatever era, it's in the RECORD BOOKS as the BEST RECORD in history.....and like this certain MJ hater ( Tweety ) says, THE RECORDS DON'T LIE!!!!!! The 96 BULLS IS THE GREATEST TEAM IN HISTORY LED BY THE GREATEST PLAYER IN HISTORY, MJ ( 3 MVPS THAT YEAR)!!!!!
P.S. Everyone Tweety is this MJ hater that dig in MJ's record book & bring up his worst years against him. His/Hers favorite quote is, "THE RECORDS DON'T LIE & THERE IS NO EXCUSES"! Well Tweety, how about that record for you? The record books makes 72-10 the best team in history, and the record books show that the team was led by MJ (All 82 games & 3 MVPs that year). If MJ takes credit for his losing seasons, well it's only fair that he takes credit for the winning seasons!

I definitely agree with you. There was no better basketball team than the 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls.

I'd have to say it's the team whose record they beat: the 1972-73 LA Lakers. The Lakers went 69-13 that year. Their roster boasted Hall-of-Famers Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor (although he retired early that year), Bill Sharman and Gail Goodrich. As a team they shot 49% from the field while opponents shot 43% against them (while commiting only 20 fouls per game) and shot 73% from the line - even with Wilt. They averaged 56 rebounds per game and 27 assists per game. They averaged 121 points a game while giving up 108 for a 13 point differential.
While the Bulls have the better season record, there were more teams which translates to a dilution of talent. In particular it was due to two new expansion teams (Grizzlies and Raptors) that year. Combine that with scheduling changes instituted that year (playing teams in your division more and the other divisions less instead of all equally) that would count for an easy 10 wins (2 from the Grizzlies in Vancouver then and 8 from the Raptors). There are 30 teams in the NBA which translates to 360 players (30 teams x 12 players). In 1972, there were only 22 teams (264 players) and no new expansion teams. If you remove the bottom 100 players and then divide the remaining talent equally, you'd have a much more competitive league making wins harder to come by.
And they did win the NBA title that year. Sweeping the Bulls in the first round, beating the Bucks (with Oscar Robertson and league MVP Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) 4-2 in the second round and beating the Knicks 4-1 in the finals.
I'd put the 72-73 Lakers up against any team in history and they'd come out ahead; especially in a 7 game finals-like series.

You are probably in exactly the same boat as the great majority of sports gamblers up and down the united states who are dropping way more than they actually win. You might have the occasional win that keeps you finding its way back for more, but all of the time your choices lose. And that fees you ever more money!
