Man, I miss this team. I still think they're the greatest ever.

Originally posted by XSUPREMEXSKILLZYes, but either way it's not about being a great fit it's about producing results. I believe if both were in their prime years, Wade and LeBron would have dominate. Specifically 06-09 Wade, current or 05-08 LeBron and Raptors Bosh.
Yeah, but that's because Lebron and Wade are so great that they can win two rings not being a great fit. 👆Mostly Lebron, though. 😉

Tbh, peak Lebron is 09-14, in terms of both statistics and team accomplishments/personal accolades. And you're also forgetting that the 95-96 Bulls didn't even have peak Jordan, who existed from '87 to '93. I think that the Heat's big three all at their peak are better than the Bulls big 3 at their peak, (Rodman was an inept scorer compared to Bosh, Wade is better than Scottie, and peak Lebron vs peak Jordan is a wash,) but the Bulls big 3 fit together seamlessly, in a way that didn't take away from what they were good at, (Rodman and Pippen weren't stealing points from Jordan, Jordan and Pippen weren't stealing rebounds from Rodman, etc). Whereas that was an issue with Wade and Lebron until Wade ultimately deferred to him.

If Pippen, Jordan and Rodman were in their primes, they'd spank the Heat. When they faced the Jazz both Rodman and Pippen had back problems, IIRC. No way the Heat would take the Bulls.
Wade had terrible knees by the time Lebron joined the Heat. The supporting cast of the Bulls gives them the edge, but if the Heat had PEAK Wade and Bosh, and if the Bulls big 3 were also at their peak, that's a great series.

Heats big 3 is better at offense, but not defense.
Originally posted by XSUPREMEXSKILLZI would agree with what you said about, but i rather look at peak abilities. Mid 2000s were LeBron's true young athletic peak years. I did not forgot about 95-96 Jordan because i am not looking into the years they play but just how good they would have been in their primes. With that being said, honestly, following my logic i guess the 03-04 Lakers would have been the greatest team of all time 😛

Originally posted by Zack MUmm i think we can get a good picture of them in their prime better than James, Bosh and Wade, because all we need to do is imagine Piston/Spurs Rodman in the 90-93 Bulls.

anyone seen last dance? its a chicago bulls docu-series chronicling their 1998 season. its currently on episode 8 right now. its really good!
I've been watching and to be slightly more accurate it looks at Jordan's entire career, but it does have a lot of unaired footage from his final season with the team which was the 97-98 season. Though there is still plenty of stuff that doesn't have to do with the 97-98 season.
I actually had the privilege of seeing MJ play at the United Center in 1998. And I remember the entire city of Chicago was buzzing about Da Bulls once the championship games began that summer.
