I didn’t give an opinion so why are you debating? The numbers, interest, popularity all points to that era.
LBJ ending vs MJ ending

People were winning off LeBron he wasn't stopping anyone from winning shiit. He "stopped" OKC from getting a ring, then KD ate his food twice. Steph already had a ring when the Cavs beat them and then took 2 more from buddy. SA already had rings when Miami beat them and then they beat them again.
The numbers, interest and popularity all points to M*A*S*H* as being the best tv show ever if that's how you want to go about it.
It's obviously not true, and neither is your comment about 1990s basketball.

False equivalency, the 90s NBA was about competition 1st which is what most real fans care about. Without these nowadays players truly caring about competition 1st, all that advanced analytics, pull up hesi, pull up from 30, personal branding, generational money means little interest to real fans. It’s not rocket science.
Most civilizations would have killed to have a King that gracious. Everybody eats.

More rudimentary posting from your retarded ass
The 1990s were a lower scoring era overall, the percentage of his team’s points that Pippen contributed exceeded Wade and was akin to Kyrie's. MJ was chucking taking damn near 30 FGA per game and Pippen still averaged 20 while leading the Bulls in damn near every statistical category for several playoff runs
Only a dummy would look at those numbers and the context behind their roles and conclude that Pippen was inferior. Not to mention those Bulls teams played in a weak ass era where most teams didn't even have a number one option as good as Pippen
Except I actually watched this era ,you can gas pippen all you want dude the most non clutch star ever
He never did the shyt kyrie did in the finals or what ad did in wcf or what wade did vs Indiana . It don’t matter if the pace was slower or scoring was down back then pippen never relieved Jordan of doing everything EVER, that’s my point
Scoring 20 ppg while guarding Stacey augmen or Derrick McKee weak asses ain’t as impressive as putting up 27 ppg/40 from 3 and hitting the championship clinching shot in 2016 over a top 5 defense goofy. Lebron has had more talent(from teams he created) than Jordan and still won less & youre
Ok so now you're changing your argument.
You literally just stated numbers, interest and popularity.
Now it's about competition....which...I don't know how the 90s has a stronger argument for better competition when the league was fresh into the expansion era.
Hell, forget about the champions of the 90s.
Look at the teams that lost NBA Finals in the 90s. Those teams are laughable compared to the NBA Finals losers of the last 15 years.
Competition is absolutely better today.
If you just look at the Chicago Bulls' record against the following expansion teams during their 2nd 3-peat (1996-1998):
Charlotte Hornets
Miami Heat
Orlando Magic
Minnesota Timberwolves
Toronto Raptors
Vancouver Grizzlies
The Bulls went a combined 41-11 (79%)
Sure. Talk to me about how competitive it was.

I’m not interested in your opinions breh, I’m giving context of why numbers, interest and popularity made the 90s the pinnacle of the NBA. The players put competition 1st above everything else. Real NBA fans care more about the players going all out competing than they do about all the other shyt that you like.
Except you aren't giving any argument, reason, evidence to support that statement.

The NBA is literally international now and in terms of numbers globally has never been more popular as to why guys are making 30 mil being role players. Stfu.

Yeah and Isaiah Thomas got 2, Bird got 2 and Magic got 4, Hakeem got 1 and Shaq got 2 during Jordan’s career. So what the fukk are you talking about?
Bird's lifetime numbers against Jordan: 27/9/6 on 50/47/93 shooting splits and a 61% win percent across 24 games
Bird famously swept Jordan in the playoffs twice, but even in the regular season Bird elevated his game when MJ was on the court. Long after Larry's back gave out, Bird managed to suit up against MJ in 1991 where he dropped a masterpiece 36 points; including 4 straight fade away jumpers in overtime and then a game winning shot while being doubled by MJ and Scottie.

I actually used ChatGPT to compile the Bulls record against those expansion teams to show you how unbalanced the competition in the 90s was.Go chatgpt it or keep your head in the sand, either way
