Stop quoting me dumbass.
They won two fewer games with a rookie off the bench, Steve fukking Kerr, and some dude named Pete Myers replacing "THE GOAT!!!" that only happens if a team is stacked in a dogshyt era. You could replace SGA with Cooper Flag tomorrow and the Thunder ain't winning the same amount of games as they did last year. They definitely ain't winning a playoff round and going 7 against the eventual conference champs. Jordan's team did though.
The 1995 Bulls team were not the same team idiot. They lost Horace Grant who was Pippen's best teammate. We saw how many games Jordan won without Pippen and Grant
You're ignorance is showing. There's nothing inherently wrong with ignorance, it just means you don't know. It's when one is presented with new information and refuses to accept it - that ignorance veers into stupidity.
On Youtube, BJ Armstrong stated that Jordan used to push them so hard during practices for those three championship runs, that the regular season games were easier. Combine that with the infrastructure still being in place, after Jordan left, from the coaching staff (Grade A pedigree with Tex Winters, Johnny Bach, and Dave Clemons) Two All Stars and All Team Defense players with Pippen and Grant, a phenomenal rookie who hit 6 game winning shots his rookie year with the Bulls in Toni Kukoc; and Ron Harper a former all star and perennial 20ppg scorer.
There's no way on earth, anyone with a semblance of common sense can say that removing one player will completely collapse a three-peat dynastic team, even if that player is the GOAT, no team can attain a three-peat off the back of that one player. and the reason that Bulls team won a three-peat is because Jordan, unlike Bron, bought into a system from a no-name coach, where it took the ball out of Jordan's, reducing his overall stats but increasing the chances of team success.
Very few people alive have led their teams to a three-peat (only Jordan and Shaq). So, yes, the Bulls went from a three-peat to a 54 win, 2nd round exit.
When Jordan returned for a full season, they achieved another three-peat.
3-Peat > 2nd Round exit - that's the difference between a Bulls team with Jordan and a Bulls team without him.
In 30 years, low-level thinkers like yourself are going to be denigrating today's competition. Not realizing it's all relative and you can only judge the greats by how they separated themselves from their
contemporaries.
