So basically the Bulls could sleepwalk thru the east finals at least until the finals and then they could turn it on for the Finals. You dont need a dominant big man in a conference full of semi retarded players and teams that would get spanked by a high school squad.

Kobe and the Lakers have had to play teams like the Spurs, Mavs, Suns, Blazers, Kings...all 55+ win teams that would have killed Jordan's Bulls. Duncan and Robinson against Luc Longley and Rodman?! LMAO Please, Spurs would have swept the Bulls, even letting Jordan score 50 a night. That Webber, Bibby, Peja Kings team of the early 2Ks would have torn the Bulls a new one too. Who did the Bulls play that even mattered in the east? Ehlo and the Cavs? Reggie and the Pacers? Decent teams but nowhere near the talent of the teams in the west from 2000 on.

So that comparison is retarded. Every other championship team aside from Jordan's Bulls had a dominant center.
