No but it'd be a lot closer.

Jordan would average a consistent 30+ pts a game but he isn't going to fix the Bulls lack of ability to stop Giannis.

Now the fully healthy Bulls with MJ against these Bucks, that'd be interesting. I'd be tempted to pick the Bulls because playoffs MJ was someone you don't bet against.

MJ would have a rough time against Jrue. Payton gave a lot of problems to younger MJ and I'd argue that Jrue is actually better suited to guard 2nd three peat MJ (bigger, stronger, more disciplined).

Jordan would still get his, but I don't see Bulls winning it. Certainly a closer series, but still go with the Bucks.

Same result, still 4-1.

If the Bulls were fully healthy they'd probably win the series with 98 MJ, but I don't think they'd be able to pull it off if all else stays the same. They definitely wouldn't lose 4-1 , come on lol.
