Let’s say we’re not blindly dropping them into today’s league with no understanding of how the league has evolved but assuming they’ve adjusted and played vs today’s teams/players for a couple years.

If given a few years to adjust to the league 4-5 of them. The 2022 Warriors are a little hard to judge since I don’t think they really beat any truly great teams.

I meant to vote for 7, but voted for 6 by mistake.

All 6 title-winning Bulls teams + 1 that MJ came back for mid-season.

Bro absolutely none of them lol they get absolutely washed they can’t shoot

OP states they're not just getting dropped in the league without time to adjust/acclimate.

With time to adjust all of em would compete and make it to the finals probably 4-5 win.

BJ Armstrong, John Paxson, Steve Keer can't shoot?

The triple 6ft3 and under lineup doesn’t seem great

Between five and seven (the titles plus 1990). I voted five.

EDIT: I was just imagining a best of seven against GSW, not a full season.

Just say you don't know anything about those players abilities, cause you don't. They would do just fine as they did in their own era. Especially if given the time to prep as the Op states.

Even though those teams we're quite modern for the time by not relying on a center to anchor their defense, I still think they have a high number of guys who could be exploited defensively outside of their big 3s. But really it's hard to say, I think a lot of this depends on what you feel MJ would be in the current league and how he'd adjust but also what their 3-8 would be like. Pippen definitely seems like a great archetype for the modern game, as does Horace Grant.

I'd say 4 or 5 here. With '98, '93 and '97 being the most suspect in that order. The others '91, '92, and '96 being pretty confident in just due to their overwhelming talent.

92, 93, 96

So 3 teams.

BJ Armstrong and John Paxon are 6'2. Same as Kyrie and Dame, and Steve Kerr is 6'3. Same as Curry, Ja, Holiday to name a few. So why do they need to grow any taller again? They'd be solid Role players.

Because the only lineups that surround Jordan or pippin with spacing would be a lineup with all three of them + and kukoc

So 3 teams.

The 97’ Bulls went 69-13 and that was with Rodman/Kukoc missing over half the season combined. I know the league was terrible that year but if you look at some of the guys Chicago put on the court that year I think it evens out. 43 year old Robert Parish actually started a few games that year.

I’d add 97’ it’s the last year MJ/Pip were fully healthy and not burnt out.

6 or 7.

Jordan and Pippen focusing on perimeter defense would be an absolute terror.

yea...Nah. They'd be just fine. Especially BJ Armstrong. Dude was underrated.

Sure the transition to more 3pt shooting has changed things but I would say that give those Bulls teams one season to play and they would steamroll most of this year's teams. This was not a strong Warriors team compared to 2015-2018. The better Bulls teams of the 90's would wreck them I think with a game or two to adjust defense and all that. They were so adaptable on defense with 3-4 guys who could switch onto Steph and MJ is going to go for 35-50 per game if its his prime self.

Just imagining how the Bulls would go small with either Grant or Rodman at the 5 and absolutely break the league with defense/spacing. This idea that dudes like BJ Armstrong would be unplayable in 2022 is pretty hilarious when guys like Pat Beverly are starting for playoff teams.
