Chicago won six titles in eight years during that time period, establishing a legacy that lives on to this day. Those Bulls\u2019 teams are considered some of the greatest the NBA has seen, and the 1995-96 team is seen as the all-time best team by many observers for going 72-10 on their way to their fourth title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Final Dance - Bill Cartwright names the BEST Bulls team of the 90&#039;s - BetOnline.ag\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B39g8x7DMwI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, one Bulls\u2019 legend doesn\u2019t believe that record setting team was the best during the 1990s. Former center Bill Cartwright was part of Chicago\u2019s first threepeat, and he believes that one of the earlier teams was better. Was it the 1990-91 Bulls that won 61 games and beat the Showtime Lakers for their first title or the 1991-92 squad that went 67-15 and beat Portland to win back-to-back titles? No, and Cartwright\u2019s answer may surprise you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026You asked about what was our best championship year? Our best championship was probably the one we didn\u2019t play. It was when our star signed up to be a baseball player. I felt that that year when we lost to the Knicks, that would have been by far our easiest championship\u2026but that\u2019s a question that will never be answered and we\u2019ll have to get past that\u201d, Cartwright told BetOnline when asked about the best Chicago team during the 1990s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 1993-94 Bulls were eliminated by the New York Knicks in seven games in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, but many of the players that were role players on Chicago\u2019s previous teams came into their own during that season. Scottie Pippen averaged a career-high 22 PPG, shooting 49.1 percent from the floor that year, and Horace Grant, B.J. Armstrong, and Toni Kukoc had some of their best seasons too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phil Jackson did an excellent job motivating that team, as Chicago won 55 games without the greatest player in the history of basketball. That was just two fewer wins than they registered when they won their third straight title the previous season. However, they couldn\u2019t get past the rough and tumble Knicks, losing to the eventual Eastern Conference champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Putting Michael Jordan on that team would have probably led to a fourth straight title for the Bulls. Although the production of the other contributors would have suffered as a result, the thought of the role players peaking with Jordan in his prime is a scary one, and the Houston Rockets are glad that His Airness decided to spend the spring and summer in Birmingham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>With more than 20 years of experience in sports betting,&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/\"><em>BetOnline<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;has become the top spot for getting some action on the game.
