Are the 90’s Bulls the greatest sports dynasty ever?

Do you believe, out of all the great teams of the past, that the 90’s Bulls were the greatest of them all? In any other decade, was another team as dominant and as embedded in the public consciousness as the Bulls?

They had two of the best players in NBA history in Jordan and Pippen. Outstanding complementary players like Rodman, Kukoc, Longley, Kerr, etc. Hall of Fame coach in Phil Jackson. There’s no question that those 90s squads were better than most teams could ever hope for.

So, do you agree or disagree about the Bulls dynasty being the best?

Probably, but it’s also probably true that the Bulls dynasty happened while a lot of us were teenagers and that nostalgia hits hard.

The Yankees during the Babe Ruth days was far more embedded, and I say that as a Braves fan who doesn't like the Yankees.

The Celtics in the 60s as well.

The Bulls with Jordan were a great dynasty, but can't say they were the most dominant of all time, and definitely not the most embedded in the consciousness. If anything I'd say they were far less embedded than the Lakers-Celtics rivalry in the 80s.

It's hard to find a team that was as dominant as they were over a long stretch of time, that's for sure. You could argue the Celtics from the 50's/60's, the Yankees from the 30s, or the Tom Brady-led Patriots, but not many others.

I love the 90's bulls and all, I grew up idolizing MJ and the bulls, but the Celtics dynasty during the 50's and 60's is probably the greatest. 10 in a row is practically impossible to beat.

Late 80s Edmonton Oilers were such a machine that they changed how the game was played.

Then, when Gretzky gets traded, they win one more, and the expansion throughout warm climates begins.

Not sure anything was as dominant as the Oilers were.

This is
The answer. 88 game winning streak plus
7 straight titles. Everyone else had the same chance to beat them in any of those years but could not.

Pro dynasty? Yes, unless you count Soviet hockey.

Yankees 96-2001 run is the best for me for modern times

Playing in 5 World Series in 6 years while winning 4 is stupid

UConn women dominated when talent was low. Geno is great and figured out how to dominate the era, but they outclassed most of their opponents. I’d say USC baseball is probably similar.

Perhaps, but had the most overrated coach in NBA history. Didn't see Phil Jackson take the Nets or Wizards job did we?

Pippin is overrated and 90s basketball was watered down with 19 year olds getting $90 million contracts.

Lakers and Magic had to work for their 5 Titles in the 80s.
