Could Russell's Celtics Hang With Jordan's Bulls?

Or is the advances between decades too hard to overcome?

sports science wins. If we could eliminate that though I think the Cs would have beat them.

Absolutely Not, Bulls would sweep or win in 5.

That's what I'm thinking,,,

But Russell was a crazy good defender with incredible hops. There would be nothing easy at the rim but the Bulls overall team speed and athleticism would probably be the difference.

Russell's Celtics would have found a way.

BANK ON IT!

Rodman would be a key player but neither were big pieces of the offense so the game would be played outside in I think and that edge has to go to the Bulls with Pippen and MJ.

Absolutely - they were good enough to win, but the league was really soft in Jordan's era

Jordan Bulls would have probably killed the Russell Celtics. Who would have been able to stay with Pippen or Jordan?

Russell won 11 championships in a row - Jordan was good, but not that good

Has there ever been a good NBA forum anywhere? It sucked at CBS, sucked at ESPN, and it looks like this one sucks too....lmao

Actually it was 11 in 13 years, and 8 in a row... and the "Celtics" won those Championships, not Russell.

I do think that Jordan and his team could have won more had they played more, but I still give the edge to Russell and the championships the Celtics won - they played some very tough games against the Lakers as well.

Not against the Bulls or the NBA at that time. Some of the players back then wouldn't even make an NBA squad in the 80's - 90's.

I am pretty sure a team with like 6 HOFers could have found a way to compete with a team with 2. LOL.

Different times though. The league is way more advanced now than it was in the 60s. The Bulls and probably almost all the 90s teams would beat any great team in the 50s-60s.

The question should be the other way around.

Russell's Celtics LOVED playing, and BEATING, teams with supposedly better players!

Yes if they were in the same era maybe.

So youre saying the Bulls from 90's would get crushed and dominated by the Heat from this current generation??? Cuz you are talking basically the same amount of time between the 2.
