‘96 Bulls Versus ’67 76ers? It’s No Contest
In reply to Wilt Chamberlain and his comments on Michael Jordan and the current Bulls against his 76er team from 1967: First, who would guard Jordan and Pippen? Wally Jones and Hal Greer?
Second, as far as [the number of] weak teams now, how about Baltimore then, with 20 wins all season; Detroit with 30, and Western Division leader San Francisco, with 44?
Get real, Wilt. The majority of today’s players are faster, stronger, can sky higher (with the exception of you) and are in far better condition than those of 30 years ago.
