Dallas and Phoenix were sort of similar (Dallas never won a title outside of beating Bron BTW). Jordan beat Phoenix, Bron lost to dallas.

Portland and OKC are also quite similar (Portland actually more successful) and again OKC never won a title at all (not sure why you said that). Both guys won those matchups.


The Spurs made the finals two years in a row in that incarnation. So did Utah. Bron split, Jordan swept. Same thing with the Dubs but I admit they were better than Seattle.

The Lakers won plenty outside of 91, obviously, you still had Magic, Worthy, Scott, Green and other core guys from the Showtime era. You could use that in place of the Spurs if you want. Jordan also had to get past the Pistons in his own conference. Right today LeBron hasn't even had an opponent as good as the Knicks or Heat of that era, let alone the Pistons.

I will give you that the Warriors are better than the Sonics were, sure.
