Hard to say. 72-10 and 15-3 in the playoffs is hard to beat.

76ers were 65-17, but most of the losses were in March
and April winding down and resting(?) for the playoffs where they were 12-1 (best ever). On might argue the Lakers were hurting in the finals sweep, but Philly swept 'em in the regular season too.

I was a huge fan of both teams, but the 76er win was so
long coming, it was that much sweeter.

Check the Moses coast to coast drive (What a Feeling):

Has any center ever moved like that?

Here's an arguement against the Bulls. I don't buy it all.
I don't think you can measure or discount Jordan's will to
win:

Hey Joe, the only person Brian Jalas is trying to convince is himself.
