Who Wins in a 7-Game Series: 1986 Celtics or 1996 Bulls?

Two of the greatest teams in NBA history. The ’86 Celtics went 67–15, led by Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, and Bill Walton off the bench — dominant at home and loaded with Hall of Famers. The ’96 Bulls went 72–10, with Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman leading one of the best defensive units ever. Both teams defined their eras. If they met in a best-of-7, who takes it? #NBA #Celtics #Bulls #GOATDebate #NBAHistory #NBAWhatIf #Sports

I got the Bulls. Only because McHale and Walton were always injured. The other issue is once these injuries happen the Celtics ain't getting ti the rim because of the Bulls have to top 10 all time perimeter defenders who can block shots and are two of the best theifs in history on the same team. So Rodman on Perish which I think Rodman will shut him down. Then Pippen on Bird. No Celtic is going to stop Jordan. Because the Celtics best inside defenders will more than likely be injured. The only way the Celtics would win is if McHale and Walton are healthy.
