Late 80-Early 90 NBA.......

Yeah, I remember watching that live. Definitely an "oohhh sheet" moment. Of course they still couldn't beat the Bulls. Heh.
Very few NBA teams during the 1990's could argue they could consistently beat the Bulls, except for perhaps Indiana Pacers, and strangely enough, a Western Conference team that won the two NBA championships in Jordan's absence from Chicago in the mid-90's---the Houston Rockets.

Seriously, go back and review the win-loss records of NBA teams who played against Chicago from the mid-80's to the late 90's: one of the few teams with a clear, winning record against Jordan's Bulls were the Houston Rockets. That stat makes me wonder if a team like Houston with guys like Akeem, Clyde Drexler, Maxwell, Sam Cassell had gone up against the Bulls in their prime in 1991-92, 92-93, I wonder if the outcome mightve been a bit different. Robert Horry has always contended that Phil Jackson wouldn't have known how to game-plan or scheme around such a dominant player like Akeem.
