Durant, Harden, Irving-led Nets defeat Jordan, Pippen, Rodman-led Bulls in simulated playoff matchup

Many are anticipating the Brooklyn Nets will have a season of historic proportions, but NBA fans young and old wonder how this Eastern juggernaut would stack up to titans of year's past. 

 Using the WhatIfSports Simulator Engine, Nets Insider was able to pit the 2020-2021 Nets (sorry the 2021-2022 squad isn't available just yet), against the record-setting 72-10, 1995-1996 Bulls squad in a seven-game series. 

 The outcome wasn't exactly what many would expect as the dynasty Bulls fell in five games to the talented, but trophy-less Nets.

WhatIfSports is a sports fan's dream as you can concoct historic matchups along with modern day contests for simulated outcomes. The series simulation went as follows.

GAME 1

GAME 2

GAME 3

GAME 4

GAME 5

Remarkably, even without home court advantage, the Nets knockoff the Bulls in five games. 

The battle of superstars goes Brooklyn's way. While Chicago has six titles in the trophy case and two separate three-peats, Brooklyn is aiming to fill its case for the first time in franchise history.
