Granted, there's no Jordan here, but there's greater overall talent when you go roster to roster. Kobe/Nash/Howard/Bynum would probably kick the piss out of the early 90s Lakers and the James/Wade/Bosh Heat (now that James has evidently pulled his head from his ass) would be able to run with that Bulls squad.

I think you're letting nostalgia win the day here. The comparison is pretty fair.
I think vailpass's point was that that particular series only went 5 games, and was not very competitive as the Bulls mopped the floor with the Lakers.
