NBA 2K23 launched a week ago and fans have already started showing off their latest builds.
Gamers are rushing to build the best version of NBA legends on the MyPlayer Builder under MyCareer. The game mode has received major upgrades and additions, such as new badges, takeovers and attributes.
NBA 2K introduced new builds and an exciting new feature called "Easter Egg Builds." Through this, you can build replicas of NBA players instead of receiving shades of three.
On that note, let's take a look at one of the most unstoppable teams in league history, the 1996 Chicago Bulls.
Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman haunted opponents as Chicago recorded a three-peat between from 1996 and 1998. The Hall of Fame duo of Jordan and Pippen got the best rebounder in basketball in Rodman to create an unstoppable trio.
They won 72 games in the 1995-96 season, an NBA record they held for 20 years, and won the title in Jordan's first season back from retirement. Outside of the modern era, many still believe the '96 Bulls can measure up to any team in league history.

Michael Jordan - 3-Level Scorer
Michael Jordan was arguably the greatest scorer in league history. He racked up 10 scoring titles, by far the most in the NBA, and did so while accumulating defensive team selections as well.
Jordan will not let the team lose without a fight and will stop at nothing to get a bucket against any defense. This build will get you closest to "His Airness" in NBA 2K23.
