The Bulls built their team through drafting and wise FA moves. Miami's team is totally different.
Jordan was drafted. Pippen was essentially drafted, as Krause worked a trade for him after falling in love with him and swapping him with Seattle for Olden ****ing Polynice. Kukoc was drafted...and so on.
Paxton, Armstrong were like that as well. The second team had more FA role players like Kerr, Longley, Ron Harper...

I'm 42 and was a Bulls fan from Jordan's rookie year. I'm well aware of the construction. A super team is a super team. I'll agree that Jordan had less early on than Lebron does now, but the second 3 peat was a pretty loaded roster. As were Shaq and Kobe's Lakers. I think how you get there is irrelevant as long as you make it work. The Heat have a long damn way to go to be talked about with those teams.
I understand the LeBron hatred. His bullshit when the team was formed rubbed me as wrong as anyone. I respect what they've done and the streak is impressive regardless of era. Basketball then and now is night and day.
