Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green wants basketball fans to stop comparing the times and different playstyles.
But he also wants them to know that the 2017 Warriors team is fine with Michael Jordan’s ’98 and ’96 Chicago Bulls teams.
The debate, including the current era of NBA stars and Jordan, is nothing new. After all, the question of who is the greatest player ever between his Airness and LeBron James is terribly debated, and it’s natural to compare the recent Warriors dynasty with the Bulls dynasty of the 1990s. is.
The 1995-96 Bulls won 72 NBA-recorded games with the 2015-16 Warriors breaking the record with 73 wins. The biggest difference, however, is that the Chicago team won the championship, while the Golden State team lost to James’ Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals.
Notably, Green said the 2017 Warriors would beat MJ’s Bulls. That’s because the team added Kevin Durant and won the first consecutive title.
The style is certainly different, as the Golden State launches threes apart from the floor and Chicago relies on Jordan’s individual brilliance and physicality. Perhaps the biggest question is what role does Steve Kerr play, given that he was a keen guard for the Bulls and head coach for the Warriors.
Perhaps Green should ask his coach to consider the discussion, as he is very familiar with both sides.
