  1. Sorry, there is not comparison! getting bodied in the 90's was tough on all the players.
    If Curry or Durant got bodied like that they would have been injured a lot more IMO.

  2. Why is this even here?

    One team has 3 all time defensive players and can guard the other. The other team has mediocre at best defensive players and has zero shot at guarding the other.

    I don't need to explain which team is which do I? The Kobe / Shaq championship team would be more of an interesting challenge.

  3. This guy is 100% incorrect on his matchups and who is better. He gives way too much credit to Kevin Durant and no where near enough to Scotty Pippen.

    First off, Pippen had to go through much more to get to where he was and better players than KD which is why I give him the edge.

    2nd, there is no double team of Durant. There is Pip guarding him one on one and Rodman at times but never will they need to double. Pip was a great enough defender to hold KD to the mid to low 20s in scoring and thatā€™s enough.

    3rd, Steph Curry is very much a non-factor in this season. Curry is a great shooter and no one can ever take that from him. But he is either going to be matched up with an elite defender in Harper who doesnā€™t have to do anything but defend him or an all time great elite defender in Jordan who Will absolutely destroy him on both ends. Regardless or who it is curry is a non factor and guess what, it doesnā€™t get any better in point 4.

    4th, Klay Thompson is only a little more of a factor than Curry and not much. Why? Same reason curry isnā€™t a factor, he is matched with an elite defender that will never give him an open shot. Klay is the better player of him and curry in terms of all around player. Curry is a great shooter when he can get free to create trouble but doesnā€™t offer much on the defensive end. Klay plays both ends and at times can get as hot as Steph. But once again he will have MJ on him who will not give him one open look or Harper (most likely Harper) who will smother him non stop and not worry about scoring. Either way the warriors back court is getting owned.

    Rodman vs Green is the warriors best match up but I still take Rodman. Green is a little (and I mean very little) better at help D but Rodman is much better at one on one. (So Durant would likely see a little DR too) Rodman is the better rebounder as well.

    One thing that is also very under valued is the fact that teams with all time great defenders tried to stop Jordan and while the pistons did get the best of the bulls before they learned how to win they never got the best of Jordan. This is a man who took apart anyone that challenged him as the best player and he did it on both ends.

    Iā€™m sorry young peps but the warriors might make it to game 6 but thatā€™s it. I donā€™t think they make it that far though. The bulls ran a very efficient and effective offense in those physical days so if you take it to this level they only get better at being great but they still are the better defense team and I think it might go to 6 (5 most likely). Take to the 90s and itā€™s a bulls broomsticking the warrior most likely.

  4. Stupid question…..one team 3 peated twice .the other coukdnt defeat a cavs team in a soooft no defense era

  5. Pippen and Jordan are the best perimeter defenders ever. Rodman one of the greatest defender and rebounder of all time. Harper was no slouch in defense neither. Jordan claiming curry, Pippen frustrating KD, Harper containing Klay, Rodman clamping Draymond. The warriors donā€™t have the defense to stop the bulls triangle offense. Bulls in 6 and only because the bulls players partied the night before games.

  6. It don't matter if you guard steph tho…he's still going to hit every three, and then klay and durant…come on now, yall bulls and Jordan fans on some shit all the time. Yall are like cowboys fans for realšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ I'm not saying they will sweep them…and Phil may be the only person to game plan and be the x factor so the bulls win a game 7 series but yall act like they are invincible. Steph would have them annoyed like shit bx it doesn't matter if you guard him he's still hitting that shit. He did it over and over again lmao

  7. With current rules MJ scores even easier, think about that. Everyone from the bulls scores easier with todays rules, plus they actually play defense.

    If old rules then GS experiences hardship they haven't ever experienced in their lives.

  8. Bulls. Why? Because people easily forget that in game 1 of the western conference finals, Khawi Leonard was murdering the Warriors on both ends of the floor. The Spurs led by as many as 25 pts before he got injured and sat out the rest of the game and series. Now add a Rodman, Pip and MJ with their suffocating defense and MJ on offense, the Bulls in 6.

  9. What eras rules is the q?….handchecking of 90s? Or mor O-flow of 10s.
    If bulls contain klay, curry and KD from going off Bulls…if curry lightsout GSW as KD will put 60%2

    The biggest matchup is grant/rodman vs Green…who protects their superstar better.

    Dray/Iggy would shine in 90s D …might contain MJ( klay on piipen)…but could curry handle 4 guys who could switch and guard within kerrs double screen system.

  10. I think jordan is on curry, haper is on clay, pippin and rodmen will defend KD. The bulls in 6 this is a great defensive team with great shooting.

  11. I will take the Bulls of the 90s over the The present day GS Warriors because the Bulls defense is better. The GS Warriors offense is led by And Steph Curry's three point shooting. I believe the Bulls with their defense could throw Curry off his rhythm. once that is done then Jordan can go into destroy mode. Curry can't guard Jordan.

  12. The warriors wouldnt stand a chance because Michael Jordan cant be stopped Especially in the finals and Scottie Pippen gone kill them on both ends offensively and on defense. Curry,Klay and Durant will be locked down on defense.

    Durant might get a few in but the other guys getting shut down Quickly.

    They gone find out that Ron Harper better than they know defensively

    and the warriors will get no rebounds with Rodman the only way the warriors win is if they miss no shots at all.

    They didnt even beat Kyrie and Bron aka. mr.flop

    how they think they gone beat 72-10 bulls its not happening its nice to have a dream tho!! šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

  13. The 2 teams are evenly matched, The difference maker here is the Coach; Phil Jackson would out coach Steve Kerr.

  14. 96 Bulls Jordan had his worst Finals Rodman should of been Finals MVP. 2017 Warriors would dog walk Jordan and the 96 Bulls if the both played their best. MJ couldn't stop Chris Jackson who played similar to Steph.

  15. Bulls didnt have enough offensive power to keep up with 2017 Warriors.

  16. As someone who actually got to watch both teams in real time as they happened not just highlights & I say Bulls in 5 or 6 only because Iā€™m accounting for maybe & I Really Mean šŸ‘‰šŸ½MAYBEšŸ‘ˆšŸ½ GSW gets Hotā˜„ļø1 or 2 gamesā€¦. now donā€™t get me started with the rules factor of it all because if we go with 96 rules w/ hand checkn GSW is gonna blow their only advantage IMO the Fast pace because when those defensive hounds in red/blk start šŸ”’lockn up on D itā€™s gonna make it hard for warriors to even get the ball over halfcourt sufficiently I mean weā€™ve already seen KD n Curry really donā€™t like u getting physical with them weā€™ve seen them kinda faltering & getting frustrated with the Very Lil bit of Physicality they allow nowadays imagine the greatest defensive backcourt MJ/Pip/Harper guardin them 94ft turning,twisting & gripping them all game playin a way more taxing defense than any they deal with todayāž• Bulls even had a scrappy Matthew Dely/Avery Bradley/Bruce Brown type player in Randy Brown as well as your Maxi Struse/Austin Reaves type in Jud Buchler Comin of the bench to come in spot Min. Here In there chasing n & being disruptive ā€¦ā€¦SOO then who u gonna ask Draymond to bring the ball up??ā€¦..PLEASE DO!!ā€¦. because then we giving the Master Manipulator in Rodman the gift šŸŽ of BrainFā€™n a Hot HeadšŸ¤¬like Draymond that would be B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L to watch his frustration buildin up lol as Rodman start šŸ—œLAMPN down, out Rebound,Manhandle & probably sexually harassingšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Dray into losing it lol!! & then if we use todayā€™s soft Azz Rules u turning Jordan SUPERSAIYAN every game so good luck with that strategy as well šŸ¤”šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™‚ļø

  17. GSW lost with Curry and no KD
    GSW lost with Curry and with KD
    JORDAN NEVER LOST IN THE FINALS
    i'll go with a known quantity

  18. Idk I think the warriors best playerā€¦curry is also their weaknessā€¦sure no doubt offensively harper would have a tough timeā€¦on the flip side..can curry guard harper?? I donā€™t think so..Iā€™m any eraā€™s rulesā€¦harper was super underrated during this time..his role during the bulls run was mostly defense but harp can score if needed

  19. Bulls would probably sweep them Harper Pip and MJ would bury the splash bros and Rodman would have DG out of every game in foul trouble and drawing Techs

  20. 2017 Warriors have a chance if Old Kerr remembers what Young Kerr lived through and Old Kerr communicates how the game played out and the Warriors execute effectively based on Old Kerr's knowledge of the game he already played as Young Kerr.

  21. The Bulls were athletic enough to switch everything if they wanted to! As good as KD was Rodman and Pippen could guard KD at times. Green wouldnā€™t be as effective running their offense against the Bulls defense! MJ would foul out Iggy and Klay! Bulls in 6 at the most!

  22. Chicago Bulls win. Golden State go too shooting is that boring 3 pointer. No one on that team could stop Jordan and Pippen.

  23. You undersell Harper vs Curry. Harper was a premier perimeter defender and a 20 point scorer before joining Chicago. If Curry was forced into having to defend as well, it doesnā€™t bode well for GSW. Also, Pippen could get up in KD. As you have seen, he tends to struggle against that. Also, Pippen and Rodman would have been able to switch back and forth during the game with who they guarded. Mike and Harper too. Without any drop off.

  24. 1996 bulls with the GOAT would win. No doubt. In a series, definitely the 1996 Bulls.

  25. Steve Kerr coming off the bench for the bulls and coaching the Warriors at the same time is conflict of interests. Lol
