Could Stephs' 2017 Warriors defeat Jordans' 1996 Bulls? Broussard decides | NBA | FIRST THINGS FIRST

Steph Curry “absolutely” believes his 2017 Golden State Warriors could beat Michael Jordan's 1996 Chicago Bulls in 7-game series: “I’d say Dubs in 6”. Chris Broussard and Nick Wright decide whether or not they agree with Steph's hypothetical assessment.

@@ruelandrade5185 1996 Bulls would beat the 2017 Warriors in a 7 game series. It would be close but Jordan would probably be the deciding factor. SRS which computes a score given a teams margin of victory throughout the season adjusted for strength of schedule, basically measures how good a team was for a given season. Where an SRS score of 0 is average. 96 Bulls had an SRS of 11.80 and the 2017 Warriors had an SRS of 11.35, both are in the all time top 5 SRS's. Reddit users UnlikelyTicket created a metric using the SRS to rank the all time most difficult runs to a championship basically how difficult were your opponents. The 96 Bulls are ranked 14th and the 2017 Warrior are 21st. The 96 Bulls went 72-10 with an SRS score of 11.80 and the 14th most difficult championship run and won. Q.E.D the 96 Bulls would beat the 2017 Warrirors.

And we got the greatest shooter of all time open shooting 45% from 3 taking 25 shots, Durant a 50% FG shooter taking 30 shots Klay a 42% 3pt shooter taking 22 shots.

The Bulls win.... why best line up vs best line up... the Bulls have the better defenders.... Jordan Pippen Harper (greatest perimeter defense of all time) vs Steph, Klay, Andre (not bad but stef would get exposed quickly) Toni Kukcoc (solid defender not great but makes it up with 3 point shooting) vs Durant (Durant wins this battle) K Dennis Rodman (Greatest rebounder and defender of all time, who is gonna stop him from getting boards) vs Draymond (Rodman wins this battle) .... Oh yeah, Bulls bigger and stronger at every position. Defense wins championships.

[@DANGERProductions2020]

I think the ‘96 Bulls would have a pretty good shot at beating the Warriors considering the Rockets nearly did beat them in 2018 (and probably would have beaten them had CP3 not gotten injured). And that Rockets team was worse than the Bulls in pretty much every facet of the game.

[@glenn8886]

18 Warriors' depth is much worse than 17 Warriors', 17 Warriors' depth is elite as well.

That’s not true. Everyone who gave them material minutes in the 2017 playoffs was also on their 2018 playoff roster, other than Ian Clark. Plus they added Looney, Young, Cook and Bell. If anything, they were deeper in 2018.

The Bulls would win in 6. Not only did they play much better defense but they were mentally tougher. If you put that Bulls team played in Golden States era, the Bulls would be even more unstoppable. If you do the reverse, the Worriors would not be as effective.

[@georgebowman1060]

The Bulls dominated their era. Warriors haven't dominated their era in a 10 year span like Chicago. Jordon probably would have had 8 rings if not for 2 years off in between those 2 three peats.

[@jahleelx9270]

[@thehondarice]

Warriors have too much shooting. The Bulls back then aren't as athletic as new players. Jordan was so amazing because he was doing stuff people never saw but now every great player has those tangibles. The Bulls aren't a shooting team, so KD, Klay, and Steph would shoot their lights out. The bulls have great Defense, but they aren't used to defending a ball movement team like the Warriors. Warriors are clearly better; I understand Jordan is great, but the nostalgia of Jordan doesn't out shadow the team of the Warriors and the talent.

[@dettol3647]

Chris with the most ridiculous take, no way Bulls are winning a game on the 17 warriors… they’re getting swept

[@juansute8550]

Warriors gave Cavs a gentleman's sweep in 2017 and swept in 2018. CAVS won only a single game in two finals with KD and Steph together. Warrior's averaged 121 points in 2017 finals and Bulls averaged 93 points. Have a think about this. One game Bulls only scored 78 in a game. What!

If you add context to the scoring averages, there were rule changes to speed up the game to give more offensive possessions which would lead to more scoring.

[@user-oe4wr9tn2n]

@@Baccanaso THe defenses are worse because the three point threat has spaced the floor out for players giving them far more room to work with.

After watching what the Celtics just did to KD & Kyrie, the defense of Jordan's Bulls would be an absolute nightmare for the KD/Curry Warriors.

[@tigerscott5929]

I disagree because the 2017 Warriors’ offense is far different from the 2022 Celtics’ offense. They were successful because KD had Steph and Klay on the perimeter to divert attention off KD. Really, all of them diverted the defensive attention off one another. So that’s why they made scoring look so effortless. They would do that to anyone’s defense. Even the ‘96 Bulls

Style of play. Rockets were literally designed to beat the warriors with switching, 3 point shooting and defense. They had multiple guys that could hit 3s and defend. Bulls had defense. That's about it.

[@joeltorre2200]

In 96, that was the Worm's first season with the Bulls after a tumultuous year with San Antonio. It was also the GOAT's first full season after his semi-retirement. JOrdan was in revenge mode after his Bulls were beaten by Shaq and PEnny in the 95 EC Semis. The Bulls can go big with Longley at Center and they can go small with Kukoc at Center. IT will be a gentleman's sweep for the GOAT.

I'm from Chicago. I think Jordan is the GOAT. I love that 96 team. That team is my favorite basketball team ever. They would be destroyed by the 17 warriors. This isn't a debate. You insult the game of basketball saying otherwise. Like 20 years of basketball evolution and refinement means nothing? This is so stupid. Coaching is better, player nutrition, training, skill sets, and practices are better. Now add the fact that that bulls team would be facing the 1st and 2nd best shooter in nba history, along with possibly the best scorer of all time in KD and a godly defensive mind in Draymon....like are you serious?? MJ guards Steph, pippen guards KD, who's guarding Klay?? You even think of moving off steph or KD thats bbq chicken...probably is already bbq just running around trying to catch steph. Not mention the bulls wouldnt even know how to run defensive schemes to counter 30 footers....
