One thing you missed completely. They can’t touch the bulls either on defense. That tremendously helps Toni. He played some of his best ball with less physical teams and if he’s allowed to get off early and build confidence, he’s a different player. Being in the floor helps him with that. Today’s style of play fits his play style like a glove. Also doesn’t matter how much they make MJ work on defense when he would have a way easier time on offense and getting to the line.

Who is going to guard KD? The Bulls were a great defensive team, but no defensive player is going to slow down Curry or KD on a 1-1. So yeah, as great as Jordan, Pippen and Harper are defensively, they ain't stopping them. Curry is a superb dribbler, who is only bested by Kyrie and Irving in dribbling. He also has a ton a gravity while on the court, forcing teams to double o triple team him in possessions. That would give a ton of open looks for KD or Thompson. Pippen would probabaly be assigned to KD, but KD just has so many options. He can dunk on him in transition since he is taller and has a longer reacher, or just dribble off him and shoot a mid range to score. Now, Klay being more of a spot up shooter wouldn't be bothered that much by the Bulls defense, since the Bulls would most probably try to focus either on Curry or KD. But, the second you try to double either KD or Curry, Klay would be open on the wing with a jumper, and since he is also a lethal shooter, that would hurt the Bulls so much. Rodman mentally is tougher than Draymond, and he could get into his head. But Draymond, being more of a playmaker, and having so many options in Klay, Durant and Curry, I don't think he would be that affected by Rodman. I think they cancel each other out in scoring, and Rodman being the better rebounder would outrebound Draymond, but in terms of playmaking, Draymond completely blows him out of the water. So in reality, I would give him the edge in the 1-1 matchup.

one game does not decide an entire series, gsw were down 17 in game 3 vs portland that same year with Mike Brown coaching the team and without Durant

The question that I have is "are the Warriors defense focused on interior or perimeter?" MJ can use the perimeter-focused style of today's game to his advantage. Not only was 1996 the year of his career-high in three pointers being made but especially given the fact that Michael Jordan is arguably the greatest mid-range shooter of all time. He'll easily take advantage of the fact that teams today don't care about mid-ranged shots. The Warriors might have to go traditional instead of small ball. Also the Bulls were good at full court press.

For a series under 90's rules, yeah, the Bulls all day every day. Under 2017 rules though, that's a little harder. Given the kind of defense that was allowed (or lack of), you know Jordan's ppg average is gonna explode; easily up there in the 50's which would frustrate the ever-lovin' shit out of the Warriors cause they'd just have no way of stopping him. Steve Kerr would also be a big advantage cause if he gets an open look, he's droppin' 3 point bombs just as good as the Warriors would. Not to mention Jordan, Pippen, Harper, and Kukoc could step up to the 3 point line as well. And then there's also Dennis Rodman to consider. He'd be grabbin' all kinds of boards to be sure, but I think his biggest contribution would be just how much he would fuck with the Warriors. Mark my words, he would get guys ejected from games or at the very least, put guys in foul trouble which would make it all the easier for the Bulls to score. And although they couldn't be anywhere near as physical as they were in the 90's, Jordan and Pip both had those long, lightning quick hands that would pick off loose balls and lazy passes. I don't know, the more I think about, I really think the Bulls would take the series.

@@patoooo2 Fabián, your comment tells me two important things. You have not seen the Bulls play, and you are probably quite young. I respect your opinion, and beg to differ. I also want to be fair, and explain my reasoning. We can agree that both teams played in a different era. The Bulls era was a bit more tough, hand checking etc. the Warriors is more an era with many 3's. If these teams play in the old Era, the Warriors won't get that many 3's, just won't happen considering the defensive rating of the Bulls. So the Warriors lose their biggest strength. Pippen/Jordan/Harp can guard Curry, the other two will guard Clay/KD, loss/loss for the Warriors there. While noone on the Warriors team can guard MJ, especially if we would play with the new rules, MJ would dominate even more under no hand checking rules. Dennis will take care of Draymond any day, so the "offense" shrinks significantly. Bulls offense on the other hand won't be affected at all. The Bulls had way tougher opponents guarding them, and had no issues. I say this as a BIG fan of the Warriors AND the Bulls. I absolutely loved the Warriors, and unless you think Zaza Pachulia would somehow score 50 vs Luc, there is no way the Warriors could beat the Bulls... Well perhaps there is one way, if you kill MJ...

@patoooo2

2 жыл бұрын

​@@janjilek3496 Of course, rules of any particular era will always have to be taken into account. But people tend to overrate (or underrate depending on the situation) hand-checking. If the Warriors were to play in an older era (especially against the Bulls who had A LOT of spacing), they would benefit a lot from having no zone defense, this inherently creates more space for the Warriors, which directly translates into more 3's. Seeing as how the Warriors have a team full of snipers, they would easily outscore the Bulls. As I mentioned, the Bulls were a team who often stretched the floor, and this would further benefit the Warriors main offensive weapon. As great as the Bulls were defensively, NO ONE will effectively guard Kevin Durant. They never had to guard anyone that could shoot better than Reggie Miller several feet from the basket. The best fit for KD would probably be Scottie Pippen, but KD could just dribble off him and just a pull mid ranger, or dunk on him in transition, there is just so many options for KD. Additionally, I don't think anyone from the Bulls can guard Curry 1-1, he's handles are superb, and can only be bested by players such as Kyrie and AI. The only way to guard Curry is to double him and Kevin Durant especially benefits a lot from this, because the gravity that Curry pulls while being on the floor is incredible. Teams would try to double or even triple team Curry, leaving KD wide open for a three. Even if you somehow manage to defend KD and Curry, you still have to worry about Klay, who is also a lethal shooter. The very moment Bulls try to double either Steph or KD, Klay would be wide open for a jumper. I just don't see the Bulls being able to hurt the Warriors offense, they have too much fire power. I agree that there is no player on the Warriors that could defend MJ, he is just to versatile and has a lot of offensive options. But if we play by the new rules, MJ never had to deal with zone defense. Even if players weren't allowed to hand-check him (as I stated before, hand-checking in my opinion is overrated), I really don't think MJ will dominante any more than he did on his era, since the Warriors would probably try to play zone defense on him. Either that, or just rotate Klay and Iggy on him throughout the game. Now, this wouldn't slow MJ down, but as I said, he wouldn't be more dominant than he already is. You mentioned that Draymond would get taken care by Rodman. I disagree. Rodman is very good at defending players down low at the post. He isn't good at defending guard-like players who specialize at setting up other players. And since Draymond has very good play making abilities, I don't think he would bother trying to score on Rodman down low, instead focusing on setting up the pace for the Warriors. As a matter of fact, I don't think Rodman is suited for defending any of the Warriors offensive players. Maybe Zaza on the post, but he isn't really an offensive threat. Now, as good as the Warriors are on offense. They are definitely underrated on defense. KD plays defense when it matters the most, and he would definitely bother Pippen. He is taller than him and has a very long reach. Draymond is also a DPOY, and he would also bother the Bulls on that end of the floor. The Bulls would heavily rely on MJ for scoring output, and as good as he is, he definitely not outscoring the Warriors I really think it comes down to who can out score who, and the Warriors are the greatest team at that by a mile.

They aren't. Warriors would have no chance of winning without the 3 pointer period. Jordan could easily average 50 a game IF he wanted to in this era.

This channel so underrated fr

Good analysis of each team but your so wrong in your prediction... under 90s rules Bulls win in 4 or 5. They are too physical Rodman would frustrate the hell out of the Warriors and they simply couldn't keep up with them. Under modern day rules Jordan with no handchecking could get 50 points a night easily. Warriors only chance is if Steff and Clay get hot from 3 point but even under modern rules the Bulls defence of Pippen on Clay and Harper/Jordan on Steff would stifle them. Bulls in 6 and I think that's very generous to give the warriors 2 games :D

💀 “they simply couldn’t keep up with them” the current era is much faster and athletic than the players in the 90s. 90s players played inside the 3 point line defense so they’d have to readjust the entirety of their game plan against the warriors since they’ve never played a team like them. And u didn’t even mention KD when u said Harper and Jordan would “stifle” them. Let’s not act like KD isn’t the most dangerous man on that team no one on the bulls will or could stop him, he’s a 7 foot SF who can score over anyone no matter how u try to bend it Pippen wouldn’t be able to do anything against KD. With a prime KD, Klay, and Curry the bulls would have to much to worry ab not mention they aren’t 3 point shooters. Ur putting mid range shooters(which is their primary scoring) against a team with the best shooters in nba history it’s just not a good matchup in the bulls favor. Warriors in 6

There is a big difference between not being able to be a force on offense and not deciding to not score.... Rodman decided to not score, the number of Offensive rebounds that he would kick the ball out to reset the offense instead of putting the ball back into score. Year one and year two Rodman was growing on offense then it was like he just decided it wasn't what helped the team win. The Pistons way of defending Jordan only worked till there was a 2nd scoring option, once Pippen grew up it no longer worked. Allow the Bulls team to have a year to adjust to the 2010 rules and they adjust, the Bulls had some of the smartest players around and Rodman would also drive a few of the Warriors insane... LOL

How do we really compare? It’s tough. 1 team is built for the high scoring minimal physicality modern era while the other was built for the defensive physical play of the 90’s 🤷‍♂️ I tend to give the edge slightly to GS (even though I’m an old head) GS pretty much in their primes while MJ while still amazing and the best player in the world I feel was at his best 91-93 3-peat 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

KD was KD he is all time great but some of the other USA players really struggled to find rhythm with the less spacing and more contact of Olympic basketball. The 96 Bulls were that x10. Just something 🤷‍♂️

Bulls wouldn’t need 7 games to win against GSW, maybe 6, but I’d guess in 5. GSW couldn’t deal with the defense, MJ, Pippen and Rodman. Those 3 are used to more aggressive style play and are more clutch.

Pretty much how I view it but if they play by 90’s rules then the bulls sweep. Curry isn’t built to play physical. KD and Dray would get theirs but Steph would have a difficult time staying on the court.

Bulls win in either era and with either rules Bulls win in 6 or even 5 Why? Because The Triangle Offense maximized The Bulls offensive potential while the Doberman Defense suffocated perimeter scorers. Plus the Bulls were a better rebounding team and GSW lacked CONSISTENT interior defense GSW would get killed in the interior With that said the Bulls were actually BETTER BUILT for THIS era since MJ would be dropping 40+ppg on 60%FG easily with an increase in each of his stats across the board…. Furthermore Pip, Kukoc, Harper, Rodman would all ALSO see an increase in each of their stats across the board as well thus it would be barbecue chicken 96 Bulls win no doubt!

Yeah, Luc would feast on the warriors 100%

Let me paint a picture for you. In an alternate universe, the 96' Bulls and the 17' Warriors exist in the same time and are on a collision course for the Finals. They aren't playing 1990's era physical, hand checking rules but it's also not a free for all like 2017 either, where offensive players can just waltz into the lane and score at will. It's somewhere in between. The Bulls, fresh off a 72-10 regular season, are hungry for the bright lights of the Finals. Golden State, having added prolific scorer Kevin Durant in the Summer, is the road team. Chicago has home court advantage. 72 wins > 67 wins. Math. GAME 1 All the talking heads are predicting a 7 game series with the Dubs having the slight edge. "They simply have too much firepower, Draymond & Iggy are better Rodmans than Rodman. Dubs in 5," tweets Nick Wright. Phil's got the newspaper clippings from all these journalists posted in the team's locker room for all to see, using it to fuel his guys. Golden State rolls into the Chicago Stadium for game 1. That morning they have a walk through, a light shoot around and later knock out some pregame interviews before going back and getting ready for tip off. Mike goes out during shoot around and answers media questions with Ahmad Rashad. During warm ups, while he's under the basket doing his thing, something catches his eye. He looks over at the other end of the court, where some of the Warriors are warming up and doing questions with media outlets, and he sees Steph doing his tunnel shots, his golf swing 3pt warm ups, half court shots, and all the usual light-hearted silly antics he's known for but something about it irks MJ. He thinks to himself, "Magic never did no shit like that. Neither did Larry. Isaiah, Stockton, not even Reggie would do some shit like that." Mike's pissed. He cuts the interview short and heads back to the locker room. The teams go over any last minute adjustments and they come out, The lights dim. Then Alan Parsons Project "Sirius" comes over the P.A. system. The lineups are announced. Ray Clay is on point as usual. The lights go bright. The Anthem plays. The captains meet at center court. There's electricity in the air. The whistle blows. The ball goes up and the Warriors get off to a nice pace and are playing lights out, making 9 of their first 11 field goal attempts. Jumping out to an early 12 point lead after the 1st quarter. Everything's clicking for the Dubs. They're playing with unwavering confidence and high energy. There are many of the Warrior faithful in attendance, sprinkled all throughout the United Center. There's never been so much blue in here before. KD is the better player but this is still Steph's team. He is off to an excellent start. Leading all scorers with 24 with 3 minutes to go in the half. Dropping deep threes, crisp passes and he's giving Harp fits. He even puts up a 34 ft bomb and turns around to run up the court before it goes in. Their bench goes crazy. Phil calls time out, he's fuming. None of these antics go unnoticed by Jordan and his Bulls. Boos rain down on the court. 'Red' Kerr can't tell if it's because of the Warrior's hot first quarter or directed at the Bull's for their slow start. Curry's blistering hot and is 8 of 11 from the field and Marv Albert is suggesting 50 might be on the table. KD is getting good looks, despite stellar defense from Scottie Pippen. Durant is actually working hard for his shots, making each dribble, each movement count but Pip is right there with him. Golden State is rolling, even the bench is contributing. Barnes, McGee, McCaw and Looney give Golden State about 11 combined minutes and are positive in the +/- column. Putting up points, a bunch of rebounds and keeping the offense flowing smoothly during the first half when Dray, Klay and Iggy check out of the game. Strength In Numbers. For the Bulls it's really only MJ & Pip keeping them in the game. Jordan has 22 pts and Scottie has 16 through nearly the entire first half. Rodman is in early foul trouble, so is Longley. Phil is getting in Toni's ass telling him to "stop fucking around and pull your weight" and everyone else has this deer in headlights look in their eyes and are shellshocked by the offensive onslaught that is the Warriors, and GSW is leading 58-43 with 1: 18 left in the 2nd quarter. Pip and KD trade buckets down the stretch. Harper catches a pass off a back door screen and puts down a dunk over Green. Nasty. People forget Ron Harper can still get up when he has to. In that case, he wanted to. Dray gets a taste.. The Bulls make a couple runs but Kevin Durant and Steph are keeping the Dub's lead secure, with KD playing every minute of the first half. In time outs Durant is yelling at Draymond, telling him to turn it on. The Warriors are playing well despite Draymond not really playing like himself, only posting 4 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block through two quarters. Iggy and Klay are doing their best to D up MJ, but Mike's eating them up. Iggy's playing his absolute best defense and doesn't use too much juice on the offensive end to get his. He's got 7 quiet points with 4 boards and 2 blocks and 2 steals. Steph is feeling it tonight. His quickness and handles surprise the Bulls. Shaun Livingston is getting bothered by the 6'10" Kukoc, but he still posts 6 pts through 2 quarters and even racks up 3 steals with 5 boards. Looney is dogging Longley, but Toni is finally starting to heat up and show why he was 6th Man of the Year. He only took two shots in the first quarter and had twice as many turnovers. He's 5 of 6 in the 2nd qtr and 6 of 8 going into half time. Mike gets the crowd off their feet with a gorgeous turnaround fadeaway over the outstretched arms of Shaun Livingston on the left baseline from an inbound pass by Scotty Burrell. Draymond is struggling through two quarters and Rodman isn't doing much of anything, or so it seems. He's got 2 points, 8 boards, 1 assist and 3 fouls in the half but assistant coach John Paxson said before the game that Phil had spoken with Dennis before Game 1 and "gave him a very specific task" for this series. When asked what it was, Paxson just replied with, "Wait and see like everyone else." Whatever it was, the Worm seems to have worked his way under Draymond's skin. Dennis is one of the smartest, most fearless, and dirtiest players ever. After all, this is the guy who lives in the heads of MVP Malone, destroyed a Prime Shaq and annihilated Zo Mourning. His resume is a mile long. Green likes to ninja kick people, well Rodman invented that. Dray likes to talk shit to get an advantage but Rodman never listens or talks back. Rodman is cool as a cucumber, especially under pressure. Draymond ain't shit in comparison. During stoppage in play, it can be seen that KD or Iggy or Steph going over trying to get Green refocused, and back into it but once the Worm sets up shop, that's it. No coming back. Dray is getting pissed and losing his cool. Dub's ball, Livingston brings it up, Steph is doubled, but connects with Andre Igoudala who is rolling and manages to snake his way into the paint, jumps off two feet and throws down a filthy dunk over the top of Pippen's outstretched arms. Dunk of the Year consideration for sure. Spike Lee is in the front row and leaps out his chair. He's gotta be restrained. He feels vindication for the Ewing dunk in 94' and he's letting Pip hear it all the way down the sidelines. 14.6 seconds left till the half ends. Bulls rush it up, Kerr gets it to Jordan, he sees a double team coming and fires it into the paint, and Longley misses the bunny but Bulls get the offensive board. It goes out to an open Kerr in the corner. Splash. Draymond inbounds with 2.8 seconds on the clock, Steph breaks free from Ronny Harp and gets a bit of space, Dray gets it to center court and Curry dribbles, pulls up and hits a deep logo shot to beat the buzzer. "BAAANG!!" Mike Breen is in top form these playoffs and the Warriors fans are losing their minds. Steph is shimmying up the court, dancing, laughing, flying around like a plane with his arms out.The bench celebrates like it was a game winner. They're absolutely savoring the huge lead, which has surged to 18 points. In his celebration Wardell Stephen Curry made the fatal mistake of forgetting where he was. He's in Mike's house. You don't dance and shimmy in Black Jesus' house. It's not good for your health. Curry leads all scorers 27 points going into the break, KD has 18. Klay isn't getting too many touches, instead he's going all out on the defensive end, but still has 10 quiet first half points and 3 steals. Half time. 77-59. Warriors. Mike's eyes lock in on the light-hearted but clearly disrespectful celebration and he sees red, his vision flashes white, his blood boils, his pride burns, only made that much more intense by the adrenaline coursing through his veins. They're getting shown up, at home. Enough is enough. The Bulls turn and head to the tunnel but not Mike, he's last to leave the court. He glances up at the giant jumbo-tron scoreboard above the court, then looks around the Arena, surveying the scene. The crowd is quiet, no energy, it's been sucked from the building. Lots of concerned and worried faces. Benny the Bull comes out to try and hype up the Chicago fans. Mike spots a kid in a Warriors jersey, in the 2nd row, with a sign that reads 'GSW in 4' with a small broom glued to the poster. "Fuck that. We got 24 minutes left." (Continued in Replies)

Mike's team goal is to win this game but his personal challenge that he's created in his mind is to absolutely obliterate this kid. He heads toward the tunnel to follow the team. Lights, camera, action. The NBA on NBC theme plays, Peter Vescey goes into his monologue courtside and tries to get Mike to stop for a couple questions. Jordan waves him off and continues back to the locker room. Vescey backs off. He knows what's up. The Bulls are accustomed to heading back to the locker room amidst screams, chants and the deafening roar of a ruckus home crowd. There's always been a slight vibration through the walls, felt in the floor, under their feet, making the United Center feel like it was alive itself. It always made them feel invincible. There's none of that this time. This is unfamiliar. This time is different. The team files into the locker room. There's some cameras and writers gathered outside, chattering. The sentiment being tossed around is "This could be over before it ever really starts." Their murmuring stops when MJ walks past. They don't dare say that within earshot. They don't even look him in the eyes. In the locker room we find Tex scribbling something on the whiteboard. Paxson is speaking to Toni and Harp. The bench guys look nervous. Phil is ripping into Luc Longley and Rodman for their careless play and lack of intensity and going "too fucking easy on them." Dennis looks like he's checked out, but then again maybe that's just Dennis' usual demeanor. Pip is pissed. He's out there trying to contain Durant while also barking at guys to make switches and to stop missing defensive assignments. Michael enters the room. It goes quiet. They look up and see Jordan's face. Mike is disgusted and proceeds to rip into everyone. He curses his teammates up and down. Even Phil isn't safe from Mike's wrath. This isn't for the faint of heart. He's making them raise their level of play, pushing them to their absolute limits, attempting to squeeze more out of them than they can give. Demanding absolute perfection going into the 3rd. It's victory or death in his mind. Mike finishes by looking each man in their eyes and says, "If you don't want to follow my lead, if you don't think we can win, keep your sorry asses right here." They all rise and meet Mike's intense stare. The Bulls leave the room and the vibe is completely different now. It has to be, Mike will murder their families if they bring that same bullshit effort from the first half. John Salley turns to Steve Kerr and Jason Caffey, smiles wide and says, "I saw that look once before. In 91', right before they kicked our asses in 4 then won the Championship." Before leaving the locker room Mike tells Phil he's got Curry for the next half. Jackson nods. They do their chant in the tunnel and they run back out to the court. The crowd erupts. They're down but are still in it, supporting the Bulls till' the bitter end. The Bulls come out reenergized, dialed in, guns blazing. Not a single turnover all quarter. They were out-rebounded 30-21 in the first half. 10 minutes into the 3rd and they've turned around those rebounding numbers, 39-37. Every Bull is willing to sacrifice their body in order to guard their man, fighting and clawing for every loose rebound, making crucial passes and contesting everything. The play is more physical in this half. They slow the pace the best they can. They're talking mad shit out there. The cameras pick up some of it under the basket. It's looking up for the Bulls. The crowd can sense it, too. They're screaming like lunatics. It takes 8 minutes to erase the lead and bring it to 91-87. Warriors are still up but Mike is playing like a man possessed. He's playing like his life is on the line. The United Center is roaring back into it, pumping even more life into their squad. Jordan is phenomenal, reaching deep into his bag to bring the Bulls closer. Turn around jumpers, fall aways on the baseline, rainbow fadeaways, mid-range jump shots at the elbow, step throughs, head fakes, pump fakes, getting to the stripe, hanging jumpers at the foul line, immaculate footwork, no wasted movements, calculated, and that lightning quick first step is destroying Iggy, giving him three 3rd quarter fouls. Klay isn't faring any better, picking up 2 fouls himself. With 2: 38 left Mike gets a rebound off a missed Draymond 3-pointer and he goes around Shaun Livingston and bangs it over Igoudala and JaVale McGee. Perfect poster. And 1. Mike is red hot this quarter, contributing another 18 points and 4 steals. But the other Bulls are right there with him. None of them have that look on their faces from the first half. The Warriors stay in it behind a 14pt 3rd quarter from Klay. He's trying like hell to match MJ's offensive assault. He's 5 of 6 in the third. Iggy's 3 fouls on Jordan in the quarter forced him to sit till the fourth and this gives Kukoc some breathing room. He goes off for 12 pts in 3 minutes. Up above, Krause is in the stands, smiling. This is what Krause envisioned when he brought him over. Toni's talking shit to Klay but Klay just smiles and keeps it going. KD is phenomenal, getting almost everything he wants this quarter, he's definitely odds-on favorite for MVP if GSW wins this series. Mike is playing all out on both ends. Getting steals, playing the passing lanes, disrupting everything that is in his territory. It feels like there are two MJ's out there. He's everywhere. Steph looks out of sorts. Mike is just on another level. On another planet. He doesn't let Curry get anything. He suffocates Steph and forces turnovers and sloppy shot attempts. He's giving him elbows to the ribs, pushing him around, wearing him down, leaning on him, chasing him all over the court, altering his shot selection, jawing at him. Getting mean, nasty, ugly in his face. It goes just how you think it would. Think LeBron defending MVP D.Rose in 2011, but much worse. Steph's 3rd quarter: 2pts, 0 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal. Steph is frustrated. At one point he takes out his mouth guard and starts yelling at the refs. The interaction didn't go his way, he got T'd up. Steph loses his shit and he damn near threw his mouthpiece into the first two rows but he restrained himself and pulled it back. This is no time to lose your head. Bulls up, 101-99. 4th Quarter starts. Looney is eating Longley alive but Kukoc is torching the Dubs for 22, 8 and 4 so far. Javale McGee's length is annoying some of the Bulls, but otherwise he's struggling, and gets his 4th foul to start the period. Iggy misses his first three shots of the quarter but Shaun Livingston is picking up the slack and pumps in 6 quick points on three smooth turn around jumpers over Harper, then on Kerr and Burrell. Dennis has 15 rebounds but only 4 points but he's also got 4 blocks. Matt Barnes actually plays solid minutes off the bench this half and contributes 7pts and 3 boards to help put the Dubs ahead, 110-108. I don't know who's coaching the Warriors but Steve Kerr definitely isn't. Steve Kerr isn't coaching jackshit in 1996, instead he's rocking a high and tight buzz cut, wearing Nike Air Uptempo mids and making it rain from 3pt land, all while shooting a ridiculous 52% from 3 for the year. He's playing big in his first time on the Finals stage, giving the Bulls 14 points on 4 of 4 from behind the line, while kicking in 2 rebounds and 5 assists with 1 steal, in 14 minutes of action. He's been automatic. That preseason scuffle with Mike really gave him confidence. Kerr is tested and now he's earning his stripes. Michael looks over after each bucket, pointing to him, proud of Kerr's relentless energy. Caffey and Salley sub in after a time out. They play a combined 1 minute 12 seconds. They come out with a combined 0 points, 2 rebounds and 6 fouls. Hard fouls. The physical fouls catch the Warrior's players, and specifically their bench players, off guard; and they are temporarily stopped in their tracks. It rattles them just long enough to keep them from going on a run and reclaiming the lead, but they're not pushovers and they quickly recover and fight through it. Salley is loving the shit out of it. He's grinning from ear to ear. It reminds him of his Bad Boys days in Detroit. 119-117, Bulls. Mike can be seen trash talking Steph, all through the 3rd and 4th quarters, every chance he gets. Every dead ball. Each time down the court, each contested three. Every time he's gotta chase his ass all over the court, Jordan let's him know, getting inside his head. Terrorizing him on defense and absolutely destroying him mentally. One verbal assault at a time. Shutting him down. Jordan renders him useless. You don't have to be a professional lip reader to piece together some of the stuff he's saying to him. During a commercial break, as the teams are heading to their benches for a time out midway in the fourth, the cameraman captures His Airness walking alongside Curry, yelling in his ear and mouthing the words, "You showboat little bitch, you're mine." Curry doesn't dare try to match Mike's crazed shit talking. There's no way he can get to that level of aggressive maniac behavior. Mike didn't let the 89', 90' repeat champion Bad Boy Pistons get to him, he's definitely not letting this baby-faced 'assassin' get the better of him. Steph looks like he wants to be anywhere but there and is basically a non factor during the last two quarters. But with MJ exclusively on Curry it frees up Thompson, Klay steps up to keep them in it, going off in the fourth, adding in another 10 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 more steals. 1: 46 left in the 4th quarter.

Mike has 47, Pip's got a cool 29. Both benches are contributing in various ways, big time ways. The Arena is deafening. People are losing their shit in the stands. Ronny Harper gets a jumper up off and Klay gets a little too eager and inadvertently crowds his landing space and Harp comes down, tweaking his ankle. Goes to the line. Drains both. He shouts at the crowd, "Practice like you play!" while running back with a slight limp in his gait. Bulls are up by two.121-119. KD comes around a Draymond screen, Toni switches, but KD shakes free and has one of the prettiest step back threes you'll ever see. He gathers the ball and launchesthat thang over Kukoc's outstretched arms. It barely moves the net as it goes through. Wet. He's forced to take over because he sees Steph is reduced to a decoy at this point. Durant's 3 pointer brings the Warriors their first lead since late in the 3rd qtr. It's 122-121, Golden State. It's all KD and Klay at this point for Golden State, everyone is gassed, but everyone also knows the ball is going to KD. Green is M.I.A. Looks like we know what Rodman's task was: The complete evisceration of his mojo. Steph is a no show in the second half. Klay's put up a monster game up to this point. He's done just about all he could, with totals of 39, 8, 5, 2 and 6 steals and it's not over yet. Cold blooded. Jordan and Pippen are exhausted. MJ played all but one minute of the game and Pippen has played every minute.The Bulls are slugging it out to the end but the Warriors still look to have more energy and shooting to give them one final effort, one final push. Golden State calls for time and Walton looks like he's in anguish. Somewhere high up in a Skybox, Bill is looking down, smiling. "The kid's gotta learn somehow." There are these fans behind the Warriors bench pointing and screaming. They're wearing black and red #33 and #91 jerseys. One guy stands up, yelling and pointing at Durant. It's so loud it can barely be made out what they're saying. "KD, you ain't shit, this is Steph's team! You're always gonna be number 2! FUCK you!! Go back to OKC!" Durant doesn't turn, he doesn't look, he pretends he didn't hear but he's definitely heard them. Coming out of the final Warrior's time out, Durant has that look in his eyes. The Chicago fans have this gut-wrenching feeling in the pit of their stomachs. Ref whistles the play to start. You can't even hear it. He's gotta point to Pip to signal the start of the clock. Harper brings it up with 1: 21 left. They run the Triangle, swing it and ultimately Kukoc gets the ball in the high post only to have Iggy poke it loose. They scramble for the ball and dive to the hardwood. Dubs come away with it, KD throws it the length of the court to Livingston and he blows the dunk, clangs it right off the back of the rim, but Igoudala is trailing behind and is right there to clean it up and jams it for the putback dunk. The Arena gets quiet. 124-121, Dubs. 1: 05 left. Pippen brings it up, looks for cutters, the Warriors are playing tight defense despite looking absolutely exhausted. They look like boxers in the 12th round out there. Phil calls their last time out. It gives Mike and the Bulls an all too brief moment to sit and muster enough energy to finish this thing off. It goes by so quickly, like a blur. Mike and Scottie stand up, their legs feel like jelly, they exchange looks, Pip nods, and head to the court. They know this is it. Whistle. The count begins. Kukoc gets it into the hands of Jordan who brings it up, looks for a shot but he finds a rolling Dennis. He's given Green a hip check but the refs don't call it or maybe they don't see it. Rodman catches it 5ft from the bucket, ignores the pass to the open Kerr in the corner. No, fuck it, he's gonna go for it. Time to pull his weight. Green recovers and slides over to contest but he's a split second too late and knocks into Rodman, forcing him to alter his trajectory, while KD slaps at the ball only to hit his elbow. Rodman stumbles and he puts up the ugliest looking shot you ever saw. He falls out of bounds into a cameraman. He resists the urge to kick the poor guy. Instead he's too busy looking at the ball. It goes off glass, hits the front of the iron, bounces back to the glass and rolls around, finally dropping through the twine. Whistle. "And 1!" The United Center explodes. The Worm gallops around the court, pumping his fists. The bench collectively holds their breath as Dennis goes to the line. James Edwards puts his face in his towel, he can't look. Phil looks like he's going to have an aneurysm. Rodman takes a deep breath, points to the sky. Dribble once. Dribble twice. Points a finger to the sky again. Let's it fly and prepares to rush in for the board. It sails through the net. Swish. Up to this point he's only had 4 points..total. Redemption is spelled D-E-N-N-I-S. He gallops down the court, with as much energy as when the game first started. Phil looks over at Tex, shakes his head and smiles. "Fucking Dennis." Tied, 124-124. It's almost over. (Continued)

In times like this, some players shy away from the moment. It's too much pressure. The moment is too big. The stage is too bright. The challenge, too burdensome. With Steph, he's shown time and time again that maybe he's just not a big moment kind of player. Klay is definitely box office but Kevin Durant, say what you want about his heart and will to compete, he very much wants to be in those big moments, and wants to have the ball when it counts. Yeah, he wants to win alright. (Continued) They resume play and the tall, lanky Livingston inbounds with Kukoc covering him, doing his best to disrupt the pass and maybe get a deflection that will hopefully lead to a play at the other end. He gets it in, right into Durant's hands. He brings it up and sees Klay running through multiple screens, under the basket, and ends up in the opposite corner. Harp gets lost in the maze of screens. Thompson catches the pass right in his sweet spot and puts up the silkiest jumper of the game, perfect mechanics, perfect shot, at the perfect time. Harp is too late and sees the release. It looks good, better than good but everyone still rushes in to crash the boards. The ball finds the bottom of the net. "BAAANG!! Thompson puts Golden State on top" Mark Jackson, Van Gundy and Mike Breen are losing their shit. The referees review the shot, Klay's toe was on the line, it's changed to a 2 pointer. 126-124. Harp gets it in quickly, Pip brings it up, wasting no time. 29.3 seconds left. He gets it across half court, finds MJ but Dennis and Draymond are tied up, tripping each other up and fall to the floor. Whistles from all three refs. Dennis blatantly trips Draymond but Draymond, even more egregiously, punches at Dennis' privates. They get up and Draymond rushes Rodman. Knocking both of themselves to the ground, screaming and spitting, trying to get a reaction from The Worm. Almost begging for a reaction. Nothing. Dennis gives him nothing. Green, furious, tries to swing at Rodman. Both teams rush in and drag Green away, off of Rodman. Dennis rises to his feet, smiles and shrugs his shoulders. A master of mischief, a pro at playing dumb. It works perfectly. Tony Brothers gives Draymond the tech and says if he doesn't calm down, he'll kick him out. Immediately Green realizes all too late what he's done. He took the bait. Completely playing into Dennis' childish game. From the jump. Kerr goes up and knocks down the tech. Bulls retain possession. 126-125. Warriors on top. Kukoc gets it into Mike and he brings it up. 16.8 seconds left. Time slows down. The crowd disappears. The moment becomes the moment. Jordan sees only the rim. He goes to that place that he's gone to many times before. However, he realizes that all the work and preparation still hasn't got him ready for something like this, not a team like this. But Mike's different, he relishes this rare opportunity and gladly accepts the challenge with open arms. He embraces all conquests that will make him legendary. Jordan keeps his dribble low, assesses what the defense is giving him. Feels it out, realizing this is his chance to either win or lose the game. He believes with every once of his being that the ball is going in.. Igoudala gets into Mike. 15 seconds. Mike palms the ball, holding it behind his back, away from his defender. 14 seconds. Iggy plants his feet and leans in. 13 seconds. His teammates back away, clearing up space for the one v one showdown. 12 seconds. Michael plants his foot and explodes to the top of the key. 11 seconds. Igoudala is right on his hip. 10 seconds. Jordan turns over his shoulder, bodies Iggy, backing him into the paint. Nine. Iggy uses his last ounce of energy and swipes at the ball. Eight. MJ turns away from his defender's reach and squares his feet and shoulders. Seven. Iggy tries to jump off his back foot to contest the shot. Six. Mike elevates. Five. He releases the ball at the apex of the shot. Four. The ball soars the air. Three. Swish. Two seconds left. Pandemonium. The United Center is chaos. An absolute frenzy. 127-126. Bulls. Mike clenches a fist and turns to the crowd. But no time for celebration, the Warriors have to inbound the ball. They still have a chance to win this thing. There's still two seconds remaining. It's Steph, Klay, Draymond, Igoudala and Kevin Durant. Anything can happen and if you want a five man squad to finish a game, it's this five man squad. Iggy stands out of bounds, frantically looks. His heart feels like it's going to explode. Steph is running off an semi-illegal screen, trying to lose Jordan. Draymond is wrestling with Rodman. Klay tries to push through MJ to keep him off Steph. Kukoc is trying his damnedest to disrupt the inbound pass. Igoudala sees Pippen get pushed and tripped up into Klay under the basket and Durant pops out to the top of the arc. Wide open. Just enough daylight. Iggy sails it over Toni and KD goes up to receive the pass. He pulls it down, sees Pippen coming to contest. The clock starts the countdown to zero. Durant, making sure his size 18 shoes are nowhere near the line, puts the rock on the deck. The clock is winding down. Just enough time to crossover to his right, square up and lift for a divinely smooth jumper. He let's it go and releases it just a fraction of a second before the buzzer. Pip puts up his hand but he's on empty from 48 minutes of hell, chasing around the 7 foot Durant and is just a step too slow to give it an honest attempt at a contest. He turns to see the 35 foot shot hurtling toward the basket. Rodman and Green, arms tangled, turn to look up at the shot. Everyone in the United Center is on their feet. Holding their breath, and clutching each other's hands. People at home are frozen, glued to the screen. Kevin comes down, holding his pose, a perfect gooseneck. His entire basketball career, his whole life flashes before his eyes, Montrose Christian, Texas, Draft Night, the Sonics, the Thunder, the MVP season, the doubters, Russ, his mom. Everything's brought him to this moment. He doesn't flinch. All or nothing. The ball sails toward the basket and comes down. KD closes his eyes and has to live with the result. The Stadium erupts. It's absolute bedlam. The players clear the bench. Absolute bedlam. You'd think it was Game 7. Johnny 'Red' Kerr can't be heard over the screams and cheers of the people surrounding him, but he says, "Folks, you could live a hundred lifetimes and never witness something like this, ever again." "See you all back here in two days for Game 2." Jordan finishes with 49 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 blocks, 9 steals and 1 turnover. Steph finishes with 28 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 12 turnovers "72 > 73" *+This was a fun little story to write up on my two hour lunch break in between my split shifts.

20 year gap, that's a big era variance.

I'd give the Bulls the edge with all that considered, but damn it's not by much

You didn’t factor in FLOPS, flopping rarely if ever occurred in the 90s . It’s become an important strategy in modern basketball. If the Warriors began flopping on every play ala Labron James, ,,, the Bulls would be confused, and most likely pointing and laughing. So what era are the referees from? But the reality is that the Bulls would sweep any team from 2000-2022.

Let's look down those lineups.. Curry vs Harper.. obvious edge to curry but let's not forget Ron Harper was a 6'6 point guard.. defensive specialist.. long.. quick.. intelligent.. hard to think anybody is shutting curry down, but Harper has a good a shot as anybody ever to give him hell.. one of best defenders I league at that time... but steph gonna score.. too good of a shooter to nullify completely.. Klay vs MJ.. obvious edge to Jordan.. best player ever.. one of best defenders ever.. klayay hit some shots here and there because Jordan liked to roam on defense at times.. so klay being one of best shooters ever probably will hit a few shots but Jordan locks him up for the most part.. klay not the best at creating shots for himself.. KD vs Pippen... this is the most interesting match up... kd is maybe the most gifted scorer ever... Pippen is maybe the best perimeter defenders ever.. KD bout 6'9 or so.. Pippen bout 6'8.... I give edge to KD but man that would be fun to watch those 2 go at it.. KD will score.. but pippen may make him have a bad % doing so.. plus Pippen on offense was no joke either.. could have been an mvp had it not been for Jordan.. maybe best 2nd option ever.. that would be classic matchup.. Draymond vs Rodman... Rodman wins every category here.. dray can shoot a little.. and he may make a few good passes here or there.. but Rodman is the best rebounder ever.. the best hustler ever.. one of the best defenders ever.. has maybe the best stamina ever.. yea Rodman completely nullifies draymond.. let's be honest dray is just a discount Rodman anyway.. Center... we won't bother here.. this position is irrelevant in the series.. But you have to remember with that bulls team.. all 4 of those guys can switch and guard everyone else's man when needed.. Ron and Jordan can switch.. pippen and Jordan can switch.. Harper and pippen can switch.. Rodman can switch with them all.. Rodman can guard 1-5.. pippen can guard at least 1-4 and really 5 if they try playin small ball with dray at 5.. same with Jordan.. Harper can guard at least 1-3.. I just think out of all the classic teams, this may be the worst match up the warriors could ask for.. but it would be a hell of a series.. Bulls in 6

Motivated mj is a nightmare!!!! Especially if they play in todays rules gs if on fire can shoot the lights out but they not hitting all them 3s the defense was just too strong and if people think the bulls couldn’t adjust they are crazy

Some of the points you mentioned for the GSW would work with modern rules but a couple would need the 90's rules. Since you mentioned the pistons they used the Jordan rules and nothing close defensively can happen with modern rules.

Rodman avg 15 rebounds a game. Would probably get 20 rebpunds a game given warriors lack of size. He got you more than 3 or 4 more extra possessions. Probably 6 or 7 extra possessions a game. Huge X factor

don’t need to talk about this either ways, which rules, the rules that in favors in that era will win if 17 rules, what to block and rebound if all 3s are in the basket? if 96 rules, what to shot 3s if guards handchecks and blocks you and not to mention it was pure physicality? so I don’t know what rule both teams that can be applied that is not in favor of either one.

It depends on what rules you have. Both teams would have to make roster changes depending upon which rules are implemented.

GREAT VIDEO!!! The '96 Bulls were more adaptable to different styles of play. They could score 120 or 90 and handedly beat opponents. Also Jordan's bloodlust for victory is the X-factor in a 7 game series.

They can never score over 110 points against Golden State 🤣🤣 not mentioning that Rodman isn't offensive player and nobody would guard him so they can double team every time MJ. Anyway, I agree that Jordan is unstopable, maybe Golden State can't defend him, bur for me they would put the biggest presure on him than Amy other team that he played against. But even if Jordan score 45, Pippen will score over 20 while Golden State are much faster team than Bulls and in transition and with threes, they will destroy Bulls: Durant will score 40 points, Curry will score 40 or 35, Klay will score 25 and all of the role players and bench players from Golden State will be better than role player from Chicago. Bulls were great, but stop it, Warriors wins this series easily...

KD in 2017 averaged 35 points, 82 rebounds, 5,4 assists on 55% from the field, 47% from deep and 91% from free throws.

Steph guard Ron Harper, easy job.

Who guards who? PG - Steph - Harper SG - Thompson - Jordan SF - Durant - Pippen PF - Green - Rodman C - Pachulia - Longley 6th man - Iguodala - Kukoc 7th man - Livingston - Kerr - Harper was 6'6 his length would give steph fits. However, everyone is bigger than steph and he will still find a way to get his shot off. (Tie) - Jordan is Jordan and would make Thompson look slow. However, Thompson is good on defense and would slow him down a little bit (Advantage Jordan) - Durant would get slowed down but no one has his height and efficiency and handle. (Advantage Durant) - Green beats Rodman on offense but Rodman beats Green defensively (Tie) Pachulia is Pachulia and Longley is Longley. Pachulia would play dirty and get the upper hand (Advantage Pachulia - Barely) - Iguodala is older at this time and Kukoc would take the advantage (Advantage Kukoc) - Livingston wins in the post and passing and defense and Kerr wins at 3 pointers (Advantage Livingston) Warriors would run the Bulls ragged due to the ball movement. The bulls would be exhausted playing the Warriors. Being exhausted means they can't guard the 3 as well. With 3 of the best shooters of all time this is a huge unfair advantage. The bulls would be physical and take the spirit and will out of the Warriors. I also believe Rodman would get in Greens head on MULTIPLE occasions and Green would be ejected at least 2 times if not 3 times. Being that the Bulls have the ultimate and best closer of all time the Bulls win in 7 on a last second shot.

People tend to forget that the 3-point line is shortened in 1996. Just imagine what will happen when Curry, Klay and KD will do from beyond the arc; kind of like the olympics and we all know KD is unstoppable in the olympics. Also while the bulls have four elite defenders in their best lineup, the warriors do as well. Yes, defense wins championships, but then with both good defense but one has more offensive weapons, the one with better offense wins; just look at how the Spurs took down the pistons in 2005 because they have duncan, Parker and ginobili.

@@soramirez5473 Who is going to guard KD? The Bulls were a great defensive team, but no defensive player is going to slow down Curry or KD on a 1-1. So yeah, as great as Jordan, Pippen and Harper are defensively, they ain't stopping them. Curry is a superb dribbler, who is only bested by Kyrie and Irving in dribbling. He also has a ton a gravity while on the court, forcing teams to double o triple team him in possessions. That would give a ton of open looks for KD or Thompson. Pippen would probabaly be assigned to KD, but KD just has so many options. He can dunk on him in transition since he is taller and has a longer reacher, or just dribble off him and shoot a mid range to score. Now, Klay being more of a spot up shooter wouldn't be bothered that much by the Bulls defense, since the Bulls would most probably try to focus either on Curry or KD. But, the second you try to double either KD or Curry, Klay would be open on the wing with a jumper, and since he is also a lethal shooter, that would hurt the Bulls so much.

Everyone has a cop out trying to use the era defense. The answer is the 96 Bulls regardless of era, they win in 5 games if it's the 90s, they win in 6 or 7 if its the modern era. The only edge GSW has is better bench players, and the only hope is having Klay come off the bench and getting off while the Bulls defensive threats are out of the game. If not there are enough front cuts, back cuts, ball screens to stop Jordan, Pippen, Harper and Rodman from hounding the opponents regardless of the era.

90s rules- Bulls in 5 Modern rules- Bulls in 7. In modern rules I figure there will be three games that the Warriors just shoot the lights out. But I think the elite defense of the Bulls will win out more often. In fact, I predict that in a 7 game series, the Warriors will score more total points in the series but still lose in 7. Like the Bulls lost to the Knicks in 7 in 94.
