@jwil2414 how lols. Zone? First l, triangle offense was designed against zone. Second, MJ is medium range shooter he will be taking lots of those if no one bodies him up. What do you think zone does? It protects an area in the court which is primarily the inside lane. That will only limit the offense from coming in but without a legit defensive center that will not be as effective.

People forget that MJ was a great perimeter defender.

That MJ 50 nightly hits hard. Yeah, prepare your best defenders 😂

What people forget, is how the bulls played full court defense for long period of streetches (Rodman, Pippen, Jornda, Harper are fully capable of harrassing everyone), and the fact that the Triangule offense will provide a more steady efficient offense, which wouldn't allow GSW to have the same number of fast breaks as they had (making the full court press, easier) Look, GSW were a great team, but they beat a lot of teams who wanted to copy their style without the same weapons. If you try to run-n-gun you're way out of a game with them you will be smoked. But the bulls would transform this into a half-court game, slow pace, efficient buckets, try to be physical with them (we are bigger, longer, stronger) so we can draw fouls... 4-2 to the bulls!

Probably the closest thing to the Warriors in the era was the 93 Suns. That's when the Bulls showed they could defeat a high-octane modern offense. The Bulls match up incredibly well with Golden State. Pippen was still fully healthy and he was a better athlete than KD. Ron Harper gives them the ability to play a modern switching defense to handle Golden State's spacing. Ultimately the Bulls would physically impose their will on the Warriors like they did with everyone else.

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 doesn’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.

Great video. Sorry, I'm bias: Bulls in 5!!! Like you said, with all the hand-checking rules now, Jordan would do very well today.

This was never close same as the jordan vs lebron debates. its fun to talk about but the reality is It would not be close. 3 guys who can arguably be considered top 10 defenseive players of all time. That is the difference. The gap between the offenses of the 2 teams when you include Kerr and Kukoc is not as far from the warriors as you think. However the gap in defenses is insanely huge. Even if the warriors finished 2nd that season. Other then Draymond. none of them will ever be considered great defenders. Add on coaching gap + Michael's killer instinct. Its GG before it starts.

I watched the 90s Bulls and know that MJ, Pippen and Kukoc however great wouldn't be enough offense to outscore the Warriors. Defensively the Bulls could compete but the Warriors also had great defenders with Iggy, Green, Durant, and Klay. Although the Bulls had great perimeter defense the defense of the 90s lined up inside the 3 point line and the PF and Center on the blocks. You have to guard the Warriors out to the hash mark and at the corners. Defensively the 90s guarded position by position today they would have to defend all over the floor and that would make a big difference because the Bulls would have to spend a lot more energy on Defense than they had to in the 90s.

If the 2018 Rockets almost beat the 2018 warriors then 1996 Bulls will beat them becaee the 1996 Bulls will sweep the Rockets

In paper the most successful Bulls campaign was the 1996 campaign. BUT in terms of the strength and depth of roster the 97 Bulls were the most loaded. 9 games prior to the start of the playoffs, they signed a Horace Grant 6'10 type of PF/C named Bison Dele/Brian Williams whos averaging 15.00ppg the season before with the Clippers? (After the season he signed with the Pistons and was averaging 16ppg and became the highest paid Pistons player in 1998). Kerr described him as the most gifted athletic big in the league, and he pointed out that the Bulls could not have won the title without him (Toni got hurt, he was not playing 100% and against the Jazz he was dunking with authority against the likes of Karl Malone from inside the paint). Having said that (comparing the Bulls 97 with the GSW 2017). Offensively they are all even, The GSW edge in perimeter shooting maybe negated by the Bulls inside presence. Not to mention that the Bulls got length in terms of Rebounds that may have the edge . Overall I think the Bulls would defeat the GSW, specifically in the defense department. And I have seen the GSW succumbed to the Cavaliers during the finals series when the CAVS applied defensive pressure .and turned the tide Klay and Steph missed even open shots because they got out of sync. Matchups Durant against Kukoc/Pippen Curry against Jordan/Pippen, Thompson. Harper/Jordan/ Green/Rodman. Questions: Whos going to guard Michael ? Whos going to guard Brian Williams? (Green may have a hard time guarding Brian, he`s taller, bigger (wide body), and also quick. Here are the links to give you a glimpse of Bison Dele/Brian Williams game/s kzread.info/dash/bejne/hWdrs9ONn9m5kZc.html and kzread.info/dash/bejne/mqSf3JKRqa-ueJs.html

Between these two teams it would all come down to defense and the Bulls had that on lock. We don't even have to talk about scoring the Bulls wouldn't have had any problems scoring.

A team that pressured their opponents from end to end I mean suffocating them. If I remember correctly Pippen Jordan and Rodman were all voted NBA All-Defensive team that year. The Warriors would've ran into a major problem against that bulls stifling defense. That frontcourt pressure just gave teams fits. Let's not forget Rodman is one of the original Bad Boys and never had problem getting physical. The job he was able to do in the ecf series against Shaq at only 6'7 was amazing. The credit definitely goes to the defensive mastermind Johnny Bach who was responsible for laying the foundation.

The 2021-22 Warriors play a triangle style offense. When I watch that team I can see the same player movement as Phil & Tex Winter ran bk in the 90's. They add more screens within their movements to get Steph open looks, but Steve Kerr has most def taken a pages out of Phil and Pops books. After the Bulls v Warriors gm in Calli I posted a comment saying this is how Billy Donovan should be running his offense, Triangle Style.

Bulls in six playing in any Era under any rules Jordan wouldn't let them lose period.

‘96 Bulls win with ‘96 rules and ‘96 refs. KD would get shut down by Rodman. I think Steph and Klay could probably get a ton of open shots but they won’t be able to get stops on the other end. And eventually, Steph is gonna get beat up in a 7 game series. In 2017, with 2017 rules and refs, GSW have a really good chance of beating the Bulls. I grew up in Chicago in the ‘90s. That was my team, but if you can’t hand check and be physical, I don’t see how you guard the 2017 GSW.

I concur with these analyses. And in my personal opinion, the bulls all the way, the game rules, play style, gives the bulls the advatage no doubt. and in my opinion, if jordan hadnt retired due to the tragic death of his father (still unsolved basically), the bulls would or may have had an eigh win streak, possibly ten if jerry hadnt fired phil. my opinion. and i think the stats can back it up somewhat.

96 bulls They were good in defense, plus they have 4 defensive specialists, Jordan, Pippen, Dennis and Ron, I would say bulls in 6 games

First, the Bulls starting 5 were all elite defenders and never would have doubled any of the warriors. The warriors only advantage is their offense but defensively they would be liability. The Bull were accustomed to tough physical defense against them which the warriors don't know how to create simply because it was long sincr abolished befor they were ever in the league. The baby soft defense they would use on the Bulls would insultingly inefficient and lacking in potency. The warrior would rarely reach the basket on the drive because the Bulls were too potent on interior D so the Warriors would live and die at the 3 pt line. Jordan would guard Curry and Harper would guard Klay. Klay is a great shooter but far from consistany like curry. He's streaky. Kevin Durant is a great scorer but it's in the era of liw contact defense and we just watched the Celtics crush him in last yr's playoffs. Scottie would be a nightmare for Durant. Scotties defensive weakness was against fast, dynamic offensive players like kobe, Penny, Tracy Mcgrady. But Durant is tall and lainky, and no that quick. Scottie wouldn't be able to shit him down completely but he definitley give him hell. Drammond and Rodman is comical. Rodman litterally shut down a prime Shaq more than once plus he was a master manipulator and his specialty was getting under your skin. Drammond is not even close to being Shaq-ish. And that's just the starting 5. The bulls were extremely efficient scorers because the drove to the basket successfully quite often so they wouldn't rely on the 3. Jordan has the highest scoring average in NBA history without shooting 3's. If the Warrior have even 1 or 2 off nights from 3 land, it's a rap. My Timberwolves are not a strong defensive team and the warriors often have a really tough time against them. Jordan would force Curry to shoot half court 3 continuosly. Let's nkt forget that he led the league in syeals 3 x's and was top 5 every other season with the Bulls. He, Scottie and olajuwan are the only players to have 200 steals and 100 blocks in a season and MJ did it twice. Bulls in 6

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.

Depends on what generations Rules your playing with....

One thing no one mentions.... Who would you think the public liked more to watch? I bet even the golden state crowd would cheer slightly for the bulls and that style of play of Jordan than the way they play now a days. That will definitely tip the balance in favor of the Bulls... Add to that the insatiable quest for winning from Jordan and bulls can't be beat. Adding that Jordan came back from his defeat super motivated.

You wrote Bulls fan fiction.

...well i think it would be important under which rules they played...

If it's with today's rule. I think this series would go to game 7, and be the first Game 7 finals that MJ would have. Game 7 would be a coin flip for either team.

I feel like the bulls will win. Yes warriors will win in the 3 pt game but the 3 pt is not consistent and curry is not that type of player to knock down 8 per night. He have games like 1-13 and if were putting MJ on him I doubt he would even score more than 15 points. MJ also do not depend on the 3 pt but instead he is a midrange master. We seen DeMar do it many of times where his midrange is literally unguardable on some plays. MJ is way better than DeMar with his play-style, mans was flying. If DeMar is getting foul like 8+ per game then imagine MJ because his era was tough so imagine how many free throws MJ would attempt. I also doubt that KD and Draymond can guard him both at the same time. Now lets get to defense. Bulls defense is still good. They need to learn to contest shots and readjust to the new era. MJ will readjust to the new era easily due to his mentality and competitiveness. Its hard to compare the old and new era defense. Also if the bulls shoot more 3s, I think they would be on par with warriors in consistency. They should anyway bc rodman is rodman.

The 3 point line was moved in closer in 1996. People never talk about that

My answer before was that “it depends on which rules” But now, after seeing how well the 97 Bulls would switch on screens vs Utah and Indiana in 98, I change my stance and think the Bulls can beat the Warriors even with todays rules. They weren’t a typical 90s team that relied on a big man where you can create mismatches on switches. They had lineups where Kukoc or Rodman were the tallest players and they can get out on guards on the perimeter. While they definitely won’t play the 3 ball game, the analytics don’t tell you how inside shots not only get the opponents in foul trouble, but they also allow for better offensive rebounding position

yeah the bulls played small before anyone else and they played small without actually going small. they had some of the lengthiest players and were all between 6'6 and 6'11".

@@scottb3034 yup. Phil Jackson explained in a recent interview with Scott Williams that with Pippen, they were able to stop Detroit’s pick and pop plays with Laimbeer or one of the guards up top

Because I've watch both teams play I feel the bulls would win because they could switch on defence no matter who had ball cause they all were good defenders 6.6 or taller and curry could not stop any one that posted him up and that is the biggest mismatch and difference in this series

Scottie was very good at shutting down point guards. I would put Scottie on Steph and Dennis on KD. The beauty of the 96 Bulls was that they had 4 elite defenders that could defend multiple positions.

I am a GSW homer, have loved the last decade of success. But, I am old enough to have seen those Bulls teams. I always rooted against them lol. At a certain point, you just gotta recognize greatness. There are certain probable outcomes where GSW beat Chicago. I mean, there are some permutations where Curry, KD, and Klay just shoot out of there minds, and its not really a stretch. But, if I had to bet, under any rules, 90s, or post-Otts...the Bulls win a majority of the series/contests. At the end of the day, one team has MJ, and one team does not.

this is not even a conversation bulls easily win no doubt broth era's

We always compare the 1996 Bulls, who I think would beat the 2017 Warriors. I also think the 1991 - 1993 Bulls would win. MJ, Pippien, Grant. Youth vs Youth. Paxon, BJ, Cartwright, Hodges, Will Purdue, Stacey King.etc.

It will be depend on which rules they will be playing on. with 90s rules GSW will have hard time scoring like they do now. with current rules MJ will be scoring like a machine in every single match easily 40+ average. Yes GSW can out score with 3s if they somehow barrage the Bulls, but for how many games can they actually score 80+ with 3s? They obviously have no chance in the paint.

The X factor is Tony Kukoc for the Bulls.

I think the biggest factor is the rules. If real defense is allowed.. the physicality and lack of space would have the warriors so rattled I doubt the long rang accuracy would be what everyone expects. You see what happened to KD when the Celtics played physical defense on him last year? He was totally thrown off. Jordan would completely dismantle the warriors mentally.. not to mention Rodman an Pipp. It was a brute man's game in the 90s.

NO HAY FORMA DE QUE UN EQUIPO ACTUAL PUDIERAN CON ESE EQUIPO DE LOS BULL.. ademas la presión con la que jugaban esos jugadores de los 90 . No es la misma que ahora.

Sooo, would Steve Kerr be playing, or coaching? Just asking for a friend (Popp/Blake).

You had to experience the physical nature of the game back then. Statistics doesn’t reveal how they would match up. Many of us saw some tooth and nail games where fast past high scoring teams were shut down. It came down to who was better at chess, of which Michael was a master. The warriors would need to master the half court game to stand a chance against the bulls. The west had high scoring teams in the 90’s that couldn’t win the long game against the bulls. In todays game MJ would score more and draw more fouls.

Steph really want to be guarded by the Goat😆

That would be interesting to see as Jordan never guarded a player of the calibre of Steph. Always guarded average players who played at 2 like him.

The NBA needs to turn the Hand Check setting back on.

Its Rodman over Raymond by a mile - Draymond would go insane and get suspended. Rodman would keep his cool and laugh his ass off. . And NOBODY ever will be the competitor that MJ was. MJ would find a way.

I agree 100%! MJ was the most competitive player I have ever seen, hands down! Larry (Legend) Bird was a very close second, in my book.

I think MJ is much better than people think he was. He was unstoppable monster who could very easy adjust to today standards

Great take I agree bulls in 6 or 7 . No one would be Abe to stop the goat !!!23 !!!!

Rodman was gonna press some buttoms. Cause some explosions.

i think one factor not highlighted enough is how physically dominant the 96 bulls were. from 88 to 90, they kept losing to the bad boys of pistons. so they buffed starting with jordan, until by 91 they were the physically superior team. and they maintained this physicality thus dominating this game for a 3peat. by 96, this team was a battle hardened monster. then, put the gsw team, who is used to playing safely, in 96. i imagine they would be bullied and crushed in a sweep. well, that's just me and my imagination.

Those bulls teams would beat any team in the league now!

1996 Chicago Bulls! ❤All Day

The evolution of basketball leans towards Warriors. It pains my heart to admit it. Bulls might be throwing elbows Warriors aren't built like that. Bulls in 7.

Why would you double KD? Pip can handle him.

This video is ok on the service but missing a lkt of details. The size length and athletic ability of the bulls would dominate. The abilities of the perimeter defenders on the bulls would disrupt the Warriors offense and the bulls would force turnovers and get out and run. Phil would play everybody straight up man defense switch on pick and roll. MJ Pippen and Harper some of the best weak side defenders. Warriors would get out coached and out played in 5.

We will never know...

The Bulls’ stable of big bodies (kept on hand to provide six fouls to throw at guys like Olajuwon, Ewing, Shaq, etc.) would be completely unplayable. Even after dropping the Herman Munsters, the Bulls are still left with too many one-way players. There’s a reason you don’t see many one-way players getting significant minutes on good teams anymore. And then there’s the “Moneyball” issue. Would the Bulls suffer from their era’s misconception of the value of threes vs long twos?

This is what it would be: 1996 NBA Rules - The physical and harrassment the Golden State Warriors will get with all the physicality offense and defense of that era would break them. 2017 NBA Rules - They Will make MJ, Pippen & Rodman even more unguardable. Jordan, Pippen & Rodman played when there was no 3 in the key on defense. Everytime they went to the paint Jordan had the best shot blockers of all time plus a crowded paint waiting on him and it didn't faze him at all. Now? Now the paint is wide open! First, the 11x championship "Triangle offense" was designed against zone. Second, MJ is medium range shooter he will be taking lots of those if no one bodies him up. What do you think zone does? It protects an area in the court which is primarily the inside lane. That will only limit the offense from coming in but without a legit defensive center that will not be as effective.

Jordan guards Steph. Jordan outscores him +12-15 each game. Harper guards Thompson. Thompson out scores him + 12-15 each game. Pippen guards Durant. Durant outscores him +5-7 each game but would need to outscore Scottie +10 each game for GSW to win. Rodman on Green. Green outscores him +5 each game. Longley/Wennington/Williams vs. GSW bigs. Chicago bigs outscore GSW bigs +5-7 each game. Bench. Bulls outscore GSW warriors bench +6-10 each game. It's close, but Chicago wins this thing in 7.

The Bulls will still be a destructive team - both are good in defense and offense.

Warriors ain't got the roughness to compete especially if it was the 90s & if it was the 2000s the bulls would of adjusted to the style of play & speed they would of been even more hard to stop no hand check rule guarding Jordan or pip gonna cost anybody & rodam love to switch up & guard your best scorer he gonna flustere then he fast & strong he know how to get in your head luke longley will dominate he too big & strong kukoc will be another problem to deal with his was Croatia best player he just was coming off the bench for extra fire power Harper could take over a game he a well known scorer probably slowed down a lil when he got to the bulls but was still active I got bulls in 4

You wouldn't double team Kevin Durant. The Clippers took that warriors team 6 with Pat Bev, Lou Williams, and Montrelz Harrell as the main core of the team. Kawhi Leonard had them down 21 points before as I injured him for the series. The Houston Rockets had them down 3-2 before Chris Paul got injured. Are any of those teams or players better than The 96 Bulls?

It's all about era. Back then defense is good today lack of it so it's era.

Steve Kerr is the real winner in my opinion...he's part of both teams,even Jordan couldn't accomplish that lol...

As basketball fan Bulls would win in 6... The greatest perimeter defence will lock on. Most fan just looking on offensive end only. They overlooking the defensive end. Jordan got Rodman and Pippen.

The bulls hands down they had a defense like no othe pippen, Rodman, Jordan, kukoc, an Harper they would have them on lock and made them work for pionts. The other problem is who's going to stop Jordan

God bless everyone and have a good day,.
