In a video he did with GQ Sports this week, the Golden State Warriors superstar point guard Stephen Curry talked about some topics, including some of the teams from the dynasty years he was a part of compared to the Chicago Bulls dynasty teams of the 1990s.
A video that Curry did with GQ Sports on Jan. 10 saw him respond to fan questions on the internet, including one mentioning the 1996 Bulls. He answered the question as to whether he felt like the 2017 Warriors would be able to top the 1996 Bulls in an NBA Finals series. Curry responded by saying that he actually believes the 2017 Warriors would beat the 1996 Bulls in six games.
Although, he did note that we won’t “ever really know” what happens in the oft-compared 1996 Bulls vs. 2017 Warriors hypothetical NBA Finals series.
This is a topic often brought up in discussion when thinking about some of the best teams in NBA history. Steph and the Warriors put together the most dominant team of the 2010s as they won three titles between 2015 and 2018.
Stephen Curry believes the 2017 Warriors could beat Michael Jordan and the 1996 Chicago Bulls
There were some great Warriors teams of the 2010s. And the trio of Steph, star shooting guard/small forward Klay Thompson, and superstar forward Kevin Durant were some of the driving forces to the Warriors winning many of the titles that they did in the 2010s.
It is obviously true that we will never know what would happen if the all-time great shooting guard Michael Jordan ever faced Curry and the Warriors from some of their best squads in the dynasty years for each respective franchise.
Jordan and the Bulls won six NBA titles in the 1990s, including with that record-breaking 1996 squad. It would surely be interesting to see what would happen if two of the best teams in NBA history between the 1996 Bulls and 2017 Warriors were able to meet on the court, though.
Jordan and Curry are both great in their own right. Jordan is still noted by most as the best player in NBA history. And Curry should be regarded at this point as the best shooter in NBA history after he broke the three-point record earlier this season.
