1996 Bulls vs 2017 Warriors: Battle of GOAT Teams 

There will be two Steve Kerrs The 30 year old and the 51 year old It will look awkward but I guess that’s how time travel works

@@gridirongod4207 If 51 year old Kerr meet his 30 year old version time space continuum will blow up the Universe

Which one do you think MJ would punch in the face first?

Never bet against MJ in the finals either

Warriors with KD never lost either

@@SamuelJ888 lol they lost to the Raps way back 4 years ago what the F were you smoking boy

@@jbl7946 the Pistons 3 peated? hahahaha what the F are you flapping about you big dead i--t lmao

That's what these fantasy videos always miss. Who's gonna stop Jordan and that triangle with no resistance on the perimeter and no big in the paint? Warriors start shooting 3s, they better make them all cuz they won't get a single rebound off Chicago offensively or defensively.

100% 90's rules Bulls win it in 5, Present rules Bulls win in 6

Plus defense was way different in the 90’s, the rules were slightly different .. so what ears would they play in? Jordan or curry’s time??

It'd be worse considering they'd being playing with a normal distance 3pt line this time around with zone defense being allowed.

Lets be real, bulls will be blown out every game.

Good one 🤣

they can play defense without fouling lol

@@broy08 not in todays league. Literally everything up until this yr was a foul.

😁😅

That's impossible. The '96 Bulls roster was one of the fiercest at clogging up the passing lanes.

Common fouls back then are flagrant fouls now.. half the team would be suspended on a daily basis

The 1997 bulls went to game 6 Warriors in 2017-2018 only lost one game in two finals

The same bulls that went game 6 against the seattle supersonics?

@@VelaniTheOne What are you even implying?

@@feelcollins4358 im implying that the 2017 golden state warriors would do better than the 96 supersonics

@@VelaniTheOne Bro GSW had to injure the Spur's star to get past them in 2017, and again in 2018 against Houston where it went to game 7 when another star got injured just for them to barely scrape a win even with 4 all stars on their roster. I'd definitely see GSW winning against Bulls if they did a Zaza play on MJ who was the main scorer for the Bulls.

@@jestanuthername lol bulls wouldn't stand a chance. I only granted them 1 out of respect.

@@quantumhype9839 ok 7 years old

Ye I love Dray, but Rodman is the original mold

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.

@@loosenup8152 did you see that series? Pacers were a helluva squad. Actually should have won the series. Unlike the Rockets who were not on the warriors level. It lemme guess..born in the 90’s?

The warriors focus their defense on the perimeter because today’s player can shoot 3s. With the bulls that mean that you have to guard just Kerr from 3.

Lol you know it was MJs career high in 3 pointers that year because the NBA had shortened the 3pt distance for 3 years before goin back to original length.

Both 😂

Absolutely

@@bamshakfwangyil1301 Really? What about Pistons in the early 90s?

So LeBron wouldn't lead both teams in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks🤔

@@yungslic5363 no he wouldn’t lead Jordan in points, he wouldn’t lead Rodman in rebounds, he wouldn’t lead Pippen or Jordan in steals. He would most likely keep his blocks and assists. And him having the most turnovers is a lock.

17 warriors with KD not losing either which is the argument…….

@@DrzPapi126 The Celtics locked down KD with physical defense; imagine what the Bull's defense would do.

They would win either series especially in todays league

kukoc's shooting is wildly overrated...He was solid for his time but literally 30% was solid for his time but not in 2017

by todays rules rodman would probably be thrown out first

@@SeanNg__n yea he made it when it counted that's all we going by.

@@detroitcity27 I got a theory

yo we talking about the 17 warriors, not 16. So it's not the warriors team who blew a 3-1 lead to Lebron. it's the warriors who went 73-9 in the regular season, and then added KEVIN DURANT. lol so yeah, greatest team of all time right, bulls stand no chance.

@@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...

​@@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.

@@patoooo2 I was going to let you slide because quite honestly its a waste of time. This could be proven to you over and over again and still you'd choose to ignore facts. How does one over exaggerate someone hanging on your arms while shooting the basketball and it not being called, this is hand checking in the 80s - 90s WE HAVE THE TAPES, WE HAVE THE INFORMATION. The blasphemy of Dennis Rodman a true lock down 1-5 defender, not being able to defend guards? You are kidding right? This is what I mean when i say people squander their own moments in history. You have this information at the tips of your fingers and yet...repeat other people's tired arguments. Dennis Rodman commonly guarded the centers, and power fowards for the Bulls as they had 2 of the best wing defenders in the league, and NO dominant center to guard the paint and rim. Dennis Rodman was the best defender the bulls had even at 34, thats not a debate. If you want to argue his defensive capabilities in 97' 98' sure but we are discussing 96' so go watch some film Nick Wright.

@@patoooo2 MJ played against zone in an inferior offensive scheme 01-03 and was averaging what? at 38-40 years old? Your ignorance is a joke. 01-03 MJ AVG PTS- 21.2 AST 4.4 TRB 5.9 STL 1.5

And the Warriors better hope those 3s fall at AT LEAST a 60% clip cuz if not, they're losing. They have no one to battle with Chicago on the offensive and defensive glass.

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.

@@shaft9000 NO, it was because Giannis had an all time historic series. If giannis played even a little worse they would have lost.

💀 “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

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...

@@chrisstrong7584 I didn't said they will average 40. I said if there is only 1 game against Chicago, Jordan can score 45, Durant can score 40, Curry 35 and Klay 25. No, they can't average 40 points in a 7 games series and neither can Jordan against that Warriors team. And check this out, of Chicago from 1996 are the greatest team in NBA history, Jordan played that year the worst finals in his career, he averaged 27 points per game on 41% shooting from the field and just 4 assists per game and 1,7 steals. KD in 2017 averaged 35 points, 82 rebounds, 5,4 assists on 55% from the field, 47% from deep and 91% from free throws. Healso averaged 1,6 blocks per game and 1 steal per game soo that Chicago team is soo good historicly only because they won 72 games in the regular season. In the finals they definitely didn't played soo impressive like you are watching the greatest team ever while Golden State in 2017 were whole play off from another planet, but especially in the finals. In the Finals they destoyed both Lebron and Kyrie and btw to see how impressive that duo eas, both of them had 1 game where they scored 40+ points and Golden State still beat them in 5 games. Chicago will dener destroy soo bad that Cleavlend team because these Sonix definitely weren't better than Cleavlend. Defensively yeah sure, but offensively Cleavlend were much better team. Soo simply Warriors in 2017 had more impressive finals performance than Chicago in 1996 and Jordan played the worst final that year whuch means that Jordan's version wouldn't be soo good against Warriors.
