The '16-17 Warriors Or The '95-96 Bulls: Who Is Better? | The Jump | ESPN 

I’d pay good money just to see Rodman and Green go at each other

If the 96' Bulls were around now, Durant would demand a trade immediately 😂😂😂

"When you're winning, you learn how to cheat a little bit" --Scottie Pippen (I like that)

The 96 bulls were a machine they exploited every mistake

Bulls win in 4, Kerr knows all GS plays

When ESPN'S views are down, they talk about Jordan to bring their ratings up.

You should remember that in 96 season 3 players from bulls were part of the nba 1st all-defensive team. Jordan, Pippen and Rodman. They win because of DEFENSE.

The bad boys back then tried to stop MJ by beating him in every game but still win and have a high score. What do you think would MJ do if no one can't touch him?

Steve Kerr wins either way, hahahaha!

Why aren't they talking about the fact that if they played today's rules means you can't touch Michael which means he's scoring maybe 50pts a game.

Chicago always...72-10 !!! With Ring!!!!

If they’re playing under today’s rules, then who on the Warriors is going to guard Michael Jordan? Under today’s rules, Jordan would average 60 points a game in the Finals.

Pippen is so damn humble, i love it. What a quiet beast

Bulls, no doubt. No matter the rules. Pippen on Steph Rodman on Durant Jordan on Klay Harper on Green Easy.

I still think Jordan would drop 50 at least against the Warriors, and Dennis Rodman. Holy shit, his rebounding average would be scary with the fast pace.

If the free agency rules were the same during the Bulls' championship run as they are now, the Bulls would have had David Robinson, Magic Johnson and Charles Barkley on their team

pippen is so humble. they're just gonna cancel each other. damn!

People saying Warriors will beat Bulls in today's rules are very mistaken. 1. Pippen, Jordan, Harper and Rodman are elite defenders.They can ADJUST to the rules. Shannon touched the topic when he said imagine having 4 Kahwi caliber defenders playing at the same time. 2. People forget Bulls in todays rules will be BETTER OFFENSIVELY since they will have an easier time without the contact. 3. Zone defense won't work against Jordan because of his flawless midrange game and has been breaking double teams all his career. 4. Toni Kukoc will be a breakout player. He was the prototype stretch 4 of his era. He has better post game than any of the stretch 4's today and shoots the 3 ball. 5. Bulls can play small with Rodman, Kukoc, Pippen, Harper and Jordan. 6. People forget the mental toughness of the Bulls. They always think Rodman is the "bully" of that team. They forget how big of a trash talker Jordan and Pippen were in their careers.

This girl saying scottie was just "ok" on defense are u kidding me scottie was a beast on defense

1996 rules: Bulls by 20 2017 rules: Bulls by 50

I hate these comparisons. its always the younger guys saying that the warriors are better and the older guys saying the bulls are better. Team comparisons are pointless because the only way we would find out is if they played.

96 Bulls are literally the perfect team to beat the Warriors, they have them covered in every single area ! and then MJ would just go to work and absolutely dominate them.

3 of the greatest to ever play the game, and humble AF!! Respect!!

Man the way Vince Carter looked at Scottie Pippen at the 2:35 Mark after he insinuated that MAYBE Jordan could hold Klay. His face said; *WHAT U SMOKIN TODAY, HOMIE??!*

Rodman would eat Draymond alive

Harper's size on Curry would be a problem and Longley would own Pachulia. Oh and Rodman vs Green equals spontaneous combustion. Great match up

I soooo love that Scottie Pippen is here after seeing how dominant this era of GSW are, BUT ALSO played on that same '95-96 team with the Bulls so he can offer unique insight! Awesome stuff!

Never watched a single game of 16-17 season so that should be your answer

if anything else the 96 Bulls was a god damn nightmare for the whole NBA. tough as nails defense and even the bench players can play defense

Defense always comes up on top, Bulls had 3 players im the first all deffense team

As a *WARRIORS* fan its an honor just to be in the conversation

The jump my fav shows on ESPN //underrated

3:35 oh Scottie would give it to her really bad xD

Steve Kerr on which side?

Tough call, The Bulls were a brutally effective defensive unit. I think they would give any team a difficult time putting the ball in the hole. Give Pippen props for being humble.

...Imagine Draymond playing THIS Team with 90s Rules. He Wouldn't Have Enough TEARS.

3:34 Rachel wanted Pip's Dominant D 🤣

Ron Harper is very underrated on D.

IM GOING WITH THE 95 - 96 BULL'S

Just the match ups would be awesome to see... I imagine Pip is on KD... Jordan on Klay... Harper on Steph.. Rodman on Green. Those would be epic to watch. No matter who was matched up it would be fun to see Scottie, Jordan and Rodman defending that squad. Harper as well bc he's extremely underrated. Plus the Bulls would have the biggest advantage in coaching. Golden State wouldn't have their head coach bc he would be coming off the Bulls bench.... hahahaha. I just blew my own mind

vince carter should have joined the warriors to get a free ride to the ship...

Zaza would break Jordans ankles.

Great to see Vince Carter, i hope he continues as an analyst.

I miss the golden era of basketball.

The BEST big 3 of MJ PIPPEN & RODMAN that i've ever seen & my favorate of all time

If the Bulls are killing teams in the 90s with physical play what do you think they would do with the easier game today if Jordan drops 30 in the 90s he's dropping 45 in this era come on think about it guys

Great points by these veterans. These guys know the game. I think in all of their hearts, they know the Bulls win that matchup with either set of rules.

These guys are my youth heroes.. I could watch this all day long

Who is the best player on both of the teams? Paul Pierce: me

16-17 easily old heads just don’t wanna admit it

For me the biggest question mark is how well Harper could contain Curry. If he can’t handle Steph then you have to put Scottie on Steph, which ultimately leaves Klay for Harper. You’re not going to keep Jordan away from Durant. Jordan would want him. Period. He would break KD’s fragile mental before the first half. Rodman would drive Green insane. It would be hilarious. Green would foul out very quickly.

Scottie says Durant would sweep him He's soo humble Gem of a guy💎💎

I don't think rules would matter...96 bulls would sweep them.

The 95-96 Bulls had something that just made you pay attention and not look away. I remember watching every televised game of the Bulls that year with pure excitement. You just knew you were gonna see something awesome happen and rarely did they ever disappoint.

The fact that they don’t think Kd and curry wouldn’t dominate in the 90s because of “hand check” is hilarious to me

Cmon old guys this is not about the rules and regulation this is about how they play the game, Golden state is not a one man show unlike Bulls that MJ is the only guy who carrying the team

Bulls! Pippen and Jordan were amazing together!

if pippen played today he'll have 1 or 2 DPOY awards

Every time I see Paul P I always feel like getting shoulder relax and Chips flying at the back

Harper played a real DEFENSE.

If you couldn’t hand check Jordan. Words can’t describe what he would do.

90's Rules, Bulls in a sweep. Today's Rules, Bulls in 6. Remember, Jordan doesn't do Game 7's in the Finals, he doesn't need to. With today's Rules, where Defense has basically been BANNED and replaced with Flopping, a player like Pippen goes from being a 20ppg scorer to being a 26ppg scorer. Toni Kukoc would fit right in to this NBA. Remember, he was already used to playing this style in his League back home. They were the first league where their 7 footers were taking and making 3's. He was 6'11" and shooting 3's. In today's NBA he'd score approximately 20ppg, and remember, he was a good Point Forward who could run the offense and a good passer. Best for last..............Who is going to stop the Best Scorer this league has ever seen in Jordan!!!????? In today's NBA, Jordan would average 50ppg!!!!!! People always ask "How are the Bulls going to stop the warriors players".......they fail to even mention "How is GS going to stop Bulls players!" Bottom line is, I have more confidence in the Bulls Elite Defense to at least slow down GS than I do with GS's Defense to slow down the Bulls! A better matchup I would want to see would be this GS team playing a team like those Bad Boy Pistons!! THAT would be fun to watch!!! lol!!! How would GS players react to Bill Laimbeer!!?? Also the matchups like I.Thomas vs S.Curry. K.Thompson vs J.Dumars. Rodzilla vs Green. Who wins?

The Bulls, hands down. They went up against one of the best Western Conference teams in the Utah Jazz. Karl Malone was averaging nearly 30 points, and John Stockton was an ASSIST-machine. All-time assist leader. Utah was basically the San Antonio Spurs of that time. The Warriors just haven't had to challenge a team that is fundamentally unstoppable like Spurs (Twin Towers), Houston Rockets (Hakeem Olajuwon days), Utah Jazz (Stockton and Malone), and even the tough Detroit Pistons (with Ben and Rasheed Wallace, Billups).

Warriors can still beat 95-96 bulls even with hand checking. Here's the reason why. The warriors is not playing iso game so they doesn't care about that hand checking. The warriors plays "BALL MOVEMENT" catch and shoot threes. With Kevin Durant, steph curry, klay thompson. They're spacing is unstoppable

if warriors had the hand check it would also help them on defense. People always forget that it works both ways.

scottie and michael were the bestest friends 3:11

Vince knows both eras the 22 season long legend

Honestly both teams are great in their own era. It’s like comparing apples to oranges. It’s 2 different eras. Bulls are the kings of the 90s. Gsw are just shooting machine and in their era they are kings. Let’s just leave it at both are great. If I would have to chose which team I would want to go with, I’d pick the bulls. Lol

he 96 Bulls with Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, KuKoc, Kerr, Harper will Beat the Warrior in 5 or 6 games Even with today’s’ rules. What people always forget to do when comparing the team is they compare stats But with it easier to score and allowing zone defense would make the Bulls significantly better individual and as a team!!!! Alonzo Mourning, Vince Carter, McGrady and even Jeff Van Gundy (who hated Jordan) stated Jordan would un-guardable with the NBA rules of today averaging 50 points per game. (I think 40 points with 10 assist a game Jordan) Pippen who averaged 22 points would average 30 with 15 assists as a game with today’s rules. Charles Barkley stated under today NBA rules the “96 Bulls would be better offensively and defensively”. That is almost unarguable. The Bulls in their last three-peat were hit with multiple techs because of Zone defense which is now legal!! So naturally allowing the Zone defense would make the Bulls better than they already were with their 72 win team. And offensively I don’t know how to argue that PIPPEN, Kukoc, Kerr, and Harper would be better. Kerr and Kukoc were the least physical of the Bulls and still hit 52% and 41% from three respectively. In Today’s NBA rules they would hit more three and be just as accurate. PIPPEN and JORDAN would be unstoppable offensively. I think Defensive Jordan would hold Curry to 20 points. Harper would slow down Klay. Pippen and Durant would be an interesting match up, because of Durant good offensively but Pippen defensive is best non-center defensive I have ever seen! I think Pippen would hold Durant to 20 or lower. Warriors have no one that can handle Rodman. He would be able to help Pippen with Defense on Durant in crucial moments and get back for rebounds. Most importantly, the only position other teams would try to expose on the Bulls was at center and Luc Longley is better than Pachulia Warrior Center! Shaq, Penny, Anderson, Shaw, and Grant couldn’t take advantage of that weakness and Shaq is the Most dominant center ever. McGee would be an interesting match up when he comes in he does make a big impact but he has not proven to be able to do that for an entire game. If McGee becomes a starter and maintains his effectiveness then the 96 Bulls would be in trouble. RIGHT now the Bulls have elite all-time great defenders in PIPPEN, JORDAN, RODMAN, and HARPER that would expose the Warriors loose ball movement and lack of elite defenders. One day I think there will be a team better than the 96 Bulls but it's not today’s Warriors.

I think BULLS in 6 with today's rules. BULLS probably sweep or win in 5 in the 90s

The Bulls wins hands down. No doubt about it. 100 percent.

Longley, Harper, Rodman, Pippen, and Jordan are my all time starting five for a reason.

The 96 bulls were hot. You have no idea. These Bulls were a serious serious serious force in the 90’s. You can’t take it lightly. The Bulls were contending against many tough players and teams. This weak NBA we have today does NOT have the same talent that exploded in the 90’s. The 2017 warriors are nowhere near the 1996 bulls. This to me is a very stupid discussion.

Bulls would still win in today's rule. Looked at game 1 of west conference final between Spurs and Warriors, before Kawhi went down with injury, Spurs was in complete control and winning by more than 15 points. Pippen > Kawhi, Jordan and Harper >>>>>> Parker and Danny green, on top, there is Dennis Rodman and Kukoc. I am confident to say that 96 Bulls is better than this year Spurs.

They can handle the physicality cmon man! Warriors can beat the Bulls in 5 maybe.

Jordon in wizard is a glimpse of what they could do in modern rules

No matter what rules it is, no one can stop MJ 🔥

Real question is if the 16-17 Cavs can beat the 95-96 Bulls in the ECF? Would be nice since it would be LeBron first time facing competition in the Eastern Conference.

Its funny they had this convo back in '17. In 2022, Warriors have won 4 titles and it has only aged like a fine wine.

Got Scottie's freak juices flowing talking about beating the Warriors

Another question, will Kerr coach GSW or play in Bulls?

🤣🤣 Chicago Bulls would destroy them and walk away with a ring!

Scottie Pippen is one of my favorite player of all time..I know I'm from the Philippines but in 90s Scottie was totally Amazing..

Regardless of which rule system, it's the Bulls for me. Imagine Jordan and Pippen with even less hand checking AGAINST them? The numbers would be off the chart.

Idk. I'm a huge Bulls fan and I think the 96 bulls would smack the 16 warriors around. But when they added Durant... idk. One of the most stacked teams ever. That's the crazy thing about the 96 Bulls. They weren't that stacked. They were just a well oiled machine. They weren't stacked like the 86 Celtics, 87 Lakers, 71 Lakers, 65 Celtics, Warriors, Heat, etc. Like Scottie said they just had a good bench. I think if they were allowed to snag the Durant equivalent for their team after their 72 win season then they'd be able to take em. If they added like Penny Hardaway or Grant Hill or something, I think the Bulls could definitely beat them.

In today's rules, the way Jordan plays would have the entire starting 5 foul out on those mamby pamby foul calls they have now and have shot 40 free throws lol.

It’s crazy how when Vince was talking about hand checking they proceed to show non-contact plays

The Bulls were first in offensive and defensive rating Pippen and Jordan were floor generals on defense. They combined to form a wall that teams just couldn't penetrate. It wasn't like this for just one season either. Let's not forget that they combined to average over 50 per game as well. Gotta take the Bulls. They would still have the best scorer, best rebounder and best defenders. Rodman gave others fits as he was a ferocious, dirty defender. The others could also defend well above average.

how is a non championship team getting compared to the 96 bulls really lmao

Bulls would've destroyed the Warriors with no problem

Vince Carter is an interview genius

They barely got passed Houston last year to think they would beat the 96 bulls is comical with that insane defense.

Y’all keep talking about how rough basketball was back then.... do y’all forget that players today are way more athletic now then before? With their better strength and speed they can easily adapt.

This aged well... The Warriors lost to Toronto Raptors.... You are clueless to suggest a comparison.

what power scottie had man

Vince carter head is so smooth

Thank you Vince Carter.. and Paul Pierce sounds stupid saying Golden State would beat the 96' Bulls with todays rules, like it wouldn't be even easier for the Bulls. 😆

I’ll be generous and give the Warriors one win, Bulls in 5

I need a revaluation of this debate today

I have respect for Scottie ahaha nothing like d -rod response 😂
