Vote: Who would win series between 1995-96 Bulls and 2015-16 Warriors?
It’s a debate that has been raging since the moment this season’s Golden State Warriors appeared capable of winning 72.
Who would win a series: Stephen Curry’s crew or the team that first won 72, Michael Jordan’s 1995-96 Chicago Bulls?
Now, we ask you:
The Phil Jackson-led Bulls were the first team to reach 72, propelled by Jordan and longtime running mate Scottie Pippen, as well as rebounding maestro Dennis Rodman and a certain sharpshooting guard who would later go on to be head coach of … these Warriors.
Yes, that’s Steve Kerr, who (with the help of Luke Walton) has guided Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and several other key players to 72 wins — reached Sunday with a victory at the San Antonio Spurs — with 73 happening if they beat the Memphis Grizzlies in Oakland on Wednesday.
