    It's football offseason and baseball won't be relevant for another 4 months. ESPN and the like have nothing else tangible to talk about besides this and Kobe.

    It's a stupid debate until Golden State wins a few more titles. Go compare the Bulls to someone who's won like they have already. Like LA or the Celtics. Not saying I don't think Golden State can get there but it's a stupid comparison at this time.

    I respect the mid 90's bulls, but revisionist history is at a peak. This idea the Warriors would get swept is ridiculous. The sonics took them to 6.

    If people think the Warriors are finesse and soft because they shoot a bunch of 3s, you're not paying attention.

    Green vs. Rodman would be a war. Bogut is much better than Luc Longley. Barnes + Iguadalajara are better than Toni Kucok.

    Speights and Ezeli are as good as front court depth as there is in the NBA.

    You have the Jordan and Pippen factor in the Bulls favor and that's it. And they are dealing with Curry and Klay. This idea Curry would be mauled ineffective isn't accurate when he is quicker than Pippen and Jordan and has legitimate 30 ft. range.

    Today's athletes are better, get over it '96. Ron Harper sucks.

    GS and our Mariners have so much in common. Both will have 9 losses soon

    They're being compared to the 96 Bulls, not the entire Bulls dynasty. No question GS needs at least three more titles before you can even think of comparing dynasties. But comparing one season to one Bulls season is fine. And this team would beat the 96 Sonics, even with 96 rules. Which means they'd take the Bulks to 7 at the very least. I think they'd beat them.

    Matchups matter. I think the physicality of the 1996 Bulls in their era would cause major problems for a smaller team like Golden State. Under today's rules, the Bulls couldn't get away with that kind of play.

    The Bulls never had to guard anybody 25 feet from the rim. The Warriors would be a bigger shock to the Bulls' than the Bulls would be to the Warriors.

    Fine, Jordan and Pippen never had to guard anybody 25 feet from the rim. And if you think Big Smoove had Curry/Thompson range I can't help you.

    Sounds like you're back tracking. Which story do you want to stick with?

    The Bulls had three of the greatest defenders of all-time in Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman. Ron Harper was no slouch defensively either.

    They would be just fine beyond 25 feet.

    IMO the difference between the two teams is the same argument I would use on any NBA basketball game.

    Whoever #23 is on, that is the team I am taking.

    It would be fascinating to watch Jordan on Curry and Pippen on Thompson.

    Granted the bulls wouldn't be allowed to hand check and be physical on D versus the Warriors, but can you imagine what MJ could do into league offensively not being able to d up on him.

    What would he avg. under today's rules per game? Over under would be 37.

    The 96 Bulls won the title and the Warriors haven't won it this year. I'm right.
