95-96 Chicago Bulls OVER the 15-16 Golden State Warriors

What can happen if we simulate the 95-96 Bulls vs. the modern day Warriors? Here is a video of the Bulls winning the game in a video game simulation. Simulations are irrelavent. Simulations are not humans. http://youtu.be... -- Con says, and I quote, "If 2 of the All-NBA players were from the same team, there must not be enough competition" Based on what? Maybe the fact that the 2015 squad did not have 2 from the same team shows there is no elite team today compared to 95-96. It's semantics. -- This web page has Jordan as the best player ever and Pippen as the 40th best player ever. http://www.ibtimes.com... http://www.si.com... This page has Jordan and Pippen ranked as the #1 NBA duo of all time. http://uproxx.com... -- The 95-96 Bulls went 72-10 and actually won the championship. The Warriors are 49-5, have not pulled off a 72-10 or better season yet. https://en.m.wikipedia.org... The Warriors have run a half mile at this pace, but can they run the full mile? We haven't actually seen it YET. And even if they do pull it off, that doesn't mean they could beat the 95-96 Bulls in a 7 game playoff. It's also possible that the competition today is weaker than in 95-96. -- We should consider the Warriors head coach, Steve Kerr, who himself played for the the 95-96 Bulls. "The Warriors have improved on both ends of the court. Last year, their offensive rating was 107.5 (12th in the NBA) and their defensive rating 102.6 (fourth). This year, they lead the NBA in both categories at 111.6 and 100.7.When you have the same players performing markedly better on both offense and defense under a new coach, that’s probably what’s making the difference." So who was the difference? Steve Kerr's basketball mind and coaching philosophy has made a big difference. Now who did Steve Kerr play for in the NBA again? Answer? The 95-96 Bulls. -Steve Kerr won the NBA three point contest in 1997. https://en.m.wikipedia.org... -Kerr shot 45.4% from 3-point range over his career, which is the highest in NBA history for any player with at least 2,000 shot attempts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org... -When Kerr left Chicago, he went to the Spurs and was on yet a 4th straight championship team. https://en.m.wikipedia.org... -Frank Saul and Steve Kerr are the only players to win two championships with two different teams in consecutive seasons. https://en.m.wikipedia.org... -Steve Kerr was a part of 5 championship teams, 3 with the Bulls and 2 with the Spurs. 1996 Bulls 1997 Bulls 1998 Bulls 1999 Spurs 2003 Spurs -- "Phil Jackson is widely regarded as one of the best coaches in the league, and possibly the best in the league's history. His winning pedigree certainly speaks for itself and is a testament to that notion. Jackson has been a coach for nineteen seasons, and during those nineteen seasons he has 19 playoff berths, 13 Finals appearances, and 11 NBA Championships." m.bleacherreport.com/articles/412598-is-phil-jackson-actually-the-best-coach-in-nba-history Phil Jackson coached 11 NBA World Champion teams, the most in NBA history. https://en.m.wikipedia.org... Let's look at reality here: 1)The 95-96 Bulls were coached by arguably the best coach in NBA history. 2)The Bulls were led by arguably the best player in NBA history. 3)The Bulls were led by arguably the best duo in NBA history. 4)The Bulls had the best 3 point shooter in NBA history, even above Stephen Curry. 5)The Bulls had the NBA "6th man of the year", Tony Kukoc. https://en.m.wikipedia.org... 6)The Bulls had a giant at center in Luc Longley. Longley was a 1st round draft pick. Height 7 ft 2 in Listed weight 265 lb 7)The Bulls had arguably the best "2nd man" in the game in Scottie Pippen. Pippen was a first round NBA draft pick. 8)The Bulls had Ron Harper. Harper was a first round NBA draft pick. Harper won NBA championships with the Lakers after leaving the Bulls. 1996 Bulls 1997 Bulls 1998 Bulls 2000 LA 2001 LA Harper made his NBA debut on November 1, 1986. He broke 30 points in just his sixth game, with 34 against the Sacramento Kings on November 11, 1986.

We are trying to compare a team which already finished off an actual 72-10 season, and actually finished off a dominating playoff run that ended in a championship vs. a hypothetical finish that hasn't happened yet and could finish with no championship at all.
