Couldn’t agree with Draymond more. I don’t think it’s a fair discussion because of all the advancements, but if you had a Time Machine and could just put the ‘17 warriors on the court with the ‘96 bulls, I don’t think it’d be close. Warriors would decimate them.
You really think Jordan would let his team get decimated? Not a chance.
Which era game style would they be playing? If it was the Bulls era Curry would not be what he is today, the 3 point shot wasn’t that prevalent. If it was the Warriors era, Jordan would be a much better 3 point shooter because that would be the game. So add a better 3 point shot to everything Jordan already had and he would be a much better player. And the things Dennis Rodman would do to Draymond Green wouldn’t be fair.
He’s been decimated before. And like Cap said, the 3 point shot not being as prevalent is exactly what would give the warriors the advantage. They’d rain down 3s and the bulls would be down big before they had time to realize what happened.
I mean those Bulls started Dennis Rodman and Luc Longley together…two absolute zero shooters. Can you imagine Longley trying to guard a pick n roll? Curry would be walking into 3s over and over and would almost certainly set 3pt records in that series.
The W’s wouldn’t have to even guard Longley/Rodman, they’d absolutely pack the paint on Jordan and double him non stop. They could put Kerr in to try and add spacing, but that means he had to play defense now too.
Teams won in the 90’s with size and physicality. The nba adapted and realized that skill and shooting all over the court is a much better way. Longley would be utterly unplayable and I wouldn’t be surprised if Rodman would be hard to play. He’d certainly make a defensive impact, but he’d really hurt offensively. Pippen/Jordan/Kukoc….those are really the only guys I know would have to be on the court.
