Draymond Green says 2017 Warriors would beat Michael Jordan’s 1998 Bulls

 

 

On Sunday night, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green posted an interesting viewpoint on Twitter. Green supposedly believed that the 2017 form of the Warriors will easily overcome Jordan’s Bulls while viewing a tape of the 1998 NBA Finals between the Utah Jazz and the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls.

 

“I’m watching the 98 Bulls vs Utah in the Finals,” Green wrote… “I can’t help but notice our 2017 team would’ve beaten these Bulls by a dub and these Jazz by 40 if they’re going to play these brands of basketball. And that’s why it’s dumb to compare era’s.”

 

Green’s admission that comparing eras is “dumb” but continued to do so is really amusing. While comparing teams and players from different eras can be entertaining, it’s also a fruitless exercise because we’ll never get to see the actual games take place, making it impossible to judge how teams from other eras compare to one another.

 

Green isn’t the only Warriors player to recently declare that the 2017 team recently defeated a legendary team. Just last week, Stephen Curry predicted that the 2017 Warriors would defeat the 2001 Lakers in a series, a group that included Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant.

 

“Between the ’96 Bulls and the hypotheticals of a 7-game series, the 2001 Lakers and that hypothetical series, or every other hypothetical series that people say we should’ve lost because of an injury or because of whatever the case may be, those conversations are trivial,” Curry said. “But at the end of the day, if you could match up in some alternate universe, us versus the 2001 Lakers, obviously we feel like we can win. I don’t know who would guard Shaq but I don’t know who would guard me and Klay either. We rockin’ with that. And three is better than two.”
