Scottie Pippen says 72-win Bulls team would sweep the Warriors

Basketball fans and analysts seemingly love nothing more than comparing players and teams across eras, even though it's impossible to say, for example, whether Stephen Curry would be dominant in the early 90s or if the 2016 Golden State Warriors are the best team of all-time.

Bulls legend Scottie Pippen, who starred on the '95-96 Chicago team that went a record 72-10, was asked by The Dan Patrick Show how that squad would match up with the defending NBA champions in a hypothetical series. Pippen unsurprisingly picked his own team to win, and (very politely) didn't give the Warriors a chance.

Pippen was then asked about specific matchups, and said that he'd like to guard Stephen Curry, with Michael Jordan taking Klay Thompson.

Current Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who was also a part of that legendary Bulls team, gave perhaps the best take on a Warriors-Bulls matchup last year.
