Scott Pippen explains why the Bulls beat Kevin Durant during the Warriors era

Ever since Golden State Warriors' Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry dominated the court together, NBA fans have wondered if they're better than Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls. It's a fair question: These two teams are undoubtedly the two greatest teams in the NBA. It's just a matter of who's number one on both teams.

For his part, Pippen, who was once the legendary Bulls' second-in-command, thinks they can easily beat the Warriors. Pip sets out his reasons in his new book.

Essentially, Pippen broke the debate between the Bulls and the Warriors based on positional alignment. He thinks Dennis Rodman is better than Raymond Green, Luke Longley is better than Javier McKee or Andrew Bogut, and Michael Jordan is better than Clay Thompson. According to Pip, the Warriors' only win against a point guard position, where Curry is "clearly" better than Ron Harper.

As for his own match against Kevin Durant, Scott Pippen said it was an unknown. Finally, he also said the Warriors don't have a tech-savvy player like Tony Kucock on the bench. For these reasons, Pippen believes the Bulls will easily beat the Warriors.

Is Pippen right about the Warriors? Maybe the basketball debate is hard to judge, especially when we're talking about teams of two different eras. At the very least, Pip was right about the part where Jordan and Curry (who Steve Cole thinks Curry is similar in many ways) each won the game. Durant and Pippen debated like a coin toss, and the last two games were also 50:50.

However, it was this Warriors team that promoted the idea of no-position basketball. Your position doesn't matter to this team. Because of this, it is difficult to determine who is the winner here. Pick and choose.
