In the history of the NBA, there have been many historical teams, and the NBA 2K official will also add some classic teams to the game every once in a while, such as the Bulls of jordan, the triple-crowned Lakers, Duncan's Spurs, Curry Durant's Warriors and so on. The two most iconic teams of the 90s and 21st century are probably the Bulls in 1996 and the Warriors in 2017.
The Bulls of Jordan's era are extremely dominant, completing two triple crowns, such a legendary experience is difficult to see in other teams, so, in the eyes of the outside world, Jordan is the first person in history, which is not suspenseful. Since the 21st century, only the Lakers have completed three consecutive championships, and the Lakers with peak O'Neal and Kobe Bryant are unstoppable, helping the Lakers reach the peak of team history. However, in the past 20 years, the most qualified team to play against the Bulls in '96 may be the Warriors in 2017, when Durant, who was only 28 years old, joined forces with 28-year-old Curry, as well as the two All-Stars of Klay Thompson and Dream Green, Iguodala was also at the end of his peak, and the Warriors formed the most luxurious big five lineup in history.
In the 16-17 and 17-18 seasons, durant completed two consecutive championships two years before joining the Warriors, and from the beginning of the 14-15 season to the 2018-19 season, the Warriors completed their domination of the Western Conference, reaching the Finals for 5 consecutive years and winning the NBA championship three times. At that time, the Rockets took the side of the sword and formed a special lineup against the Warriors, because if they wanted to win the championship, they had to beat the strongest team.
There is constant discussion about who is stronger for the 2017 Warriors and 1996 Bulls. Just recently, warriors giant Curry responded to this topic in an interview, in Curry's view, the Warriors in 2017 can win the Bulls in 6 games, because Durant is in the team.
Curry said, "We obviously don't know the outcome of the series (Warriors vs Bulls), but I would say that the Warriors with Durant will take the Bulls in 6 games." This statement is very confident, which is also the characteristic of NBA stars, who never think that they are worse than others.
Many fans have also expressed their positions, "Jordan's lifelong desire is to play a game to grab seven, because he has never played", "the Rockets have surpassed the Bulls in those 17 years", "Although the Warriors were very strong at that time, the Bulls were a historical team", "I only know that the Warriors who own Durant do not have three consecutive championships", "There is Jordan, you are all brothers".
The Warriors of 2017 and 2018 are indeed strong, but not without weaknesses. The biggest opponent is the Houston Rockets, that year, the Rockets formed a lineup with Harden + Paul + Ariza + Capela + Bamot as the core, and played unlimited change tactics, which made the Warriors very uncomfortable, KD could not play the best level, Curry was limited by Paul.
The Rockets once led the Warriors 3-2 in the Western Conference Finals, but unfortunately, Paul missed the G6 and G7 due to hamstring injuries, so to this day, there are still fans who regret for the Rockets, and paul's hamstring is only away from the championship. The Rockets were the only team in those years that could almost equal the Warriors.
If the Warriors in 2017 can beat the Bulls in 6 games, the Rockets in 2017 are also eligible to challenge the Bulls. The Bulls are a historic team, though, and obviously, the Rockets aren't, and if you look at it that way, the Warriors weren't as perfect as the Bulls of '96.
Jordan's best thing is that his Bulls have never played a steal-seven game in the Finals, regardless of the opponent's level, up to 6 games. That's dominance, but Curry is confident that it's understandable, after all, the Warriors of 2017 and 2018 are one of the strongest teams of the 21st century so far, and can be compared with the top Lakers, Spurs, Heat and other giants.
