I'll slap you with my member
Wouldn't expect anything less from Scottie. I think GSW would win 1 tho.

The Bulls didn't sweep the Knicks or the Sonics that year. For him to say it would be a sweep is ridiculous.
I've always said previously that if played by old rules, Bulls win, likely in 5. I think there's a plausible situation where they get to a 7 game series, but the likelyhood of that is slim.
In today's rules, the Warriors would have a legit chance to beat them in a 7 game series. Factoring in all the rule changes and defensive schemes that are allowable now, it would create opportunity for the Warriors that was not there back in the 90's.
Scottie Pippen is the most overrated basketball player in this history of overrated basketball players.
Put it this way...
Scottie Pippen < Bill Russell
Scottie Pippen is one of the best defenders in this history of of basketball, while averaging 19/20 points a game, 5 boards, and 4 steals. IN the top 5 in steals all time and has 8 NBA 1st team all defense awards - only KG, Duncan, Jordan, Kobe, and the Glove have more.

Scottie Pippen would give Steph Curry all he could handle
The sonics and Knicks were not nearly as good as the Warriors.
I think the Bulls would win in 5 or 6 because they had the ideal guard trio to defend curry, Thompson and Barnes, and they can easily match the Warriors small ball lineup by subbing Kukoc for their center.
That said, Pippen should not be saying this. It is a bad look for him. Whether the Warriors win 73 or not, win another title or not, it takes nothing away from Pip and the 96 Bulls accomplishments. They will always be mentioned among the greatest teams of all time, and since they can't play, we will never know for sure.
Enjoy the game and stop putting others down Scottie. Just makes you look like a whiny spotlight whore.
Bulls only lost 1 in OT to the Knicks during the entire Eastern conf playoffs and were up 3-0 on the Sonics in the Finals.

Thank God for HD nowadays
To Scottie defense, the media asked him how many games would last with the Bulls and he said 4. It's the hot story right now for the media. I'm doubt the Warriors would have no problem shutting down The glove and Shawn Kemp Sam Perkins and The Detlef Shrimpfffh. The Knicks were not even in the East Finals that year. Orlando was in the East Finals with Shaq, Horace, and Hardaway. Nick Anderson missed about 8 free throws or they might have won a game that series.
That was badass. Laughing at Spike Lee coming onto the sideline.
I agree.
All those teams were good. They were not as good as the Spurs team the Warriors will have to go through. Not even close.
