Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green made the rounds last week for a somewhat controversial take. He claimed that the 2017 Dubs were the greatest team in NBA history and that theyād beat Michael Jordanās Chicago Bulls by at least 20 points.
Not only thereās no point in debating something thatās impossible to know, but that take rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. No disrespect to that historically-great 2017 team, but Jordanās Bulls won six titles in 8 years with two three-peats.
Thatās why even Warriors veteran Andre Iguodala had to chime in and share his thoughts. Per Iguodala, thereās no way a Bulls team with Michael Jordan wouldāve lost to anybody, 2017 Warriors included.
Andre Iguodala Disagrees With Draymond Green Over Warriors vs. Bulls Take
āIām picking the Bulls, Iām not even arguing with you because any team with Michael Jordan on it, Iām picking except for 2012 vs. the ā92 Dream Team. Iām not picking the ā92 team, Iām picking us (2012 USA Olympics team) even though the ā92 team had MJ,ā Iguodala said onthe Point Forward podcast.
āI think we are a more talented team, I just think they were a higher level IQ team. The way we shoot the ball is different though,ā Iguodala added.We shoot the ball very well, like very well.ā
āIt will be interesting. I think thatās one thing thatās not viewed as much, we donāt look deep into, is that they control the pace of the game. So yeah, the score was low but they were controlling the pace of the game,ā Andre explained. āThey know how to limit your possessions, and the rules of the game have changed as well, so you can get more possessions in. We all say, once you get to thefinals, that two-point shot becomes real important, and they be acting like itās not important.ā
Greenās takewas far from a surprise. Heās not the one lacking confidence, and heās been talking a lot since winning that fourth NBA championship. But at the end of the day, itās all wishful thinking and hypotheticals.
