Ron Harper: 1997 Bulls Would Sweep the Warriors
- Thread starter Big Boss
- Start date
Those Bulls are basically the Cavs of last year with a superior version of Bron in MJ, a superior version of TT in Rodman, and Pippen, and shooting, and depth and an actual offense. Cavs were a Bron miss from going up 3-0 last year even while lacking all that stuff. So Ron's statement is not as ridiculous as some would believe. This years Warriors with their championship experience and confidence probably make it more interesting before succumbing.
MJ is not better than Lebron.
TT and Rodman are not similar. Rodman is an elite defender who was undersize and could defend SF/PF while TT is a PF with great size who rebounds extremely well. I swear I hate MJ stans.

This is why I don't understand people talking about MJ would get D'd up and stripped by the zone.
Bron, who's less fundamentally sound/technically skilled, put up 36 ppg on the Warriors and got any shot he wanted.
Bron just wasn't that efficient.Had he been, the Warriors probably would've loss to a "bum ass" Cavs team.
bron got all his points inside because hes bigger then anybody the warriors have on the wing
mj is 195 in his prime, bron is easily over 260 these days

Rodman could D up C's & he was a much better rebounder than Triston Thompson.
He'd murder the Warriors on the boards.It's not about size when it comes to Rodman.He was beyond "extremely well"....he was on some gifted, clairvoyant shyt.

Bron is below average in the post.He penetrated and got whatever he wanted it, but he just wasn't hitting at a high percentage.
You making it sound like he was on some Charles Barkely shyt out there.
The Warriors were also one/two shots away from going up 3-0. See how two can play this game?
As soon as the Warriors' role players started making open jumpers the series was basically over.
His statement is completely ridiculous, one of many of these ole back in my day ass nikkas who work on nostalgia rather than what's actually happening on the court.

What about the 2001 Portland Trailblazers?
Nah..I forgot...I forgot
Not enough 3 pt shooters....Warriors in 6
That's because the Warriors allowed him to put up shots at will. It was by design. He took 33 shots to get 36 points.
I can play the if game too - if the Warriors role players actually made their open shots at a decent clip all throughout the series, it would've gone five games at the most.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion however those opinions must have some sort of basis. There is no basis to put Bron above or even equal to MJ
.Tristan's role on the Cavs is to play D and clean the glass. Dennis' role on the Bulls was to play defense and clean the glass. Nope can't see any similarities there

Yeah but that would only have relevance if the Cavs were as good as the Bulls. You aren't suggesting that are you?
If you can come within a shot of going down 3-0 to that depleted, broke shooting ass squad, I don't see how its' a stretch to suggest that you would get swept by a squad that is better than that squad in every aspect of the game.
Yea cuz Jordan would've gotten out scored in the NBA finals in his prime by a
bench player who stole his nickname from Kenny smith
