Exactly. Don't even need the Glove, would be overkill.

Any member of the Spurs would do.

Where's the GS Warriors ball lickers now?

Today's players are too skilled and athletic. Yes, many of yester-years stars would translate just fine in today's game, but the average rotation player would not. Today the league is faster, more athletic, and has much more depth. The players get better, not worst. GS would run circles around any championship teams from previous decades.

Not true. Not one of these players are as skilled and athletic as Jordan and Pippen in their prime. Maybe Lebron, but you think Curry could get off those ridiculous shots off with Jordan(9 ALL NBA DEFENSIVE FIRST TEAMS AND 1 DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR) and Pippen(8 ALL NBA DEFENSIVE FIRST TEAMS, 1 SECOND TEAM) face guarding him all day? These guys were like Draymond Green before Draymond was fashionable. They could guard 3 or 4 positions like an octopus, then punish you on the offensive end. And I won't even bring up Rodman who won back to back defensive player of the year awards in Detroit before leading the league in rebounding for 7 years straight.

Get off your recency bias high horse. Warriors, though great, are a product of their no hand check no breathing on offensive player era.

jordan could not stop curry ... nobody can. With his dribbling and retarded range? You kidding me?

Are you sure?

I am sure. Guarding players 20 feet and in is easier than guarding players you have to pick up once they get over half court. And you have to chase around screens for days. Curry's speed, conditioning, use of screens, bball IQ, and quick release would make Jordan's head spin.

This post LMAO once again.

Pin drops in this thread now.....

And 1.

re "jordan could not stop curry ... nobody can."

This is legend.

Warriors are fully taking advantage of this era's rules....we should applaud them!

Now if you were to have a debate 96 Bulls vs 16 Warriors, you'd have to apply the same logic. Which era's rules would you play in the 90s or 2010's? Either way I'd give the edge to Jordan and Jax Bulls, MJ would not simply allow Curry to go off and would take it upon himself to murder and destroy him mentally and physically. Pip would lock down Klay, and Rodman would give Draymond some noogies.

Players are quicker, smarter (shot selection), and more athletic now. I don't think the top teams from almost a quarter century ago could compete with the top teams now.
And if players are not athletic or quick enough to keep up with Curry now, I don't see how someone from the 1990s could.

Wrong. See old veteran San Antonio Spurs on March 19th.

Just need to scheme against midget ball.

I thought the Cavs made things tough for GS in the finals. If the Cavs were healthier things might have been different. It remains to be seen how things will go when they play the Spurs. GS has to prove what they are by winning again and it may not be as easy as the regular season makes it look.

Plus on GSW's way to the finals they were lucky to have the Clippers and Memphis suffer injuries to their key players. At full strength, I think those teams were better than GSW.

and still the warriors were tied with a few minutes to go?

In SA?
