Basketball fans should not compare eras with different styles of play, according to Draymond Green.

He wants them to know the Warriors wouldn't have a problem with Michael Jordan's 1998 and 1996 Chicago Bulls teams even if they were the same team.

I’m watching the 98 Bulls vs Utah in the Finals… I can’t help but notice our 2017 team would’ve beaten these Bulls by a dub and these Jazz by 40 if they’re going to play these brands of basketball. And that’s why it’s dumb to compare Era’s

96 Bulls. 98 Bulls. I STAND ON IT!

Question… When they be comparing Era’s are they taking into consideration the drastic differences In style of play? Regardless of the answer, it’s very dumb to compare one era to the next era.

The debate about NBA stars and Jordan has been going on for a long time. It's natural to compare the Warriors dynasty with the Bulls one of the 1990s, since the question of who is the greatest player of all time has been argued ad nauseam.

The 1995-96 Bulls set an NBA record with 72 victories, but the Warriors broke it with 73 victories. The Golden State team lost in the NBA finals to the Cleveland team, while the Chicago team won the title.

The Warriors went on to win the first of back-to-back titles after adding Kevin Durant, and Green said the team would defeat the Bulls in the new year.

The styles would be different with Golden State spacing the floor and launching threes and Chicago relying on Jordan. Steve Kerr was a sharpshooting guard for the Bulls and the head coach of the Warriors, so what role would he play?

Green's coach is very knowledgeable on both sides of the debate.
