Ron Harper: 72-win Bulls would sweep Warriors 'for sure'
With the Golden State Warriors off to an 11-0 start and coming off of a 67-win championship season last year, whispers of 70 wins and the fabled 1995-96 Chicago Bulls are starting to emanate from the Bay Area.
At least one member of that 72-win Bulls team, though, doesn't think Stephen Curry's Warriors would have any chance against Michael Jordan's Bulls.
@Howsito @DJ_ILLusive45 @LetsGoWarriors @SteinmetzNBA records are made to be broke but we would've sweep that team for sure!!!!

Harper, a 15-year NBA veteran who started 80 games for the '95-96 Bulls, later conceded the Bulls might have gifted the Warriors a game or two, but he doesn't appear ready to entertain the idea of historical competition for that legendary Bulls team.

For what it's worth, Harper's Bulls outscored opponents by an average of 12.3 points per game during the 1995-96 regular season, while the Warriors are winning by an average of 16.3 points during their perfect start, albeit in a much smaller sample size.
