Draymond Green Lashes Out at Michael Jordan?s Bulls After Shaquille O?Neal Mocked Stephen Curry?s Hot Take on Lakers: ?It?s Dumb to Compare Eras?

NBA legends Shaquille O’Neal and the late Kobe Bryant were one of the best duos the league has ever seen. During their time together for the Los Angeles Lakers, the duo won three titles. And it was a three-peat from 2000 to 2002. Furthermore, the Lakers are the last team ever to three-peat. The only team to come close to a three-peat is Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors when they won back-to-back in 2017 and 2018. They also reached the finals in 2019 and had the chance at a three-peat. However, Kawhi Leonard and the Toronto Raptors shocked the world by winning the title.

Because of their dominance, the 2017 Warriors and the 2001 Lakers are always compared with each other. Fans and players alike indulge in finding a winner between the two sides. Recently, Stephen Curry claimed that his 2017 Warriors would beat the 2001 Lakers. And Shaq responded that his Lakers would indeed beat the Warriors.

Now, Draymond Green has taken to Twitter to share that the Warriors team would beat the 1998 NBA finalists Chicago Bulls and the Utah Jazz. He has taken the example of Michael Jordan and the Bulls to say comparing eras is not ideal.

Shaquille O’Neal believes the 2001 Lakers are better than the 2017 Warriors

Shaq in his podcast claimed that the Warriors will have to double him every time. He said, “They’re gonna have to double me. If they don’t double me, I’m going for 60 without the free throws.”

The 2017 Warriors are one of the strongest teams in recent times. The trio of Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, and Klay Thompson took care of the scoring. And Green did what he usually does. While Curry took a back seat, Durant took care of business. KD was crucial in the Warriors’ title wins in 2017 and 2018. And he also won the Finals MVP on both occasions.

Also, his injury setback during the 2019 playoffs is also a huge factor in losing the Finals that year against the Raptors. Durant came back in game-5 when the Warriors were down 3-1. However, his comeback was short-lived after he left the game with a ruptured Achilles.

The 2001 Lakers are one of the best teams ever. In the 2001 playoffs, the Lakers made the Finals without losing a single game. They dismantled every team on their way and swept them comfortably. Even in the Finals, they were expected to win the title without losing a game.
