The NBA has had several elite teams over the year. Whether it is the Chicago Bulls led by Michael Jordan or the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant and Shaq, they all dominated the league.
One of the greatest teams of this era has been the Golden State Warriors. Particularly, the Warriors of 2017. The team had stars like Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green play for their team.
A few months ago, Curry made headlines for all the wrong reasons. During a Q and A session on YouTube, Curry made a claim that his Warriors team would beat the Bulls.

Interestingly enough, Gilbert Arenas, the man who got offended by Michael Jordan favored him and the Bulls over the Warriors.
Arenas said, “You have Michael Jordan. They have a KD. It’s a perfect matchup. But when you’re talking about somebody like Jordan coming through the lane, he’s gonna average 40-something that series because there’s no one that can physically stop him. “
Interestingly enough, Jordan once offended Arenas. After Arenas dropped 40 points, he walked up to Jordan expecting a compliment. However, Jordan compared him to Randy Brown, a bench player in the Chicago Bulls.
Arenas said, “He was like, ‘Man, you remind me of one of the players on my team,” Arenas said. “I’m like, ‘Oh, s***, I remind him of like [Scottie] Pippen or himself?”
