The Chicago Bulls, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Golden State Warriors are some of the best dynasties in the NBA. Recently, Stephen Curry of the Warriors caused controversy by commenting on one such dynasty.

According to the 4 time NBA champion, the Warriors of 2017 can get the better of the Lakers of 2001, which had stars like Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant. Safe to say, this wasn’t taken well by Shaq.

Although the Warriors of 2017 are nothing less than legendary, former Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal believes they will not get the better of the Lakers of 2001.

Shaq said, “I think we win, we gonna win because we got Kobe. I say we can win because who’s gonna guard me and Kobe, right? Here’s my rebuttal. Once they get hot, D Fish send them to the whole, I’m gonna lay their whole a** out.”
