?Michael Jordan?s Different?: Despite Beating LeBron James Thrice in the Finals, Stephen Curry and Warriors Would Fail against Bulls GOAT, Claims Former All-Star

The Golden State Warriors and Stephen Curry have been on a roll in the NBA. The Warriors have won four championships since 2015, with the most recent one coming last season. Stephen Curry has been quite sensational and was awarded the Finals MVP for the first time in his career in 2022. Golden State has shown that they are one of the strongest modern NBA teams. However, former Golden State All-Star Gilbert Arenas does not believe that the 2017 Dubs could beat the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls.

Michael Jordan won six NBA rings with the Chicago Bulls between 1991-1998. The 14-time All-Star managed to secure two three-peats during this time. He and his teammates made the Bulls one of the strongest teams in league history.?

Meanwhile, Stephen Curry-led Warriors won the championship last season against the Boston Celtics. The Warriors also defeated LeBron James and his former team Cleveland Cavaliers three times in the NBA finals. Still, Gilbert Arenas felt that Michael Jordan’s uniqueness and the 90s Bulls team’s greatness would not have been easier to conquer.

Gilbert Arenas thinks Michael Jordan is unique

During a recent interview with VladTV, Arenas reacted to Draymond Green‘s claims that the 2017 Warriors would have beaten the 1998 Bulls team ‘by a dub.’ The three-time All-Star disagreed that Golden State would have managed to beat Michael Jordan . Arenas stated that MJ was single-handedly beating Dream Team opponents when he got mad. Arenas also said, “He’s the different breed. He’s a different mindset.”?

Subsequently, the NBA veteran suggested the 2017 Golden State Warriors were an offensive-heavy team, while the 1998 Chicago Bulls relied on their defense. The 40-year-old admitted that the Warriors could play defense too. But, he reckoned the ultimate challenge would have been to figure out a way to stop Michael Jordan.

The host pointed out that the Golden State Warriors defense managed to stop LeBron on three occasions in 2015, 2017, and 2018 finals. Arenas replied, “Yeah, Michael Jordan’s different. That’s just a different type of motor.”

Moreover, Gilbert Arenas believes Michael Jordan was more explosive off the one-two step, giving him an edge over LeBron James. The recent comments from Arenas will certainly fuel the LeBron James vs Michael Jordan GOAT debate among fans.
