Scottie Pippen thinks he'd shut down Steph Curry, 1995-96 Bulls would sweep the Warriors

Yet another member of the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls threw down a prediction one of the NBA’s greatest teams would have dominated this year’s Golden State Warriors.

This time, it was Scottie Pippen, who told Dan Patrick Show producer Paul Pabst the ’95-’96 squad would sweep the Warriors. He added he would have kept Steph Curry under 20 points.

Obviously, this is going to keep on happening since this series is nothing but a hypothetical. But it’s worth remembering what ex-Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller told For The Win last month when speaking about asking questions of Hall of Famers regarding how they’d do against Curry:

“It’s not fair to put a microphone in front of Oscar Robertson and ask him, ‘Well, how do you think you would have fared against Steph?’ What made Isiah [Thomas], Oscar, Magic [Johnson] Hall of Famers was their competitive edge. It’s not fair to ask, ‘Do you think you could stop Steph?’ So when they ask me, am I going to say, ‘No, I can’t shoot it against Steph?’”

In this case, did you expect Pippen to say he’d lose in a battle against Curry and the Warriors? Exactly.
