The Bulls were tougher than any other team

“And I’m not being critical of any of these Warriors’ mental toughness, but nobody that I’ve seen had the type of mental toughness that Michael Jordan had, especially in ’96. He was on a mission.

"Remember, the year before he had been knocked out of the playoffs in Orlando and Nick Anderson said [number] 45’s not the same as 23.

"I’d go with the Bulls not only because of the intangibles, but because they have the players that I think could defend Golden State much better than Cleveland.

"Dennis Rodman and Draymond, and I think Rodman could get with him. And then you’d have Pippen with Durant, which is a tough matchup. I’m not saying they’d shut him down, but they could stick with them. And Toni Kukoc would play a much, much larger role. They could go with a small lineup - Kukoc, Harper, Pippen, Jordan… that could play with the death lineup of Golden State."
