The 1995-96 Bulls won 72 regular season games -- the most in NBA history.

The 2015-16 Warriors are 15-0 -- tied for the most wins to start a season in NBA history.

Steve Kerr averaged 8.4 points and 2.3 assists per game for that historic Chicago squad.

The fact that he's the head coach of the Warriors makes him the authoritative voice when it comes to answering the question:

"Who would win in a hypothetical matchup: The '95-96 Bulls or the '15-16 Warriors?"

"My initial thoughts are that it is literally impossible to even compare, because the rules are so different and the eras are so different," Kerr recently told ESPN's Ethan Sherwood Strauss. "We would overload the strong side on [Michael] Jordan, and they would call illegal defense; and they would put their hands all over [Stephen] Curry, and the refs would call a foul. That make sense?"

"The only thing I know for sure is I had no chance to guard Steph. So I would say, we would probably have had to put a combination of Scottie [Pippen] and Harp [Ron Harper] on Steph."

Pippen was named First-Team All-Defense in '96 and would have to slow down a guy who is averaging 32.7 points and 5.7 assists per game, and is on pace to make over 404 3-pointers on the season.

Jordan was also First-Team All-Defense in '96 and would probably find himself guarding Curry at various times throughout the mythical game.

"I do think the game would have gone small, because the Bulls' bigs at the time were not offensive enough to stay on the floor," Kerr explained. "I'm going to have to say, 'the Bulls' and 'the Warriors.' I can't say 'we' and 'they' because nobody will know what the hell I'm talking about. So, the Bulls' bigs would have had to exit. So, you would have had an epic [Dennis] Rodman versus Draymond Green matchup...

"That would have been fun to watch, wouldn't it? You know, Draymond's a much more skilled basketball player in terms of ballhandling and playmaking and shooting, making 3s, that kind of thing. I think Dennis was a real inspiration to Draymond, though, in terms of the hustle and the rebounding. Nobody's ever rebounded like Dennis since Dennis. He had a way of impacting games emotionally that reminds me a lot of Draymond. I imagine there would have been a few technicals involved. Maybe a fight or two."

The Warriors' "small ball lineup" of Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Harrison Barnes and Green has logged 56 minutes this season.

Its offensive rating is 160.9 and its defensive rating is 90.0 for an other-worldly net rating of 70.8.

"I think the biggest similarity between the two teams is the versatility defensively," Kerr declared. "The Bulls teams, [former college and Warriors coach] Johnny Bach used to call Scottie and Michael 'Dobermans.' And Scottie, Michael, Dennis and Ron Harper, those guys would switch everything. That was the first team I was ever part of or that I ever saw that would just switch 1 through 4. And we could even switch 1 through 5 when we had [Toni] Kukoc out there. So in some ways, that team was like a precursor to the Warriors. So with the right matchups out there, you could have seen 10 players all switching on each other."

The '96 Bulls were 13-2 through 15 games with a +125 points differential. They scored 103.5 points per contest and allowed the opponent to shoot 45.5 percent from the floor.

The current Warriors are 15-0 with a +216 points differential. They are pouring in 114.5 points per game while holding the opposition to 42.7 percent shooting.

So what's Kerr prediction?

"No comment," he answered. "I refuse to comment on the score of this hypothetical game that would never happen ... well if it takes place on Pluto, then I believe it would hinge on a step-back Steph Curry 3 over Michael Jordan at the buzzer. And we'll never know if it goes in or not."
