Pippen’s hard analysis of curry and 90 rules
When asked about the historic 72-10 campaign that the Bulls had in 1996 and that of 73-9 of the Warriors in 2016, Pippen did not hesitate to make a difference between the two times. “It depends on the rules. If you play with today’s rules, it would be one thing. But with the 90s rules, Curry would not be the same. If we played at the time, it would be like playing freely: nobody grabs you, nobody stops you. I don’t know who would win,”he said.
Michael Jordan’s former companion went even further by explaining why he believes that the Warriors would have had complications in front of his generation. “We were not prepared to launch 25 to 50 triples per game. They would probably win in that regard, because they have two of the best shooters, such as Steph and Klay. But we played physical, we defended strongly. We made the teams score only 75 or 80 points. Today, that is almost impossible.”
Finally, Pippen also left a message on other current figures of the League. According to him, not only Curry, but also stars like Nikola Jokic y Luka Doncic They could not have reached the same level of success in the 90s. While he acknowledged that Curry’s aim and confidence makes him a unique player, he insisted that the rules of his time would have completely changed the development of their careers.
