Chicago Bulls 1995-96 Team Still Greatest

The 2015-16 Golden State Warriors might have eclipsed the record for regular-season wins, but their failure to win a championship means the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls are still the greatest team in NBA history, at least according to two of that team's most vocal players.

Scottie Pippen was asked at the end of an interview with ESPN Radio's Mike & Mike on Monday who the greatest team in NBA history was after the Cleveland Cavaliers rallied from a 3-1 series deficit to stun the Warriors and win the NBA Finals in seven games.

"The 1995-96 Bulls," Pippen said. "We live on."

Pippen, who earlier this year said he thought the 1995-96 Bulls would sweep this year's Warriors squad, admitted he was pulling for the Cavaliers to win the Finals, but said with their 73-win regular season, the Warriors "truly have the record."

The Warriors are coached by Steve Kerr, another member of that 1995-96 Bulls team. He said after the game the Warriors were "stunned," but said the better team won the NBA Finals.

"That's the beauty of the NBA playoffs. You play a seven-game series. The best team wins and they were better than us in this series," Kerr said.
