  The Golden State Warriors are headed to their 6th NBA Finals in the last 8 years. While that puts into perspective how crazy it was that LeBron James made 8 consecutive Finals, it is also much harder for a single team to enjoy that success over such a long period.  Players switch teams, stars get old, draft assets get depleted, etc. always break down once-great teams into lottery fodder. However, Golden State is in the third era of their core trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green and are going back to the Finals. The first era saw them win the 2015 title and lost the 2016 title in a shocking collapse. The second era was with Kevin Durant when the Warriors were basically unstoppable until injuries got them in 2019. After two years in the lottery led to some smart picks, the Warriors are right back there matching the 90s Chicago Bulls in terms of their proficiency in getting to the NBA Finals. Many people have been comparing these dynasties for years, especi...

  Scottie Pippen has been making headlines for a while now, especially with his relationship with Michael Jordan. The 'point-forward' created a terrific duo with Jordan in Chicago, winning six championships together, living incredible moments in Windy City.  As we all know now, Scottie wasn't so happy with the way things were handled back in the day, and Michael's treatment of his teammates. Pippen has taken many shots at his former partner in crime and he's shown no remorse for that. The relationship with MJ is ruined now, and Scottie isn't changing his speech about Jordan.  During a new interview, where he talked about his book and the things he lived during his time in Chicago, Pippen took a shot at the media for never voting for him as the DPOY, saying that they were too busy watching Mike instead of paying attention to Pippen's defensive efforts.  “I think they were too busy watching Michael,” Pippen said, via Brad Sullivan of Ahn Fire Digital.

  If there is something that will never end it is the comparison between players from different eras. Even in that niche, most comparisons revolve around the legendary players from the Chicago Bulls. Yes, we are talking about the likes of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman. A perfect example of that was seen by fans back in a 2019 interview featuring Dennis Rodman. The Worm was asked about his thoughts on guarding none other than LeBron James. Rodman replied: (starts at 6:06) "You know who could lock up LeBron? Me, Mike, and Scottie could. F*ck yeah. I would have locked his a** up. LeBron is so easy to play. He’s so f*cking easy to play, he don’t have any moves. Only move he has is streak down the line. He ain’t got no moves. Where he going?? Where is he going that’s quick? That’ll be sh*t, you can stop that. Scottie Pippen would have shut his f*cking a** down quick before I get to him. His game is too simple, he’s just big. I’m 260 and 6’8” and 6’9”, that’s the onl...
