Horace Grant: Any of six Bulls championship teams would have swept 2016 Warriors

As the Golden State Warriors' quest to top the 1995-96 Bulls' 72-win season winds down with only four games left, a comparison between the two teams has become a popular question.

Bulls legend Scottie Pippen said last Saturday that he believes the '96 Bulls would have swept the 2015-16 Warriors in a fantasy seven-game playoff series.

But Horace Grant says it's not only the '96 Bulls who could handle the Warriors in four.

"I say any of the six championship teams would have swept them," Grant said on SportsNet Central on Wednesday. "We had a comradery and we trusted each other, especially on defense. We had this love of getting our opponents down and stepping on their necks and getting rest. I think that's what Golden State is missing right now in terms of their defense."

The Warriors (69-9) suffered their ninth loss of the season on Tuesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Oracle Arena. In order to beat the '96 Bulls record, the Warriors would have to win their final four games — against the San Antonio Spurs (twice) and the Memphis Grizzlies (twice).
