During the 1996-97 NBA season, the league's 50th, some of the great teams were mentioned and debated -- the 1966-67 Philadelphia 76ers, the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers, the 1982-83 Philadelphia 76ers, the 1985-86 Boston Celtics, and the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls. Michael Jordan ended the discussion when he said, "Anybody else win 72 games?"
The 2015-16 Golden State Warriors answered, "We did!" after they thumped the Memphis Grizzlies for win #73.
Michael Jordan will now have to amend his riposte and ask, "Anybody else win 70-plus games and win a NBA championship?"
70-plus wins don't mean a thing without a ring. That one is all Ron Harper. But he does speak the truth.
