The first year I started following them they beat the Sixers in the finals. That was when Philly had Chocolate Thunder.

I'll never forget watching the Lakers back then. They really did put on a show. Magic, Kareem, Worthy, Scott, Green, Rambis, "to the hoop" Coop, etc.
Great times. The passing game, run and gun, just a fun atmosphere. Set the stage for today's style of play IMO.

Watching Jordan in the 90's as an Illinois kid was surreal.
Jordan was a god to me.

Imagine sweating a game 7. Or getting swept. Lol.

MJ was not normal.

I learned how to shoot a jump shot watching Byron Scott.

The Bulls would lose to the Warriors. In 6.

Depends on the era. The Warriors get smoked if it's played in the 90's. They struggled with the physical play of the Rockets. Let that sink in.

GS would fold like a bunch of bitches if they played in the 90s.

The reason why this NBA revolution of three's is occurring now is because it CAN occur now. You could not take the GS team built as it is right now and win a title in the 90's. Jordan had to redo his training regime and gain muscle and strength to withstand the Pistons and their Jordan rules style of play. The Bulls would get shelacked today because they simply don't have enough scoring, let alone three point shooting.
The Warriors would finish the season looking like they got hit by a bus.

Nostalgia is a powerful emotion.

Who guards Durant?

Recency bias is pretty powerful as well.

I'll ask Phil Jackson.

No one guards Durant. He's going to get his. Just like no one on the Warriors is guarding Jordan - they don't have anyone who can block his shot, and he embarrassed much more physically imposing defenses. The Warriors aren't a good rebounding team either, and they have to go up against Rodman. The era in which the game is played decides the winner, IMO.
