and by extension the Warriors, would have struggled in the NBA of the '90s. One reason for that is that the game is less physical these days
I feel like this is the stupidest sports debate of all time.
If the Warriors play in the 90s against the 96 Bulls, they're losing bad. If the 96 Bulls play in today's league, 6 players foul out and the tempo of today's game throws them off. Comparing players/teams from different eras in terms of "what would they do if they played in this time period" is beyond stupid and pointless. Teams are assembled to win in the here and now. Players always find an edge in any era. Of course the Warriors aren't as physical as great teams in the 90s, but they don't have to be to have success today. Not being assembled like teams 20+ years ago doesn't invalidate greatness. It's the ultimate "Get off my lawn" take.
