"You say they're on a dynasty run, but I don't see it that way," Pippen said. "They picked up probably the best player in the game [Durant] after they won their first championship. I don't consider that a dynasty run...

"I think bringing Kevin Durant in really changed my respect as to where I rank this team going forward in terms of a dynasty."

"Dynasties are teams that does things special, does things different," Pippen said. "Even in the year that [the Warriors] won 73 games, they lost the title. So I can't consider that part of their dynasty. That wasn't a dynasty season."

Made the Finals 5 years straight. Won 3 titles. Won the most games ever in one season.

Definition of dynasty. His arguments would be why it’s not the best dynasty which it’s not and no one will argue that it is

I do think the way they brought in Durant cheapens it a good bit. Had Durant been there from the start or not just racked on to a 73 win team in his prime I wouldn’t feel that way. The league was stupid for the way they handled cap expansion.

Still the answer to the question of “are they a dynasty” is yes without a doubt.

Cheapening and all that only comes into play when ranking different dynasties.

Wasn’t that the player associations fault? They’re the ones that didn’t want to smooth it I thought.

Always look for someone's angle.

Pippen was on a dynasty himself. The Warriors are a threat to his teams dynasty in basketball history. Therefore, he will discredit the Warriors whenever he can.

In short, he's biased.

Yes, because KD forced his way onto the Warriors and the Warriors organization and players had absolutely no say in the matter.

Get out of here with that nonsense. The Warriors did this to themselves.

Warriors would have been swept by the second Bulls championship team. Harper, Jordan, Pippen and Rodman were all elite defenders.

Harper on Steph. Jordan on Klay. Pippen on Durant. Rodman on Dray.

The notion Warriors are the GOAT is nonsense.

Yes.

The owners can play the long game. Players cannot. Because of that, they make short sighted decisions.

Only reason Scottie is saying this is because he want his bulls to remain the greatest Dynasty ever(Technically that tital should go to the Bill Russel Celtics, but whatever). He has no reason tk worry, what the Bulls achieved is without a doubt more impressive than this Warriors run.

This is correct

the Bulls might have (probably) won 8 straight without the 2 year gambling suspension.

Nobody still believes that wasn't what happened do they? no sure why that matters unless you are betting against yourself

For nfl players yeah, but the nba with fully guaranteed contracts are definitely smarter to smooth out.

The NBAPA fricked up because the money spikes didn't occur in multiple years.

If they aren’t a dynasty then neither were the Heat
