He was wrong once about the record but coach Steve Kerr does not think he will be wrong again after the Golden State Warriors eclipsed the Chicago Bulls’ NBA wins mark.

The Bulls won the title in 1996 – and Jordan mentioned the playoffs in a congratulatory statement.
The Warriors open the playoffs as big favorites over the No. 8 seed Houston Rockets in a rematch of last year’s Western Conference finals.
As far as what Jordan’s reaction before the breaking of the record, Warrior’s power forward Draymond Green said that Jordan told him during the NBA All Star Weekend to “Go win the record. If somebody had to break the Bulls’ record, I’m glad it’s them”, President Barack Obama’s Twitter account said. Laughing over the hypothetical nature of the question, he addressed it this way: As a complete hypothetical, as in, if the game were played on Pluto, Kerr said: “Well, if it takes place on Pluto, then I believe it would hinge on a step-back Steph Curry 3 over Michael Jordan at the buzzer”. Curry added another benchmark by becoming the only player in league history to have four games with ten or more threes in a season. Known as “Wilt the Stilt”, Chamberlain led the team in scoring six times and quickly began shattering National Basketball Association scoring records and changed the National Basketball Association style of play forever.
The Lakers game peaked at 5.1 million viewers at 1 a.m.to 1:15 a.m. which came towards the end of the game when Bryant pushed to 60 points. He finished the game with 10 threes on 19 attempts, and finished the season with a total of 402. Stephen Curry expressed his message for Kobe Bryant through his Twitter account.
So, the Warriors: Best team ever?

“There’s so many guys who’ve sacrificed themselves”.

FEAR THE BEARD? The Warriors handled the Rockets in five games a year ago and appear too deep for this Houston team that needed to win its final three games just to finish. Close behind them are the Cleveland Cavaliers, who after finishing with the Eastern Conference’s best record at 57-25 are slated at 4-1 odds. “If he doesn’t win, well, you’re talking about a situation where you want to make sure you go out and review all of the ballots”.
