Michael Jordan's 1996 Bulls team. He answered "yes" in six games.

The Dubs five was: Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala and Drymond Green.

The '96 Bulls were: Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Toni Kukoc, Dennis Rodman and Ron Harper.

I go with the Warriors.

What say you all?

And should we also throw in the '80s show time Lakers and the Bird/Parrish/McKale Celtics of the same era?
