Do you believe the Warriors with KD could have beaten the 96 bulls in a seven-game Finals? Stephen Curry: Absolutely. Obviously, we will never know. But you put us on paper with them, I like our chances. I say Dubs and six.

Of course, the #Bucks play again Thursday when they host the Golden State Warriors and Steph Curry, who has just a little bit of range 🎯
“I mean, we gotta guard him now.” – Wesley Matthews, while still sitting in the Spectrum Center.

LeBron James scored 35 points last night, 13 more than the other four Laker starters combined.
That’s tied for the third-largest such difference in the NBA this season:
+26 Paul George (10/29/21)

+13 Kevin Durant (11/8/21)

VanVleet has made at least four 3P in each of his last eight games.

I think people forget what a great player Karl Malone was late in his career.
Most 30-point games in NBA history by a player age 35 years or older:
80 – Malone
48 – Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
39 – Michael Jordan
38 – LeBron James
He’s the oldest and third-oldest MVP in NBA history. pic.twitter.com/QGvyecXQ5s – 1:31 PM

More on this storyline
Bob McAdoo: I think my game would have been perfect for today. I’ve heard a lot of people say of all the old guys, Bob McAdoo’s game would have translated better than anyone because he was doing what [Kevin] Durant is doing now. I see these guys playing now, and they think it’s so phenomenal, and it is, but they got to realize it was done before them. I see Luka Doncic and Durant. I saw Dirk Nowitzki. I see all these big guys shooting and I’m like hmmm, that favors what I did in the 1970s. -via NBA.com / December 7, 2021
Bob McAdoo: Now, they have the private jets, they can get out of town right after the game. We had to get up at 4 or 5 in the morning to take a commercial jet. We had to take our own uniforms and shoes. These guys don’t have to take nothing. The only thing they have to bring is their game. Also, the money is different. These guys don’t have to fight to get contracts. They are giving guys averaging five points per game $50 million. It’s crazy. -via NBA.com / December 7, 2021
Bob Pettit: My favorite player to watch is Kevin Durant. I consider myself a forward. He’s such an incredible player but I watch him because that’s the position that I played when I was playing basketball. I would not have wanted to have played against him, I know that. I think he would be as effective then as he is now. When the game gets on the line, he’s looking to take the shot. In any era, Kevin would have become an outstanding and wonderful player. But you’ve got all kinds of great players that just leave you in awe and you keep your mouth open when you’re watching them. It feels like every team has two, three or four great players on it who you can enjoy watching any night you watch them play. -via HoopsHype / October 21, 2021
