ESPN’s The Last Dance documentary has created some fun debates about those fantastic Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls teams of the 1990s, and Clippers guard Patrick Beverley wants in.

It started on Monday morning, when Bleacher Report posed a question to its audience: If the 1996 Chicago Bulls played the 2017 Golden State Warriors, who would win? As you can imagine, the comments were filled with well-measured and reasonable basketball debates.

Beverley answered the question by pointing to the bench units, saying it’s hard to gauge the starters. One Twitter user replied, saying that Steve Kerr – the Bulls version – would be a liability on the court because he “can’t guard anyone.”

Not skipping a beat, Beverley replied with a shot at Stephen Curry.

Beverley is no stranger to seeing Curry’s game up close – the two have played each other 28 times in their professional careers. Curry has often gotten the best of Beverley in those contests. He holds a 19-9 record, and has averaged more points, rebounds, assists, and steals than Beverley has in those contests.
