Check out the latest buzz below.

Kerr Says Warriors Won’t Win 72

With the Warriors 16-game win streak, comparisons are being drawn to the 1996 Chicago Bulls team on which now-Warriors coach Steve Kerr played. The Bulls won 72 games that year.

When asked if the Warriors could pull it off, reported ESPN, Kerr responded, “Oh God, no. No!”

“We had this guy named Michael Jordan on that team. That year, I think we were 41-3. So if we can go 21-1 the next 22 games, come talk to me,” he added.

He also said Jordan singlehandedly won at least 10 of those games. 

“What I remember that year is there were about 10 games where Michael just decided, ‘We’re going to win,’” he said.

“And every other team on Earth would have lost those 10 games. And Michael Jordan was ... there'll never be another one. Nobody has ever come close, and I don’t think anybody ever will. He wanted to break that Lakers record of 69 wins, so he decided we would do it, so we did it. There’s only one Michael.”
