The Chicago Bulls, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Golden State Warriors are some of the best dynasties in the NBA. Recently, Stephen Curry of the Warriors caused controversy by commenting on one such dynasty.
According to the 4 time NBA champion, the Warriors of 2017 can get the better of the Lakers of 2001, which had stars like Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant. Safe to say, this wasn’t taken well by Shaq.

Although the Warriors of 2017 are nothing less than legendary, former Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal believes they will not get the better of the Lakers of 2001.
Shaq said, “I think we win, we gonna win because we got Kobe. I say we can win because who’s gonna guard me and Kobe, right? Here’s my rebuttal. Once they get hot, D Fish send them to the whole, I’m gonna lay their whole a** out.”
He added, “We still gonna be hitting them 3s, every time we up on you 3, you gonna have to drive. And every time you drive, you gonna have to worry about me laying your a** out and I’mma lay all of them out, Steph, Klay, and KD, I’m gonna touch their a** all the way up.”
This came after Curry made some controversial comments. Safe to say, a matchup between these super teams will be a treat to watch for all NBA fans.
