Some '95-96 Bulls going all '72 Dolphins, cheering for Warriors to lose

Published Jan. 21, 2016 12:45 a.m. ET

Looks like the team with the greatest record in NBA history is a fan of the club with the best mark in NFL history.

When the last remaining unbeaten NFL team suffers its first loss each season, several members of the 1972 Miami Dolphins — the only NFL team to ever finish a season unbeaten — famously celebrate with champagne.

Now, with the Golden State Warriors threatening the 1995-96 Bulls’ mark of 72 regular-season wins, some members of that famed Chicago team said they want the Warriors to fall short of their record, and will celebrate when (if) they do.

Speaking with ESPN’s Nick Friedell recently, some of those old Bulls offered up plenty of praise for these current Warriors — including head coach Steve Kerr, their teammate in the mid-'90s who is now head coach in Golden State though still out following back offseason surgery.

But they also made it no secret which team they think was better, and which team they want to hold that all-time wins record.

Swingman Toni Kukoc:

Center Bill Wennington:

Guard Randy Brown:

As for the Warriors’ pursuit of 72-10, the old Bulls could have used some help from the current ones on Wednesday night, but Golden State blew the doors off the United Center, winning 125-94.
