The Golden State Warriors are the talk of the sports world after equaling the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls' mark of 72 wins on Sunday. And the sports world took notice, as many prominent teams, players and coaches took to Twitter to congratulate the Dubs.

One of the best players on that 72-win Bulls team, Scottie Pippen, sent his well-wishes even though he said earlier in the season that his Bulls club would sweep the Warriors. Ron Harper, the Bulls point guard, also weighed in.

Giving credit where credit is due. Congrats to @SteveKerr and his @warriors on win no. 72. They earned it tonight.

.@StephenCurry30 showed why he's the MVP. As cold blooded shooter as I've ever seen and a basketball IQ that is off the charts.
