The Golden State Warriors joined an illustrious club on Sunday night when they got a 92-86 win over the San Antonio Spurs. Not only did they end the Spurs home winning streak at 39 games, they also joined the 96′ Chicago Bulls as the only teams to win 72 games in one season. The Warriors have a chance to break that record and got encouragement to do so by a shocking former player, the GOAT himself, Michael Jordan.

Everyone in the Bay Area will be pulling for Golden State to beat the Grizzlies on Wednesday, but so will the best player from the ’96 Bulls team: Michael Jordan. According to Draymond Green, Jordan is encouraging the Warriors to break his team’s mark from 20 years ago, and he knows exactly who to blame if it doesn’t happen.
“Mike told me at All-Star, ‘Go win the record. Go get the record. If y’all don’t win this record, I’m going to be hot and I’m blaming you,” Green said after the victory on Sunday.
Jordan was one of the most competitive players in the game, so it’s surprising that he would want another team to break his record. Also notice that Jordan said he would blame Green and not Stephen Curry. Many people have acknowledged that Curry is the best player on the team but Green is heart.
