“I remember going to a Blazers game in ‘98 when Jordan was there,” Thompson told Nichols. “It was like nothing I’d ever seen before. It was like Michael Jackson and Justin Bieber was in the building, all in one though.”

Stephen Curry also recalled watching the Bulls in their prime.
“Every time they came on TV, you knew it was going to be a special game,” he told Nichols. “You knew it was going to be an electrifying atmosphere, kind of like what we’re experiencing now — the Bulls were going to get every team’s best shot.”
The Warriors, who need to win their final three games to beat the 1995-96 Bulls 72-10 record, recently visited a fortune cookie factory. Nichols said Thompson wrote “73-9” on a fortune.
“I was trying to bring us as much luck as possible,” he said. “To get to 73 wins, you need a little luck on the way. Hopefully that fortune will bring me and my teammates some.”
