Klay Thompson: We aspire to be that dynasty that will be in the minds of NBA fans forever

Klay Thompson set the bar high for the Warriors that will try to win their third NBA title in four years.

Per ESPN,  Klay Thompson isn't hiding from the fact that his team aspires to be this era's version of the 1990s Chicago Bulls that won six championships in eight seasons, led by Michael Jordan.

"What's that, six championships in eight years?" Thompson said Saturday, when asked whether the Warriors were the closest thing the league had seen to the Bulls dynasty. "So we're, what, like only a third of the way there? I think it's close. We still have a long way to go, but I do see the fandom, the fanfare like the Bulls had in the '90s.

"Every time the Bulls came to town, that was the ticket of the year. Now it's when the Warriors come to town, that's the must-see game. And we don't take that for granted; that's such a cool position to be in. We rarely play in front of a crowd that's not sold out. That's so special. It's hard to really grasp that as a player. So I think it's close. I still think we're not on their level yet, but that's what we aspire to be of the 2000s. We aspire to be that dynasty that will be in the minds of NBA fans forever."
