Most of the time people are always trying to protect history, especially when it comes to history in sports. Mercury Morris from the 1972 Miami Dolphins made note of the fact that their 19-0 record will “last forever.” Michael Jordan and the 1996 Bulls have the record for the best NBA regular season record 72-10. As the Golden State Warriors are on pace to break the record, Jordan has made note that he wants to see the Warriors break the record, as he told Klay Thompson to “go ahead and break it”.
Klay Thompson told me he met Michael Jordan last night. Jordan told him "go ahead and break the record". More on @CSNAuthentic…

Its pretty shocking to see the ultimate competitor as Jordan is known for give Thompson that type of encouragement. I guess as MJ gets older his competitiveness gets just a little bit softer.
