As the reigning NBA champions marauded their way through November, shattering the record for most consecutive wins to start a season, basketball observers started wondering if the Golden State Warriors had a shot at the all-time best season, 72 wins and just 10 losses, which Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls achieved during the 1995-1996 season.
