Jordan's advice to Thompson, Warriors: 'Go ahead and break the record'

Klay Thompson has said that his Golden State Warriors have every intention of breaking the 72-win record still held by Michael Jordan's 1995-96 Chicago Bulls.
Now, it seems, he has MJ's blessing to do so.
Klay Thompson told me he met Michael Jordan last night. Jordan told him "go ahead and break the record". More on @CSNAuthentic...

The Warriors are in the midst of the most inspired title defense in history, having hit the All-Star break with the best record (48-4) of all time - a game ahead of the '95-96 Bulls' pace.
A 25-5 record after the break - which, barring injury, actually seems plausible - would make these Warriors the best regular-season team to have ever existed.
