Nick, in 96 when u were getting picked last at recess, we were determining how to guard the GOAT and a 72 win team all without our glue guy Nate McMillan.
Call me sometime and I can teach u Hoops 101 for free. Ok? 👍
In the ‘96 Finals, George Karl in one of his many feats of coaching malpractice, refused to let Payton guard MJ until the Sonics were down 0-3.
When he finally relented, MJ went 22-60 from the field, 1-9 from 3, averaged 23-5-3 on 36/11 splits & the Sonics won 2 of 3. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
