The MJ PR machine is impressive ngl.
His first 3 postseasons he got bounced first round. Swept twice with a 1-9 total record. Next 3 postseasons all got ended by DET. 6 straight postseasons of belt to ass before his 1st Finals trip and folks will be dead serious when they tell you that’s that’s more impressive than a Finals run in your very 1st postseason.
Like I said it’s reached the point where the PR machine around him is so unapologetically revisionist that it’s actually impressive now.

Here are all 13 of SGA's buckets from Game 4 -- a showcase of insane skill and shotmaking, beautiful basketball from all areas of the floor.
He took a total of SIX free throws before the Wolves started intentionally fouling, and there are people, including a lot of media, fixated on the SIX free throws, and not the masterpiece SGA painted.
It's weird.
